Growing your Hero
Learn how to increase your hero's abilities and characteristics.
after adventuring
After each adventure, your hero earns experience and Ur-gold. These can be used to upgrade skills, attributes, buy weapons, armour and items.
Experience…
After each battle heroes will earn xp as seen below:
Survived = 1xp
killed an enemy = 1xp
killed an enemy hero = 2xp
completed objective = 2xp
As you gain experience you will be able to increase certain characteristics OR learn new abilities.
For every 10xp you gain, you level up. When you level up, you may choose one of the characteristics below and increase that by 1 point.
Move
Wounds
Attacks (melee)
Attacks (missile)
To hit (melee)
To hit (missile)
(Please remember a roll of a 1 always fails)
For every 5 levels you can learn a new ability from the list below:
Decapitating Swing: If the unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a melee weapon is 6, that attack inflicts 1 mortal wound on the target in addition to any normal damage.
Fortress of Boughs: In your hero phase you can take the fortress of boughs stance. Meaning you cannot move, but add 1 to hit, wound and save rolls.
Martial Memories: Once per phase, you can re-roll 1 failed hit roll or 1 failed wound roll for an attack made by this unit, or 1 failed save roll for an attack that targets this unit, or 1 charge or run roll for this unit, or 1 battleshock test for this unit. You cannot use this ability to re-roll more than once dice for this unit in the same phase.
Quicksilver Shot: You can shoot twice in the shooting phase if you did not move in the movement phase.
Shield Mastery: If equipped with a shield, add 1 to your save roll and reduce the incoming rend by 1 to a minimum of 0.
