What would your special unit be able to do?

Swarzzenegar:

Ability: buff a unit to either:
- Do 1 more damage next hit
- Move 1 more hex next move
- Take 1 less damage next hit
- Gain 2 (1?) more visibility (stays unless placed on another unit)

Each buff can only be placed on one unit at a time

Complicated game mechanics, which is probably against the game design sensibilities of OML.

I think that's a very awesome concept but it does go against the simplicity of the interface and would make it a little packed. I think if you packed the +1 damage and +1 hex as a 1 wit buff. If that turns out to be too overpowered you could bump the cost up to 2 wits or make the buffs lost on being hit, or if it's underpowered the damage buffed +2. However the increased movement could be a bad thing (snipers ) and the animations could look wierd.
