Magic

Only one of each spell that remains in play indefintely can be active at a time. If the same spell is cast for a second time it ends the first one.

Spells that remain in play and cover a certian amount of squares can't be placed on both sides of a door.

Shaman spells that call monsters from other areas conjure them instead when cast by an Adventurer and Shaman spells that apply to Orcs work on all of the casters followers when cast by an Adventurer, spells that apply to Goblins still only work on Goblins.

Dispel can be used to remove Transfix or Chill Touch (random if they have both) abilities if the target has no spells. Transfix or Chill Touch can also be Countered and Reflected.

If Escape is used to move to an empty room the casters gets stuck in solid rock and dies, if they move to an occupied unexplored square then they move one square at a time away from the chosen square until they find an empty one.

Quest Treasures
Orcs Bane: Works on any type of orc. Can attack either the same orc twice or two seperate orcs. Can attack, then move, then attack again.

Spirit Blade: Gives immunity to Transfix and Chill Touch.

Talisman Of Lore: Gives immunity to Transfix and Chill Touch.

Borins Armour: Light Armour. Includes a Helm but can be used with an ordinary Helmet instead.

Wand Of Recall: Can cast two seperate spells in the same turn. Can cast, then move, then cast again.

Talisman Spells (These are using the Talisman third edition spells with new rules.)
Acquisition: Allows the caster to cast a spell belonging to any Magician in sight or in the same room or corridor, including the caster, but the caster has to know for certain that the target possesses that spell. The target keeps the spell.

Alchemy: Gain 100GP if cast directly adjacent to the front side of an Alchemists Bench. Each character can only cast a specific Alchemy spell once on each bench.

Barrier: Place the lightning template so that at least one square that it covers is in the casters line of sight. The barrier blocks the line of sight of everyone accept the casters and blocks movement, missiles and spells accept spells from the caster. The barrier rules as a Wall Of Fire/Ice/Stone spell for being destroyed accept that it can only be destroyed my magic (including magic weapons).

Brainwave: Doubles the MP of the caster or any target in sight. The target looses 1MP at the start of each of their turns until it's no longer above their maximum.

Counterspell: Can be cast out of turn, countering an enemy spell if the caster can at least equal the target in a roll off, adding their magic levels. If they don't have a magic level then the spell is automatically countered. Can also be used in the casters own turn to counter a spell that remains in play using the same rules as above accept that the spell is automatically countered if the caster has died and it requires an action to cast, just as an ordinary spell.

Curse: Curses all enemies in the same room or corridor causing them attack and defend with one dice less until the end of the casters next turn.

Destroy Magic: Choose a spell of any enemy in sight to destroy. You can choose blind (guess).

Destruction: Destroys a Barrier or Wall Of Fire/Ice/Stone, or an item of furniture revealing any treasure it contains which can be picked up by moving to or over any square that it occupied, or a door (opens it and can't be closed again), or can be used on a wall to create an opening using a secret door tile and if it's an empty room then it just creates an alcove in the wall where the tile is.

Displacement: Makes any two targets in sight or the caster and any target in sight swap places.

Divination: Allows the target one reroll before the end of their next turn. The target chooses which dice and how many to reroll if they roll more than one dice at the same time.

Finger Of Death: Can be cast on any directly adjacent target causing them to loose D3 BP on a skull, 1BP on a white shield and D6 BP on a black shield. Doesn't work on Undead.

Fireball: Targets a square in sight of the caster and all others within three squares of it (diagonally counts as 1.5 squares) with a fire based A3 attack. Roll separately for each target.

Healing: Heals 3BP and 3MP of the caster or either 3BP or 3MP of any target in sight.

Immobility: Target misses a turn and can't even defend until the beginning of their next turn but they're freed if they're attacked. Magic Aura still works.

Invisibility: Same as the one in the Protection deck.

Lightning Bolt: Standard rules used for the Storm Master spell accept that it can attack on a diagonal line and it has a range of two squares plus two squares for every magic level of the caster and it rebounds off of solid objects back in the direction that it came from. The same rules apply to the Storm Master spell.

Mesmerism: Allows the caster to control one enemy in their line of sight if they can beat the target in a roll off, adding their current MPs. They become the casters follower and can be controlled by them immediately after the casters turns. Test again on each subsequent turn to see if they can break free.

Preservation: Can be cast out of turn when a target in sight or in the same room or corridor is reduced to zero BP or MP giving them back one BP or MP straight after the attack.

Psionic Blast: Drains 1MP of a target in sight which can be used to heal the casters.

Random: Cast on a target in sight and roll a dice. 1: Target is forced to give the caster a random spell if they have one and if they don't nothing happens. 2: Target automatically falls asleep as described in the Sleep spell. 3: Target is automatically Transfixed. 4: Target is automatically Mesmerised. 5: The targets current and maximum BP and MP are switched over and switched over again when the caster dies or at the end of the Adventure if the caster doesn't die. 6: All five, starting with 5 and working backwards one step at the start of the targets turn for as long as the caster is alive.

Reflection: Cast out of turn rebounding the effects of an enemy spell back against the original caster if they can beat the target in a roll off, adding their magic levels. If the target has no magic level the spell is automatically reflected.

Syphon: Drains 1BP of a target in sight which can be used to heal the casters.

Teleport: The caster can teleport to any explored and empty square on the board.

Temporal Warp: Global spell that allows every ally to either have an extra attacking action or extra standard movement and every enemy has to give up either their attacking action or their movement until the start of the casters next turn. The caster can't perform any other action on the turn that this spell is cast.

Water Walking: Fully restores the BP and MP of the caster or a target in sight if either the caster (even if casting on someone else) or the target drinks Holy Water in the same round, or can literally walk on water for the turn if the need arises.

I've been blasting through this for the last few hours. I seem to be under the influence of a strong creativity spell today. I haven't got time to post a full update and there's a couple of things I want finish off before I do but I just had to show these. I've just done them and I'm really pleased with how they turned out, I think they're my favourite group now. I'm now at the point where I'd like feedback on whether the new characters are balanced, bearing in mind that they're supposed to be balance with the original characters as well as each other.

I can't tell if the recent 4 heroes are balanced against originals because you seem to have some new rules, S (speed?), veteran abilities (per Imperial Academy I guess?).

So much info in this thread it is hard to distil it all.

What did you end up using the components for in your recent post? Can heroes collect the components to cast spells without a spell card?

[Gold Bearer]

I can't tell if the recent 4 heroes are balanced against originals because you seem to have some new rules

There's not actually many new rules, it's deceptively simple. The new armour just limits movement and is included in the stats. For attacking / means it can attack diagonally, - can be thrown, = can be thrown with less chance of breaking, ^ is ranged and ~ is for a special rule, which is explained in their description.

S (speed?)

Yes, S is speed. If there's a value in brackets then they're slowed by their armour and the bracket value is what they would move without any equipment. Here's the conversion for random movement. Move 2 = roll 2 dice and use the lowest, move 4 = roll 1 dice, move 6 = roll 2 dice and use the highest, move 8 = roll 2 dice, move 10 = roll 3 dice and ignore the lowest, move 12 = roll three dice, 14 = roll four dice and ignore the lowest, 16 = roll four dice.

veteran abilities (per Imperial Academy I guess?).

Veteran, Master and Legend are simply a progression that I've left open for the players to decide how to use. I've tried to keep things open but tight at the same time so there's no loose ends but it's not needlessly restrictive. The simplest way of doing using the official quests as an example would be to become veterans after the base quests, masters after Kellers Keep and Return Of The Witch Lord and legends after Against The Ogre Horde and Wizards Of Morcar. Another would be to have training halls in between quests and make them have to pay to progress. They could gain experience simply by the number of quests completed or make it more involved (number of kills/BP damage caused/BP healed/number of spells cast/etc).

So much info in this thread it is hard to distil it all.

I think that might be putting people off. I could split it up again but I don't want to take over the forum with loads of topics. There's a lot of new content but I've tried to keep it simple, increased depth without increased complexity was the idea. I think it's worked. Obviously the complexity has to increase a bit with new content. I've changed the layout of the characters slightly which should make it a bit more readable but it will be when I've finished them all and done proper cards for them if I can figure out how that they'll really look good. That's a lot of pictures to find though.

What did you end up using the components for in your recent post? Can heroes collect the components to cast spells without a spell card?

The components are just for the Sorcerer and the four Battle Sorcerers. They'll be available in magic shops. The Sorcerer is the wizard from AHQ so it seemed appropriate. I thought about making them available for all magicians because the Sorcerer would still be a component specialist but I think limiting the new stuff makes the characters more distinct from each other and gives them more flavour. And yes, they let them cast spells without a spell card.

[Daedalus]

I'd say the new Heroes seem balanced with the others, but add I only casually reviewed the original lot.

Valkyrie: A2/ D3 S6(8) B6 M4
Race: Human. Class: Valkyrie. Equipment: Short Sword, Banded Mail, Buckler, Helm.
Special Rules: Can reroll black shields once when defending.
Veteran: Can reroll black shields once when attacking.
Master: Can reroll white shields once when attacking.
Legend: Can reroll black and white shields when attacking + a second reroll on black shields once when attacking.

Not sure if I'm getting this. Are the Veteran, Master, and Legend abilities cumulative or seperate? Seems to be cumulative.

Shield Maiden: A3 D3 S8 B5 M5
Race: Human. Class: Shield Maiden. Equipment: Broad Sword, Shield.
Special Rules: Defends with an extra dice when using any type of shield.
Veteran: Can reroll black shields once when defending when using any type of shield.
Master: Defends with black shields as well as white when using any type of shield.
Legend: Can reroll skulls once when defending when using any type of shield.

Same question: are the abilities cumulative? My concern are how powerful Heroes become. Have you planned any house rules for the Evil Wizard player and/or his forces to counter the power shift? If not, I'd say just go with the special rule for each Hero, dropping the Veteran, Master, and Legend abilities. I realize you probably don't want to cut out all that depth, so what I really am suggesting is some extra beef to balance the Evil Wizard player's side. Otherwise, I'd say delay the extra abilities until even later. Perhaps award Veteran abilities after Return of the Witch Lord, Master abilities after Wizards of Morcar or The Mage of the Mirror, and Legend abilities after the The Frozen Horror or The Dark Company.

Enchantress: A1/ D2 S8 B4 M6 L0M
Race: Human. Class: Enchantress. Equipment: Dagger.
Special Rules: Magic Aura means you defend with two dice as standard. Can use the same equipment as the Wizard. Can attept to Transfix or Chill Touch by rolling a combat dice, on a skull you succeed, on a white shield you fail but don't loose an action, on a black shield you fail and loose your attacking action.
Veteran: Can Transfix and Chill Touch.
Master: One Mesmerism spell + you only need to equal the targets score when you initially cast Mesmerism.
Legend: L1M + two more Mesmerism spells + you only need to equal the targets score when testing for Mesmerism.

Is attempting to Transfix and Chill Touch considered an action when rolling a skull or black shield? It appears so.

[Gold Bearer]

I'd say the new Heroes seem balanced with the others, but add I only casually reviewed the original lot.

That's okay. There's quite a lot of them. They're all designed to hopefully be balanced with the original four as well, although I did give the Wizard a bit of an upgrade. He needed it.

Valkyrie: A2/ D3 S6(8) B6 M4
Race: Human. Class: Valkyrie. Equipment: Short Sword, Banded Mail, Buckler, Helm.
Special Rules: Can reroll black shields once when defending.
Veteran: Can reroll black shields once when attacking.
Master: Can reroll white shields once when attacking.
Legend: Can reroll black and white shields when attacking + a second reroll on black shields once when attacking.

Not sure if I'm getting this. Are the Veteran, Master, and Legend abilities cumulative or seperate? Seems to be cumulative.

Yes, they're cumulative.

Shield Maiden: A3 D3 S8 B5 M5
Race: Human. Class: Shield Maiden. Equipment: Broad Sword, Shield.
Special Rules: Defends with an extra dice when using any type of shield.
Veteran: Can reroll black shields once when defending when using any type of shield.
Master: Defends with black shields as well as white when using any type of shield.
Legend: Can reroll skulls once when defending when using any type of shield.

Perhaps award Veteran abilities after Return of the Witch Lord, Master abilities after Wizards of Morcar or The Mage of the Mirror, and Legend abilities after the The Frozen Horror or The Dark Company.

It can be done however the players like. That was just an example. I want to leave stuff like that open because it depends on how hard the quests that are being used are. One thing I'm going to suggest in the rules section is that Orcs and Zombies have 2BP, Fimirs and Mummies 3BP, Chaos Warriors 4BP, and Gargoyles 5BP. You could start introducing champions and other elites of the monsters. Another way of making the standard quests harder would be to roll a standard and a combat dice for each type of monster in a room. Skull = D3 extra monsters of that type, white shield = no extra monsters, and black shield = D6 extra. Could be interesting.

Enchantress: A1/ D2 S8 B4 M6 L0M
Race: Human. Class: Enchantress. Equipment: Dagger.
Special Rules: Magic Aura means you defend with two dice as standard. Can use the same equipment as the Wizard. Can attept to Transfix or Chill Touch by rolling a combat dice, on a skull you succeed, on a white shield you fail but don't loose an action, on a black shield you fail and loose your attacking action.
Veteran: Can Transfix and Chill Touch.
Master: One Mesmerism spell + you only need to equal the targets score when you initially cast Mesmerism.
Legend: L1M + two more Mesmerism spells + you only need to equal the targets score when testing for Mesmerism.

Is attempting to Transfix and Chill Touch considered an action when rolling a skull or black shield? It appears so.

Yep.


Thanks for the interest. I've been inspired to work on another project. That happens sometimes. It's nearly done so I'll get back to this and finish off those characters soon. They'll be a lot more readable once they're in proper card format, if I can work out how to do it and find enough pictures.

[Gold Bearer]

I've neatened up my main sixteen heroes using the format that Road Warrior used for the wardancer in the PBP melee tournament. They look sooo much better. I've reworded the rules as well to make them clearer. Any comments or suggestions about mistakes, balancing or wording etc are very welcome.
