Heroquest advanced rules pt1- Equipment



Equipment List

We updated the equipment list, revising weapons to add bonuses to players' original combat dice rather than having their own base values so that the proportion was maintained. The availability of items ties in with the locations list. We also use an 'arcane' category to denote wizard-only items to balance their inability to wear normal armour etc.

Types: Armour, Weapon, Item;                
                                                Basic- available at all settlements where trading is permitted
Exotic- Available where specified
Unique- Only ever one, available where Exotic items are specified 
Arcane- Wizard only
Enchanted- Roll 1CD when you take on an enchanted item:
                Skull- Lose 1 Spirit Point, Black Shield- Cursed!
                                                                Wizards may only use Arcane Weapons and Armour
