As already mentioned to Joe in Barcelona I would like to make a suggestion on the whole "flipping to fallenwizard"-thing.
I see no evidence - neither thematic nor in game machanics - to eliminate the avatar until the next turn.
I think its much easier to handle if the only rules on that are:
1) Only flipping once
2) Flipped Avatar gives -5MP
If you think this makes the whole thing too strong I'd rather recommend making the flipback-conditions harder to fulfill. And anyway - poeple taking risks with their avatars is a cool thing in an ARDA game and should be supported by the rules!
For all those who have not been there and wonder why I put so much emphasis on this: I failed a corruption check on the last turn and fulfilled my flipback condition on the same turn and still was screwed... it was a very disappointing experience
