What's the point of stamina if he's only 3/3 and you can't gear him up? What
you're doing wrong is trying to put to many things into one card. The
combination is too weak for some things, which makes others useless. Try
making two or three skinwalkers, all medium sized, but varying. The warrior
could have Melee, Athletics, and Firearms, and get a free bow, with Stamina
(the biggest, somewhere 6/6). The Skywalker (or some tittle more suitable)
could not be targeted by specials and could have Recon, Social, and Stealth,
and be smaller, somehwere hovering around 3/4. The Healer (Or Elder, or some
such) could have Biotech, Conjuring, and Leadership, the ability to hold a
totem, but no gear cards, hovering around 4/4. Something like that. The
costs could be 8, 6, and 6, respectively, and they can all get +1/+1 and you
would have to pay an upkeep of one (total, not one each) if you had them all
in play.

Too powerfull bravestar. Try a higher cost, or a more stringent requirement.

Give it a cost of 2¥ and it's all good

Isn't it speed of the Puma? (Cartoon junkys forever!) Give it a cosy (2¥
would be fine) otherwise it's too cheap and powerfull.

Either make it a card at random, or get rid of it. Five seconds is enough.

Howabout maing it a different version of Poison? eg-
text- Play on a target runner damaged by an Amerindian Runner this turn.
Roll d6 1: No Effect 2-3: Runner takes d6 Armor Peircing Damage, 4+ Trash
target runner

Limit it to one challenge or give it restrictions. I assume you mean 1-2 no
effect 3+ Return...

How about: Turn and Amerindian runner. Play on target Objective. All players
may immediately play Challenge cards (up to the
maximum) on target Objective.

Just my 2 senses.
