Life 5; Move 5; Range 6; Attack 3; Defense 4
100 Points (5/6/4/6)
BEAT DOWN: Up to twice while moving, as long as [NAME] is on a space where s/he could end her/his movement, choose an opponent's adjacent small or medium figure and roll the d20. If you roll an 11 or higher, move the chosen figure one space. Figures do not receive leaving engagement attacks for this move. If you roll a 17 or higher, the chosen figure receives one unblockable wound before moving.


SURVIVOR RULES

Campaign Chapters: There are 2-5 chapters to each campaign, each with a unique map. The end of the last chapter is the Finale Event where survivors are saved by escaping in a Rescue Vehicle.

Safe Rooms: All 4 survivors start in one Safe Room and must make it to the next to advance to the next chapter. Each survivor starts the game with a health kit and his/her choice of the 4 random T1 Weapons and/or melee weapons in the Safe Room. Each Safe Room after the first has 4 health kits. Also, the Safe Rooms at the ends of chapters 1 and 2 have 4 random T1 Weapons and/or melee weapons. The Safe Rooms at the end of chapters 3 and 4 and at the Finale Event have 4 random T2 Weapons.

Collective Turn: Use only 1 set of order markers for all 4 survivors. When revealing an Order Marker for the survivors, all 4 may take a turn, in any order they choose.

Item Pool: The item pool should consist of the following amount of each item
• 4 Second Pistol - 1
• 2 Magnum - 2
• 4 Pump/Chrome Shotgun - 3
• 4 Uzi/Silenced Uzi - 4
• 2 Auto Shotgun/Combat Shotgun - 5
• 2 M16/AK-47 - 6
• 1 Combat Rifle - 7
• 2 Hunting Rifle/Sniper Rifle - 8
• 1 Grenade Launcher - 9
• 1 Portable HMG
• 2 Explosive Ammo - 10
• 2 Incendiary Ammo - 11
• 2 Axe/Crowbar - 12
• 2 Baseball Bat/Cricket Bat
• 3 Electric Guitar/Frying Pan/Nightstick
• 2 Katana/Machete
• 1 Chainsaw - 13
• 4 Bile Bomb - 14
• 4 Molotov Cocktail - 15
• 4 Pipe Bomb - 16
• 2 Defibrillator - 17
• 8 Health Kit (survivors begin with 4) - 18
• 4 Adrenaline Shot - 19
• 4 Pain Pills - 20
for a total of 67 items (8 of which the survivors start with).

Item Pickup: If a survivor ends its move on or adjacent to an item, it may pick that item up. A survivor may only carry one each of the following: weapon, secondary weapon, explosive, health kit, or pills. If a survivor already has a weapon, s/he may swap it with a newly picked up weapon. Another survivor may then pick up the old weapon.

Incapacitated: When a survivor who is not already incapacitated receives enough wounds to be destroyed, instead remove all Wound Markers from its Army Card, place an Incapped Marker on its Army Card, and lay that survivor's figure on its side. While on its side, a survivor may not move, use any items except secondary weapons, or have any items used on or given to it. Additionally, place a Wound Marker on the Army Card of each survivor whose figure is laying down at the end of each round. Another adjacent survivor may give up its turn to stand an incapacitated survivor's figure back up with enough Wound Markers on its Army Card to leave it with 2 Life. If a survivor ever has three Incapped Markers on its Army Card, it is immediately destroyed. When a survivor is destroyed, remove all markers of any kind from the destroyed survivor's army card, and place all its items on the space on which it was destroyed.

Hero Closet: When a survivor is destroyed, spawn that survivor in a random Hero Closet at the end of the round with 2 wound markers on its Army Card. Survivors in Hero Closets may not take turns and do not count as being in play during infected turns. Another adjacent survivor may give up its attack to rescue the survivor in the Hero Closet. That survivor is no longer in the Hero Closet, may take turns, and is now considered in play normally.

INFECTED RULES

Collective Turn: Use only 1 set of order markers for all Undead. When revealing an Order Marker for the Infected, each Undead may take a turn, in any order they choose. No infected of any kind take falling damage of any kind.

The Horde: Use the Zombies of Morindan card for regular infected. Uncommon Infected are treated as Common Squad figures for all Left 4 Scape rules.

Uncommon Infected:
• Hazmat Suit Infected are not affected by Gas Cans, Fireworks, Molotov Cocktails, or Incendiary Ammo.
• When a Clown Infected spawns, spawn 3 additional Zombies of Morindan.
• Worker Infected are not affected by Propane Tanks, Oxygen Tanks, Pipe Bombs, or Explosive Ammo.
• When a Fallen Survivor is destroyed, immediately place 2 random items on the space on which it was destroyed.

Horde Mentality: When moving Zombies of Morindan, they must move toward the nearest survivor and attack them if possible.

Spawning Zombies: At the end of each round, roll the d20 and add the Difficulty Modifier* to see how many new zombies spawn.
• 1-8: 2 Zombie
• 9-15: 3 Zombies
• 16-19: 4 Zombies
• 20: 3 Zombies plus an Uncommon Common.

Spawning Uncommon: You may place Uncommon Infected according to scenario rules, or use the following table if not playing a specific scenario.
• 1-4: Clown
• 5-8: Hazmat
• 9-12: Mud
• 13-16: Riot
• 17-19: Worker
• 20: Fallen Survivor

Spawning Specials: At the end of each round, roll the d20 to see which special infected spawns. You may add the Difficulty Modifier to your roll.

• 4-6: Smoker
• 7-9: Charger
• 10-12: Jockey
• 13-15: Spitter
• 16-18: Hunter
• 19-20: Tank; or if a Tank has already spawned, Hunter

Witch Spawning: At the end of each round of each chapter except 1 and 5, roll the d20 and add the Difficulty Modifier to see if the Witch spawns. If you roll a 15 or higher, place the Witch on a random Witch Location between the survivors and the Safe Room. If the Witch is a Wandering Witch, subtract 3 from her Move and she may not attack until disturbed. If the Witch is not a Wandering Witch, she may not move or attack until disturbed. When a survivor ends its movement adjacent to a Witch or attacks a Witch or a figure adjacent to a Witch, she is disturbed. Once a Witch is disturbed, she can only attack the figure that disturbed her until either she is destroyed or that figure is destroyed.

Burning: After a Special Infected is affected by a Molotov, Gas Can, Fireworks, or Incendiary Ammo place a Burn Marker on the affected figure's card. After each of that figure's turns, place a wound marker on its Army Card. If the affected figure moves onto a water space, remove the Burn Marker. If the figure was affected by Incendiary Ammo, remove the Burn Marker at the end of the round.


GAME RULES

*Difficulty Level: Suvivors may choose to play one of four difficulties: easy, normal, advanced, or expert. Add the Difficulty Modifier to the Witch and Tank's Life.

Easy Difficulty: The easy Difficulty Modifier is 0. At the start of each round, spawn four random items at the next Item Location between the start and the Safe Room. Place 3 squads of Zombies at the start of each easy chapter.

Normal Difficulty: The normal Difficulty Modifier is 1. At the start of each round, spawn three random items at the next Item Location between the start and the Safe Room. Place 4 squads of zombies at the start of each normal chapter.

Advanced Difficulty: The advanced Difficulty Modifier is 2. At the start of each round, spawn two random items at the next Item Location between the start and the Safe Room. Place 5 squads of zombies at the start of each advanced chapter. The first time a Witch inflicts a wound on a survivor during Advanced Difficulty, automatically incapacitate the survivor.

Expert Difficulty: The expert Difficulty Modifier is 3. At the start of each round, spawn one random item at the next Item Location between the start and the Safe Room. Place 6 squads of Zombies at the start of each expert chapter. The first time a Tank inflicts a wound on a survivor during Expert Difficulty, automatically incapacitate the survivor. The first time a Witch inflicts a wound on a survivor during Expert Difficulty, automatically destroy the survivor as if it had 3 Incapped Markers on its Army Card.

Crescendo Events: At the end of a round, if a survivor is on a Crescendo Trigger, start a Crescendo Event. Immediately place 3 zombies plus zombies equal to the difficulty modifier when the event is triggered and at the end of each round during the event instead of Spawning Zombies. At the end of round 3, after placing zombies the Crescendo Event is over, the obstacle is removed, and play returns to normal.

Finale Events: Once the survivors have started a Finale Event, instead of Spawning Zombies automatically place 3 new zombies plus zombies equal to the Difficulty Modifier at the end of each round. In addition, automatically place a Tank at the end of round 2, then again at the end of the second round after that Tank is destroyed. Continue spawning Tanks this way, the first when the rescue vehicle arrives then the end of each round after a Tank is destroyed, until the survivors have been destroyed or escaped.

Rescue Vehicles: Once the survivors have started a Finale Event, play continues until the rescue vehicle arrives. After the second Tank has been destroyed, the rescue vehicle arrives at the end of the next round. Once all non-incapped survivors are on the rescue vehicle, those survivors escape.

I've only played once (with DeceitulBeauty; on a No Mercy 1 map) and I only have 6 squads of zombies and I don't remember running out (though we were playing on Normal, I think).

I've made cards for the weapons, explosives, and health items, too, but I'll upload them later (they're not as important, I haven't made glyphs yet, and I want to finish the other items such as Gas Cans first).

Updated the rules slightly (nothing big) and added the melee weapons, new infected, and other updates from L4D2. No new cards yet, and the ones that are there will have slight updates eventually as well.

Holy crap!!! To make all of these rules must of taken many hours. They look pretty sweet. I guess you beat me to the punch. I'm making a left 4 dead campaign right now with what I thought was a lot of special rules but this takes the cake. Plus it looks like we had the same idea on a few things. I think my version is going to be a dumbed down one compared to this. Nice work.
