Building a new Quest Pack: feedback is appreciated

[The Admiral]

Compared to the Heroes, the Giant Spider and Giant Bat are very large. Based off of my play testing I think the stats of the monsters work well. Always looking for play testers to help adjust stuff.

The Bone Knife does nothing else but it is the only piercing weapon the Wizard may yield. If you read the full armory I believe the cost to seem fair.

Unarmed Heroes get an attack of 1 Combat Die per Quest 6 of the base game. In Quest 1 the Heroes are not unarmed though as they pick up a Torch each.

So if I don't mention a certain name then you assume Lustria? Someone else can assume Junglelandia if they prefer? Think I like not placing a name on it myself. haha

This Quest pack can be played by any set of Heroes. Every Hero begins with nothing no matter how many Quests they've played or not played. If using old characters you may want to use new character sheets for this Pack so you don't forget what they all had before.

Not sure why a Wizard would buy a Bone Knife for 150gc when a normal knife is only 25gc, unless the standard armoury is not available in your quests?

1 dice from quest 6, thanks for that.

I didn't assume Lustria, just suggested it could take place there. As you say, it could be in any jungle of the warhammer world.

The game Armory and Alchemist are not available in this Pack. I posted the new Jungle Armory and Shaman Shop that go along with this Pack.

Quest 9 is finished, here are the special notes to go along with it:

*In Quest 9, the Heroes will meet a Werewolf. Use the Giant Wolf figure to represent this monster. If a Hero is injured by a Werewolf's attack, the Hero becomes a Werewolf, cursed to switch between Hero form and Werewolf form. At the start of every turn, the Hero must roll 2 Red Dice to see if he transforms into a Werewolf. A roll of 2 through 9 means the Hero remains in Hero form and under the control of the Hero; the Hero may move and act normally. A roll of 10 through 12 means the Hero transforms into Werewolf form and Zargon controls him as a monster for 1 turn (on Zargon's next turn).

When a Hero transforms into a Werewolf, replace his figure with a Wolf tile. All of his possessions are left in the square in which he transformed. Place a Weapon Pack tile in the square to represent the Hero's former possessions. The Weapon Pack tile stays on this space until the Hero returns to pick up his possessions. (Monsters cannot take the Weapon Pack.)

This Werewolf is a true monster, with no Hero abilities and all the abilities of monsters (moves on Zargon's turn, attacks as a Werewolf, unaffected by traps or pits, cannot open doors, etc.)

At the end of Zargon's turn, the Werewolf transforms back into the Hero and returns to the player's control. The Hero figure replaces the Wolf tile.

The Hero must roll for this transformation each turn until he is cured by taking Sodo.

I further updated the Giant Ant Swarm Trap after play testing Quest 7. Hope everyone likes this new rule. I also updated a lot of the notes on previous posts.

Finished Quest 10...half way home.

Notes for Quest 10:
Artifact - Mapinguari Fur - This impenetrable skin is covered by a thick, soft fur. Wearing this coat allows the Hero to roll 4 Combat Dice in defense. (May not be combined with Bamboo Armor or Turtle Shell Armor.) May not be used by the Wizard.

Why can't a wizard wear the fur?
I get that you may wish to limit the wizards chances at rolling 4 Defend Dice, but a ban on fur is just too PETA for me. (also limiting the wizard on defend dice is harsh enough as it is)

[j_dean80]

It is too thick and heavy for the Wizard to wear. It came off a very large beast.

He could cut it down to size with his short sword.
Oh, wait...

just take it to a Mage/Tailor cost 800 Gold and a favor to craft it into a proper mages cloak or vest. Adds +3 Defend Dice.

oh and the favor...."There is a dungeon I know of hiding an item I desire...."

Takes it a little too far out of dungeon crawler to roleplaying for me. My goal is to build a Quest Pack along the lines of the existing HeroQuest Expansion Packs. I have 20 Quests lined up so also not needing to make it 21. haha
Thanks for all input though, I do appreciate it all whether I incorporate it or not.
