MUSTER ROLL OF THE SIXTEENpawns lead the march — tapped square or roll entry, the other answers⚔ 102 · 🛡 38 · ❤ 66 bannered
Signature: the board becomes the general's map — etched coordinates, dashed opening-move arrows in chalk-gold, a red wax "MUSTER GROUND" stamp on your ranks. Right of the board, the WAR BANNERS hang from their own pole — quantified and bound to their own kin. Non-human races print their accelerating ◆2/4/6/8 curves (Beasts buff their own ⚔, Angels their own ⚔🛡❤); Humans march the odd ◆1–15 ladder — a penalty slope below nine (−7/−5/−3/−1%), zero at nine, then +2% / +5% and the flat +15-all crest at fifteen. The demo field sits at ◆13: +5% to every Human's stats (the gold +4/+1/+2 on the shields is that percent landing), while Beast ×1 and Angel ×1 wait at "✕2 to arm". Percent tiers apply per race-total, then round. Full spec + audit in docs/wiki/pieces-roster.md §3b.

Signature: pure character-select energy — grid of seals left, one champion monumentalized on the answer stage right (element-tinted god rays, animated stat bars, flavor line). A2 is swapped for Hale the Recruit (real Epic/Light pawn shape) so rarity edges and the element stage tint are visible. Click any seal — the stage answers, the frame never moves.

Signature: a different palette on purpose — graphite iron + HUD amber. Board = tactical plot (mono coordinates, bracket-corner tokens, scanning sweep over the home ranks), right dock = unit inspector, bottom = command card with hotkeys, 16-token company manifest. Click a token, strip seat or inspector row target — the dock re-renders in place.
D · THE SUMMONER'S GRIMOIREcandlelit tome — illuminated roster folio on the left page, the board inscribed in a summoning circle on the right

Let each soul be counted ere the march — the Circle binds what the Folio names. One guardian spirit (✦ AEGIS) may ride with the host.

Signature: the collection screen as an arcane grimoire — left page lists the sixteen as illuminated entries (element-tinted medallions, italic serif, ink stat lines); right page inscribes the battlefield inside a rune circle with candlelight and an AEGIS wax warning. Hover a folio row — its spirit burns violet in the circle.
E · PARADE OF THE CHOSENpre-battle diorama — sixteen statues on a torchlit terrace before the fortress gate; no literal board, just a battle-order inset

Signature: the boldest read — the board disappears; your army is sixteen stone statues on two terrace steps under god-spotlights, fortress gate burning behind. Review happens on the "THE CHOSEN" plate (top right); the little BATTLE ORDER inset keeps the deploy mapping. The lobby already ships this move's cousin (the army snapshot) so the mental model carries.
