Lights Out - New Rule

[Russ]

WOW, that is exactly what we just came up with for a house rule! Minus one to ranged attack rolls and can only search if you pass a 3+ roll. Heroes normally don't have any need to be more than a space or two from a door, so "lights out" feels like it usually doesn't matter at all. I wanted the Hero team to have a reason to feel a sense of dread, (or at least be mildly concerned,) when the power is cut.

Indeed, I was already playing like that
+ thematically, I was also adding + 1 difficulty to hit.

I also considered making more difficult to find items, for example: If a hero starting his/her movement on a building with: "Lights out", the hero can't search if the move roll is lower than 3.

The malus is removed if the hero has a light item: torch, headlamp, lamp etc... (headlamp should exist as an item!)

Certainly all this made "Lights out" much more powerful, so I also changed the rule of "place in a building of your choice" for "place on a random building".
