The Schemer, moves like a King, but attacks like a Queen. That way it only moves around the board slowly, until it can strike. Escape is tricky as it can’t move fast when not attacking, so it needs to enlist the support of other pieces to cover it’s moves.
It should start in place of the King’s bishop, whispering intreague in his ear.
That’s the idea. Powerwise I figure it falls below the queen, but still has the potential to suddenly attack across the board. The downside being, it’s then potentially quite vulnerable as it can only move one square at a time to get away, unless it can attack again.

So for example: A Knight is 5 spaces away. The Schemer can move 5 spaces to take it, but if it doesn’t, it can only move 1 space?

A glass cannon for sure. I love it!
