Bat-Token General Rules:
General Rules:
What is a Bat-Token?
-Bat-Tokens are unique artifacts that players discover as the game progresses. They hide on neutral lots and give the discoverer powerful one time abilities.
All Bat-Tokens can be used only once, and after their use they are removed from the game. Players may only carry one Token at a time, unless stated differently. All Bat-Tokens, unless stated differently have an expiration date, and must be used before that date or they will automatically be removed from the game once the expiration date is reached. Bat-Tokens, with long enough expiration dates or depending to the discovery date, may continue to function through Refresh Mondays, unless stated otherwise.
Bat-Tokens are spread throughout the city, and there are multiples of each type of Token; as well as being many various Token abilities. The number of a certain type of Token is based on rarity, with some tokens being very common and others being ultra rare.
Discovering Tokens:
When a player lands on a territory with a Bat-Token, they will be notified by a comment on their takeover picture, and they will then be FM’d (As soon as possible) the name and description of the Token they discovered, as well as being notified of the time limit in which they have to use the Token. Other than the comment about the discovery on their picture, the public will know nothing about which Token was found (Or what it does), and will only find out the abilities of Token if it is used. Tokens that reach their expiration date are removed from the game, and the public will not be notified about which Token it was or what it did.
If you own a Bat-Token and move onto a lot where another Token presides, the second Token remains dormant until a player with no Token lands on that lot. This means that there could be Tokens on owned lots that are just dormant. Sometimes it may be possible for a player to return to owned lots and discover Tokens that were previously dormant. Dormant tokens are never removed from the game; so unless a Token is found/used/expires/or is discarded, it will remain dormant indefinitely, and will stay placed on the map.
Using Tokens:
To use a Token, you must post that your character is using one during a corresponding action. Most, if not all, Tokens can only be used along with a certain type of action, whether it be a takeover, move, transport, etc.; the required action for use will be stated in the Token’s ability.
On the photo and the action log, you must post the name of the Token, along with its full ability. If this is not done, the Token is ignored and discarded. Tokens may not be used on past actions. Once a Token is used, it is removed from the game.
Discarding Tokens:
Sometimes, you may find that it is in your interest to not continue holding a token you own. At any time, you are allowed as a free action to discard a token you possess. To do this, you must simply post in the action log that your player is discarding a token. Discarded tokens are removed from the game.
