New Rules

Prayers
Before play begins the player should take the three new decks of Prayer cards, Retribution, Salvation and Invigoration. Each deck should be shuffled and then placed face-down within reach.

Once per turn the Warrior Priest may pray to the Gods. The player should take the top card from one of the the prayer decks and place it face-down in front of them. They should then role one combat die. If a white shield is rolled the player may turn over and read the card. The effects of this card last until the beginning of the Warrior Priest's next turn, when it is discarded. If a white shield is not rolled the card should be immediately discarded without being read. The Warrior Priest may never draw from the same Prayer Deck on two consecutive turns.

Blessed Heroes
Some of the Prayer cards refer to 'Blessed Heroes'. When one of these cards is read all Heroes may roll one combat die. Any Hero that rolls a white shield is blessed by the Warrior Priest's prayer and the effects of the Prayer card also apply to them. The effects of these cards always apply to the Warrior Priest and the player does not need to roll again.

Men-at-Arms
The Warrior Priest commands such respect that he will have no problem finding a band of followers to aid him in his great feats of heroism.
Men that believe in the Warrior Priests faith can be found in towns and cities all around the country and are willing to follow a Warrior Priest and fight for him to the death.

For this quest pack only the Warrior Priest may be accompanied by two such men on each of his adventures. At the beginning of each quest the player should draw two random Men-at-Arms cards. These will be his companions on this quest. They have two Body points and may roll as ‘Blessed Heroes’ whenever a Prayer card is read that affects ‘Blessed Heroes’.

[The Road Warrior]

So I'm starting work on a quest pack for the next character I want to add to the game, the Warrior Priest. I've spent the last few weeks reading through the various different clerics, priests and warrior priests that have already been created and come up with a system I'm happy with.

The idea is to limit the Hero to 3 attack dice and 4 defence dice and then allow him to gain random buffs with the three prayer decks. Prayers of Restoration will provide attacking buffs, Prayers of Salvation will provide defence buffs and Prayers of Invigoration will provide Body points, Mind points and movement buffs. The card system is loosely inspired by Tott's Cleric from Evensong and the topic he set up regarding this Hero. The idea of limiting praying to when the Hero performs another action comes from Dock's Warrior Priest amd should prevent the player from abusing the Prayers of Invigoration. The prayer card backs will change if I can find something that is more suitable (although I do quite like the Prayers of Invigoration).

I'm starting to be intrigued....continue....

[Sotiris]

Me too! I like those simple ideas (referring to Trollslayer too).
Eager to see the prayer decks.

[Gold Bearer]

Nice. Can he use edged weapons? If he can then there should definitely be a magic hammer artefact, one that works better on undead and maybe chaos. Targets defend with same same dice as their MP would be a nice one for him. I still haven't looked at your troll slayer quests if you still want to carry on with the wardancer quest and then back to the slayer.

Prayers of Restoration will provide attacking buffs

You mean retribution.

[The Road Warrior]

Me too! I like those simple ideas (referring to Trollslayer too).
Eager to see the prayer decks.

I'm not entirely sure what will be in the prayer decks yet. I have a few ideas but haven't made any decisions yet.

At the moment I'm thinking each deck would look be made up like this:

• 6 cards per deck - each card would have a 5.5% chance of showing up per turn.
• Each deck contains one 'Divine' card. The strongest card in the deck
• Some card effects will also apply to the Warrior Priest's companions. Maybe they have to roll 1 white shield as well to get the bonus?

So Prayers of Retribution may look like this.

1. Any Monster you attack must roll 1 less combat die in defence than usual.
2. You may roll 1 extra combat die in attack.
3. You may roll 1 extra combat die in attack.
4. All monsters in the same room or corridor must roll 1 less combat die in defence than usual.
5. You may roll 1 extra combat die in attack. All Heroes in the same room or corridor may roll 1 combat die. On the roll of a White Shield the effects of this prayer will also apply to them
6. Divine Retribution - Warrior Priest may roll 2 extra combat die in attack this turn.

Can he use edged weapons? If he can then there should definitely be a magic hammer artefact, one that works better on undead and maybe chaos.

I haven't decided on edged weapons yet but restricting them would be an easy way of limiting his attack to 3 combat die. I could then include a Hammer that attacks with 3 combat dice which would tie back in to the Trollslayer Quest Pack. His rules say he can use Hammers but there currently are none in the game.

There will be a 'Hammer of Sigmar' style artefact (probably renamed). Again I haven't really thought about what stats/powers it will have.

[The Road Warrior]

I changed the Warrior Priest's prayer ability a bit. I think this will work better, limiting him to 12 prayers per quest. This should be plenty. Each prayer has a 33% chance of working (44% when he has the Ring of Jade) and the player still picks the prayers at random from one of 3 decks. I have also included the first draft of the prayer decks but these still need a lot of work. Nearly ready for playtesting

I like the way it is implemented!
Maybe you can add an extra Bonus against unholy creatures like deamons, Vampires, Ghosts and Undead? Reroll the white shield roll or something like that?

Thanks

Although it fits the theme I'm not too keen on adding an Undead bonus. I think the base character should be equally effective against all monsters (from a game point of view not RPG, does that make sense?). Gold Bearer suggested 'a magic hammer artefact, one that works better on undead and maybe chaos'. I like this. A weapon that has a bonus against Chaos Warriors and/or Gargoyles would kind of complete the set. After all we do already have Orc's Bane and the Spirit Blade.

[Gold Bearer]

Typo.

Rejuvenation of the Masses
The Warrior Priest and all other Blessed Heroes regain two lost Body pointS.

A weapon that has a bonus against Chaos Warriors and/or Gargoyles would kind of complete the set. After all we do already have Orc's Bane and the Spirit Blade.

Actually there is an official weapon that does that in the Japanese version. Silver Sword. Attacks with four, five against chaos (not sure about gargoyles), two handed, barbarian only.

I think for divine retribution the should defend with as many dice as they have MP. That way it's better against undead without singling them out, and it makes more sense to defend with MP anyway.
