PBP with custom Heroes

Postby Sotiris » Monday February 17th, 2014 6:41pm

I'm thinking to run a Play by post quest in a few days/weeks. Until then, you have to think hard which hero to create according to the following guides:

Skills.jpg


I will put some kobolds in the quest to test them. I hope to find a similar kobold icon in Heroscribe.
When someone is ready, inform me to create his final hero template (where's patroclus! |_P )
See you soon in the dungeon!

addition for champions:
Alchemist's shop.jpg

HouseRules:
1) I use both Falling rocks trap versions (NA+EU) which means that you do not know where the rocks will going to fall if you fail. On your square or on an adjacent one?

2) Damage from poison can't be healed by regular healing potions/spells. At the end of a quest poisoned heroes may recover 1 point.

3) 40 treasure cards (15 negative) from all quest packs+game system's treasure deck! Each room can be searched once per hero, chests need extra search. Some cards have been changed, for example “elven cloak of passage” can be used only 1 instead of 3 times by any spellcaster, “Wolfsbane potion” can be used as a poison antidote too, and with “potion of charm” you may hire 1 mercenary free (every champion can hire only 1 mercenary per quest, that's why i changed it)

4) Zargon keeps track of game rounds. Every 10 rounds he gains 1 token.
Old token system: When there are no monsters (reachable) on the board he can spend 1 token to draw a random treasure card.
Positive card=nothing happens and the card returns to the deck.
Negative cards are=
a) Wandering Monster (x6). A monster appears on the board and begins its move from an unexplored corner/door, unless a hero blocks the door (by standing in front of it)
b) Hazard (hole x2). Zargon puts a pit trap on a free square.
c) Hazard (hidden arrow x2). Zargon puts an unsprung spear trap on a free square.
d) Magical trap (x2). Zargon puts a fireburst trap on a free square which explodes on his next turn. It can be used in corridors too where it affects only visible figures.
e) Poison (x3). Zargon chooses one hero with at least 1 potion. That hero rolls 1 combat die. If a skull is rolled, one random potion will become useless, as it is turned to poison. Every card returns to the deck after its use.

New token system: 1 Token=1 die reroll for a Zargon's minion.

When a hero dies, Zargon gains 1 token and removes 1 treasure card from the campaign permanently.
When heroes pay 500 gold coins, they may return it to the Treasure Deck.

Option for more than 4 heroes: +1 token & +1 wandering monster for each additional hero.

5) A figure with 0 Mind Points rolls 1 combat die at the beginning of its turn. If a :whiteshield: is rolled, it recovers 1 M.P. and continues normally the game. If not, it loses 1 B.P. and continues with the following restrictions: defend & attack with 1 die and move 1 square maximum. Repeat the same process until a :whiteshield: is scored or the figure dies.

EDIT: Final set of Rules (since Q9)

I'll join. This is just a single quest right?

I have always wanted to try some of the the WoM/Z spells.

Hero Name: Fritz Von' Hougan-Hoffan
Hero Class: Nightblade (Magical Assassin)
Hero Icon: C3
Body: 5
Mind: 5
Movement: 2D6 (-50 gold)
Spells: Spellcasting + Darkness + Protection (-150 gold, -200 total)
Equipment: 4 Daggers (-100, -300 total)

I like your bonus attack die for thrown weapons. I have very rarely seen a player actually throw a dagger, and never a spear or hand axe, maybe it will be worth the cost now!

Let's limit that skill with only 1 re-roll, ok? If you roll :blackshield: :blackshield: you have to reroll only 1 die instead of 2.

Come on CP, i want you in! :) I'll keep a slot for you!


gootchute wrote:I'll join. This is just a single quest right?

..maybe 2..maybe 10 quests :lol:
We'll see. I'm not designing huge quests for starters anyway. If you like it there will be a sequel!

gootchute wrote:Mind: 4

You have exceeded your limit of your learnt skills.
M.P.1= 1 movement die
M.P.2= +1 movement die (it's the only "ability" you can learn at this level)
M.P.3= from this lvl you can learn a) +1 movement die, b) disarm traps/2in1 search, c) a custom skill (like JasonMCM did) or d) spellcasting ability.
M.P.4= you can learn your 1st spell group (if you learnt spellcasting) or you can learn one of the previous skills mentioned on M.P.3.

You have to add 1 M.P. or to remove 1 spell group or learn something else.
Just remember that every skill occupies 1 M.P. slot :D

Cool beans. How often am I going to be rolling multiple :blackshield:s anyway?

5 body 5 mind it is.

I did not realize the first move die costs a MP.

I thought it was...

Skills:
+1 move
Spellcasting
Darkness
Protection

Min 4 MP for 4 skills. Regardless I like your hero building method!

Name: Ibagaza the Assistant
Class: Runesmith (Dwarf)
Icon: B2
Body: 6
Mind: 4

Purchases:
- Helmet = 125 gold
- Spellcasting = 50 gold
- 1st spell group = 50 gold
Total spent: 225 gold

Gold left in pocket: 75 (I assume I can keep it for future use).
I'd like to try the one movement die for one quest. If it's too crippling I'll buy it after that.

Sotiris, in the armory, isn't the plate mail supposed to give +2 defend dice? Or can you wear it in addition to the chain mail?

Plate mail can be worn with the chain mail.
Of course you can keep your gold. (greedy dwarf!)
You can choose your spell group from now if you wish. It will be a quest against kobolds/fimirs, according to the text, in deep tunnels.

A weaponless hero attacks with 1 die ( :skull: =success).
Minimum dice rolls=1. example: if someone creates an Ogre warrior with B9 M1 he moves only with 1 die. When he buys plate mail he has no movement penalty (unless Mp=0).

I'll take the air spells. I might need a swift wind boost .

So we need one more guy right? A barbarian who can open traps would be ideal.
