I just edited my post on page 3 because I noticed I was wronng about characters balance:
viewtopic.php?f=143&t=5570&start=20#p108644The four Heroes are perfectly paired: Barbarian=Dwarf and Elf=Wizard. Barbarian and Dwarf are exactly the same, having bonuses against two of the threats; Elf and Wizard are the same, both have a bonus against only one of the threats but they can heal (themselves) easily. Maybe the Barbarian is still a little bit stronger than Dwarf because the Chaos Spell "Cloud of Chaos" add a malus against the Chaos Warriors, but considering the barbarian already has a bonus against them by default....
Some more things I would like to say about the game mechanics:
The Hero's card sometimes confuse me, it shows dice next to the threats, they're showing the number of skulls you need to roll to defeat that threats, but sometimes it let me think they are the number of dice I can roll against it.
For example, Barbarian's card shows 1 skulll for the Chaos Warrior. It may seem I need to roll one die against the CW! Instead I still roll 2 dice against it but only one skull is required to defeat the CW (on a roll of two dice).
Cards featuring the Chaos Spells are not clear, do their effects apply only during the turn you're playng them OR is their effect permanent until you heal from them in some way?
Same doubt I have with the Broadsword (the ONLY additional weapon in the deck): can I roll one extra dice in attack only for one turn OR can I still take advantage of its bonus on further turns too? That's not clear at all for me.
RUST: you must discard one card from your hand, so basically you play this card and discard the second one you own, no choice unless you are playing the spell on another Hero and not on yourself. I don't even see a relation beetween rust and receiving a bonus (discard a card without playing it).
Also this is a game of pure lucky and less strategy; depending by numbers of players you will play with a partial deck only. So it can happen you play a game with all the bonus cards in the deck and no chaos spells at all. Or the opposite!
. Any takers?
