Heroes of 'Scape (RPG)

I haven't had time to print out the latest version, but on my sheet it says Deadly Strike costs 1 point.

My other group of adventurers recently had a multi-path (Though played on one map) epic quest where they must defeat a hypnotist vampire and possibly some or all of his minions*. These minions included monstrous generals (Albeit wimpy ones) who in turn commanded some harqs and yari. Enemies of the adventurers resurrected the hypnotist vampire, but his minions are dead (Thanks to the Hero path I chose). The villagers (Harqs/Yari) block the path out of his Obsidian Ruins so he cannot return to power. The evil adventuring group has been hired to slaughter the village and a few of their allies so the vampire can begin gathering another army.

Evil enough?

*The heroes could try to defeat a powerful group of their old foes (The machinists) on a hill right in front of the fortress door, or go around and sneak in, having to fight two armies worth of vampire minions on the way. I choose the second option.

You must have a really old version, because its been 2 points for a while now. Probably since the Misfit Fantasy Update at least.

[Kaiyu]

I'm remodeling the Soulborgs for the next update. Now, instead of just picking the Soulborg Class, you can choose to start as either a Hunter/Scout or Guard. From there, if you're a Scout (Omnicron) you can stay a Scout or become a Sniper, if you're a Hunter (Deathreaver) you can upgrade to a Deathwalker, and if you're a Hunter (Gladiatron) you can upgrade to Major. Deathwalker and Major Class start out with a Range of 1, unless you buy the skill that alters your Hero for Ranged combat. If you start as a Guard (Zettian) you can choose to become a Warden or change to a Deathwalker. If you start as a Guard (Blastatron) you can choose to become a Major. If you start as a Guard, you are forced to buy (for free?) the upgrade for Ranged combat, so when you become a Deathwalker/Major, you don't have a choice about being ranged or not.

The reason why I tell you all this is because I have a question: Would anyone be disappointed if the Deathwalker class did not provide summoning/summoned support powers? My idea is that the Warden will cover this task and Deathwalker will be raw power, however, Deathwalker 9000 has Guard Range Enhancement. Would you rather see Deathwalker keep the ability to summon Zettian Guards (or more) and the ability to enhance their range, would you rather see all of those types of abilities moved to the Warden, or would you rather have that option for both? If both are able to use those types of powers, there will be hardly any difference between the two Classes except that by Level 4, Warden will have 3 lives and 7 Defense, while Deathwalker will have 1 Life and 9 Defense.

[Chardris]

What I would like and what you want to do seems to be the same. Have the "support" class just for warden and a "battle" class for deathwalkers.

[Viegon]

Yah, I agree with Chardris, I like the idea of the Deathwalker class being more just good stats and blowing people up, while the Warden class is more toned down and uses squads to do most of the fighting while he's boosting them.

Also, I've got a few more corrections/suggestions:

Spoiler Alert!

1) In the wizard's powers, Pegasus Mount says: Move=2.
2) Is the Viper Warrior not supossed to have the optian of getting frenzy?
3) The Wizard Apprentice ability seems kind of useless to me (I mean, it's Kyntela Gwyn, she's not even that good if your an elf), maybe you could change it say that you can level it up to get you someone else, like Arkmer.
4) Another ability you could give the divine wizard is a 20-sided die boost, and you could also give the lighting wizard an anti soulborg ability and the druid the ability to make entangled markers better (I don't know how well this would work).
5) When you make a character, can you choose any faction or personality you want, or is there supposed to be a set faction/personality for each species and class.

Anyways, I think updating the soulborgs will be good, they didn't seem to have too much to them before.

[DeathByUtgar]

Been a while since I've been in these parts, but I agree with what they say; the Deathwalker should be the raw power; like a fighter, and the Warden be the support; like a warlord.

[Kaiyu]

Thanks for the input everyone. Sounds like you're all on the same wavelength as I am. I just wanted to make sure there isn't anyone who has Zettian Guards and Range Enhancement in mind when they think Deathwalker.

Hello, i just wanted to post the report for the first game of Heroes of 'Scape i did saturday december 5th.By the way its a great mod for heroscape.

Spoiler Alert!

Sneaky assault of the Marros

Heroes:
Human ninja with vanishing ninja 1
black wyrmling with fledgling acid spray SA 1
Elf archer with quick draw 1
Mariedian Guerrila with EMP grenade SA 1

Enemies army 1
Marro Stinger x2
Nagrud Marrden x2
Marro Warrior x1

Enemies army 2
Marro Hive x1
Ne-Gok-Sa x1
Marro Drones x2

total 490 xp (+revives)

Unfortunately, I didnt take photos of map but there was the marros in the swamp at one end, the big ruin at the junctoin between the swampland and the grass, a small outpost then a castle wall and finally a small area, the Spawn zone of the heroes. there was a tower at each end of the castle wall and a small riverin front of it. 2 glyphs, chosen at random, were placed, one between the outpost and the swampland and one on the ground of the outpost. The hive was on the glyphs of crevor, astrid and Ulaniva, thus giving all the marros attack +2.

The dragon and the ninja died pretty quickly (maybe it wasnt a good idea to give the marros that bonus attack). The guerrilla killed most of the marros. I revived the 2 dead at round 7, 5 rounds before the end. They killed every marro, with a little of my help.

Ending:
Elf and Guerrilla with 188 xp each
Wyrmling and Ninja with 108 xp each
150 gold and 2 items dropped: Elixir of Clear Sight and Defense Talisman.
Unfortunately the players had to leave early and thus they didn't choose what they were going to do with their skill point.

Next scenario: The village is under attack

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you like it.

I would have to agree with you that giving the Marro a +2 Attack Glyph was the source of any trouble, but its a good thing you got creative and tried to fix the situation. I usually just let the players die

I should probably let you know that there is a typo in Quick Draw 1. Its says "for each skull rolled," but its supposed to say "for each excess shield rolled," i.e., a ranged Counterstrike.

[SgtHulka]

I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus here and say this is both great and front-page worthy, Kaiyu. Out of curiosity I made some characters yesterday and was completely blown away by the amount of creativity and work you've put into this whithout fundamentally altering the fealing that it is still Heroscape.

My only disappointment: you haven't made Kyrie yet! I'm stoked you're adding Soulborgs, but when will we see the flying warriors?

Thank you SgtHulka, its kind words like that that keep me motivated to continue my work here. And its very reassuring that I'm holding onto the feel of Heroscape, because that has been my underlying goal since the day I started. Its been no easy task, I assure you.

TODAY!!! The final update, which will include the addition of Kyrie and Marro was scheduled to launch today, actually. Just give me a few hours to put on the finishing touches and the war can finally be brought to Valhalla.
