Ye Olde Inn 25th Anniversary HeroQuest quest pack

[TMU]

Come on now guys, cheer up We're all on the same boat here

I know Goblin-King referenced my constant moaning about my posts not being read, so he was humoristically serious in that comment.
I laughed quite a lot, with a tear in my eye.
Now, guys, if you ALL would be so kind and at least try to digest my ideas from 1 or 2 pages before, forfraggle'ssake!

[The Road Warrior]

How about this as a compromise on 0MP.

When a Hero's Mind Points are reduced to 0
Any Hero that loses all of his Mind points is reduced to a gibbering wreck and immediately defecates himself because "this dungeon is far too freakin' scary!". He may not move, attack, defend or carry out any other action until he is restored to at least 1 Mind point. His Mind points may be restored by any other Hero, who must spoon feed the coward an appropriate potion.

Any other effects, such as Morcar controlling the Hero, should be handled with spells. These kind of spells usually allow a Hero to roll a number of dice equal to his MP or require him to roll under his MP on 1d6, so it will be impossible for a Hero on 0MP to defend against these spells.

[knightkrawler]

I say "Yay!" ta thee.

[Sjeng]

All of that but movement with 1 die perhaps?

[knightkrawler]

Yes. It gives the heroes the chance to press on withough having to leave someone to defend the vegetable.

[Goblin-King]

I've been persuaded that mind control etc. should be through spells - Drain their minds first, then bombard them with spells. Sounds good to me!

I'd like a 0MP hero to at the very least keep the 1 movement die.
In fact I think the hero should keep 1A and 2Def as in the Elf-rules. The reason being that mind control isn't really very fun with a hero with zero stats.
The only thing I would change is the ability to use spells while in shock. Perhaps reduce defense to 1 as well...

Also while on the topic
I would very much like to see a completely new set of "evil" spells for whatever monster group we end up with.

[knightkrawler]

That's not gonna be a problem. Once we know what the monster theme will be somebody can come up with six spells for whatever spellcaster there'll be.
GimmeYerGold has a hand for this. Sotiris as well.

[Sjeng]

I've already made some Skaven and Fimir spells based on other's work into EU format cards. Feel free to use them

[Goblin-King]

That's definitely an option Sjeng, though personally I'd prefer to create a new original deck made specifically for this pack.
I feel the same way about the monsters - which is why chaos dwarfs and kobolds rank pretty high on my list.
