Between tedium and fright
Such is the song of the nether world
The hissing of rats
And the jarring chants of angels

Cloth or wool (or even silk) is fine, just don't put on your leathers. ¬_¬

Re: Advanced Hero Quest: Quest I: The Halfling Cook
It's very good. I thought I'd introduce the rule, or a softer version of it at least. The leader and myself will each roll a D12 each time monsters are discovered to see who surprises who, and goes first.
I'm thinking you're all a bunch of savvy adventurers, so will give you +1 on your roll anyway. The elf will give you another +1 if you choose to include one.
There will be the odd battle where monsters get the drop on you though...
Re: Advanced Hero Quest: Quest I: The Halfling Cook
I guess it depends how high your starting BS is. If it's very high, you can get away with some light armour.Stormbringer wrote: ↑Fri Aug 24, 2018 11:34 amYes, don't wear armour.

Re: Advanced Hero Quest: Quest I: The Halfling Cook
Nice.
Sly, I take it you followed the Elf-specific rules for creating the character? Like D6+4 for WS, D6+5 for BS, etc?
In which case, just add 2,2,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10 to your H2H combat section, and 3,4,5,6,7 to your Ranged Combat.
Your Longbow range is 48, with 4 damage dice. Fumble 1, Critical 12. Your sword is the same, 4, 1, 12, apart from no range....

I've only spent 100g of the 70g I rolled and 77g I inherited (147 total), not sure what to spend the rest on. Do I get the chance to invest in any of those lighter armours Doug mentioned?

Re: Advanced Hero Quest: Quest I: The Halfling Cook
Doug I've noticed you've gone for a crossbow instead of a longbow. The crossbow needs a whole turn to reload, I'm wondering why you chose that instead of a long bow? Is it just because it's 10 cheaper?
You'll be able to afford the long bow before we embark on the quest. ¬_¬

No it's because I like crossbows more than longbows. ¬_¬

Re: Advanced Hero Quest: Quest I: The Halfling Cook
I'm going to save my gold for now and wait to see what surprises are in store tomorrow.

Tichinde, before you go any further, I should warn you that Dwarves are not as capable as humans or elves when it comes to wizardry.Tichinde wrote: ↑Wed Aug 22, 2018 3:14 pmYes, Lore of Death! Which is far less Deathy than I had thought it might be
Was going to spend my gold willy-nilly on rope, spikes and daggers, but I realise I need spell reagents.
Which means I want...
1 extra Amethyst Dust (Burn all the things)
1 extra Corundum Globe (Heal all the things I may 'accidentally' burn)
and the 10 iron spikes (which I assume are for closing doors behind us)
Spending all of my 60 gold (I'm assuming all spell reagents are 25 gold as per page 4 of the thread?)
Spells:Spoiler
They can only know 2 spells to begin with, and learning new spells between expeditions costs twice as much!
Plus, each time you attempt to cast a spell which requires no intelligence test, you will still need to pass an intelligence test otherwise the spell fails and the component is wasted. For spells that do require an INT test, you will need to pass 2 tests.
