Necromancer spells:

Corpse explosion: This spell enables the necromancer to use any corpse as a weapon. All the squares adjacent to the corpse recieve two body points damage. The victim may roll 2 defence dice, for each shield the damage is reduced by one.
Curse: This spell enables the necromancer to curse any one monster, that monster will then roll 2 less defence dice for the next two turns. Unless the monster can roll a 5 or a 6 using one red die.
Leech life: This spell enables the necromancer to heal from damage the golem inflicts on monsters. The spell is broken when the golem can no longer see a monster.

I also include this battle mage character in my games, I did not make this character card. I just really like the balance and could not create a better battle-mage myself

[cynthialee]

The only one I would take exception to is the Knights restriction on no heavy weapons. (oh and the cleric getting a short sword...should be a mace or hammer)
Other than that these look like some cool characters.

[Dougy Destroyer]

Thanks Cynthialee for your feedback, I appreciate it.
I did not give the knight the ability to use the battle axe because he would be using 5 combat dice the first time he attacks each monster and he would be to powerful.
I could use maces and hammers for the cleric and give them the same combat dice values but it would be too much work.

[cynthialee]

5 dice attacks are rather stout, but it isn't going to happen until the dude gets enough gold to buy equipment upgrades.

[Dougy Destroyer]

If the knight gets Borins armor and the spirit blade artifacts he will arguably be the most powerful character already. Especially considering his movement advantage.

Necromancer spells:
Corpse explosion: This spell enables the necromancer to use any corpse as a weapon. All the squares adjacent to the corpse recieve two body points damage. The victim may roll 2 defence dice, for each shield the damage is reduced by one.

How do you determine where a corpse is found? Do you use body markers for kills? Also, this spell almost certainly kills all adjacent, regular monsters with 1 Body Point and probably kills adjacent, regular monsters with 2 Body Points. That's quite powerful. It might be more interesting to limit this spell to 1 Body Point of damage rather than 2.

My cat also joins in most of the time so I made her up a monster card.

haha I love this, our cat also does this when we play, she's called Midnight, but we normally call her Mischief.

[Dougy Destroyer]

Hey Deadalus, sorry for the late reply. Body markers are a good idea. I honestly had not thought that far ahead haha. I had intended it as a combo attack, for example: The barb attacks and kills an orc then moves away. The necro could then use corpse explosion if there were extra monsters around the dead orc. You could reduce the damage or make the spell do friendly damage as well. So you have to strategize more, and don't damage your friends. Up to you mate.
