I'll have to post my charecter next week when I get back from my trip though. Until then, you've done a smashing job as usual Sandy.

Hopefully there won't be so many knights that my services won't be required.

- If an enemy falls into more than one type, how are conflicting or aiding elements determined? For example, an enemy is both flying and mechanic, and is attacked by a wind element (sapphire). How is damage determined then?
- For Clerics and Mages, is the option to heal/cast decided before the dice roll or after it? Also, if shield is not rolled, then ether is depleted if they choose to heal/cast, even if the heal/spell fails, correct?
- Consumable items can be used on anyone in battle, right?
- Do bombs affect their own elements? For example, would a lightning bomb affect a lightning creature?
- If one chose to be a knight, would they be able to choose both a shield and a sword?
- And, most importantly, what is the adventure aspect of the game? If this is coming in due time I apologize.
Looking forward to playing this.

AND QUESTION TIME: Not related to the game mechanics, but just for you, my fellow story lover Sandy. How fleshed out are the houses of Nobles? Do you know all their names? Does the over-all story have a, well, direction, yet?

Like the rules state, you post the character details to your signature, and then introduce yourself in the Heroica Hall topic.

I'm honoured that you think this game is worth spreading around. Of course you can do all those things, if you remember to credit me and Eurobricks.

It's alright, except that you also get a Potion, and the Topaz is an elemental gem, so you don't need to list it twice.

Thanks!
Any type of introduction is fine. If you're not one for fancy stories, you can just say "hi" to the people gathered there. Of course I'd appreciate if you used more words than one, though.

Of course you are, as long as they're LEGO weapons and fit with the setting. A pole-axe would belong to the axe category.

1. In your example, the two types cancel each other out, so a Flying Mechanic type enemy would take normal damage from wind spells. If the enemy was a Flying Vermin type, though, the wind spell would cause quadruple damage against that enemy, since both those types are weak to the element.
2. Like it says in the rules, the players choose their actions before the die is rolled. Healing and casting are also affected by the die roll just like attacks are. Ether is only depleted upon successful casting and healing.
3. Yes, when you use an item you also choose who to use it on (yourself, any ally, or an enemy).
4. Bombs are like elemental spells, so they follow the same rules of weakness and immunity as the spells do. Thus a Lightning Bomb will not have any effect on Electric-type enemies.
5. Yes, all classes start out with one weapon with the power of 3, one potion, and one class-specific item. For knights, the last one is a shield with the power of 2.
6. The adventure part are the quests. Not all quests take place inside Eubric, they can take place anywhere in the fictional world.

Of course all the six noble families have names (and symbols and all), and of course there's a main plotline that will unravel due time. It's me you're talking about here, after all!
Thank you for all of your questions! And don't hesitate to ask more if you're unsure about something.

NOTE: Brickdoctor, K-nut, Fred Fred Burger, CorneliusMurdock and all future players, take note that everybody starts out with one Potion in their inventory as well, regardless of chosen job class.

Yes. You start with 5 Ether on level 1, and with 5 level-ups, you now have 10 Ether. The same goes for Nyx.

The classes are rough guides to characters, right? I am looking at creating a warrior-priest, and the best class fit is Barbarian. However the classic image of a Barbarian, and fostered by the job class information, is big lunk with a loincloth who doesn't say much. I want this character to be civilised without being a Knight class as already there are a few of those signed up.
Also I am puzzled as to why the Cleric base health is higher than the Barbarian - 9 versus 8. I would have thought that the two Fighter classes (Knight and Barbarian) would be the two with the most health.

Of course you do not need to go with the stereotypical description of the job classes. If you want, you can have your Gentleman Barbarian to play as, it'll only make your character that much interesting.
And, if you reach Level 15 in the game, the advanced class options open up to you. Each advanced class is a mix of two basic job classes, although you are restricted to choosing from those that derive from your initial basic job class. So you can be a barbarian-cleric or a barbarian-knight in just 14 level-ups.

"So, what's your story, darling?" asked a scruff voice suddenly. Ellaria looked up to see the matron of the saloon, a homely female orc dressed in garish pink. "You can tell Scheherazade your worries. I've heard a thousand tales, you see, and told a thousand myself."

This looks really great, a lot of thought and effort have been visibly put into this. I think the accompanying MOCs are well done as well (gotta love the quest board
I already have a character in mind, I'll post it shortly in the corresponding thread. This'll hopefully be great fun

Just to clear things up, my character is not a vampire. I only described him as being paler than the others, because he comes from the North, which in my mind is a cliché version of Scandinavia with lots of snow, little sunlight and short days

Well, technically it would be possible, but it wouldn't be fair to other players, really. At least I am going to stick with the set deadlines - unless of course there aren't enough sign-ups to some quest, that is. But it seems that won't be a problem, with so many people joining the game.
A warm welcome to all of you new players, by the way! Let's make this a fun experience together.
CallMePieOrDie, on 14 August 2011 - 03:52 PM, said:
Oh, the sign-ups won't finish until Friday! I merely posted the current situation for everyone to see. So don't worry, you will surely get companions into whichever quest you'll be chosen (as each quest has a minimum amount of players required).
All three quests are designed for beginning players, anyway.

Anyway, I have another question. How much will it follow the actual story of the board game? Will their be a dark druid quest later on? Or maybe the Ork king leading a rebellion?
Sorry for all my annoying questions.
I have another question not related to Heroica. When I try to go to my profile I get the error message telling me I'm not authorized to view member profiles so I can't us my Personal messenger or edit my avatar or sig. If someone could help or direct me to someone else who could help I'd be very thankful.(man I feel like a nube right now:blush:)

You need 10 posts first. May I also suggest introducing yourself in the Hello! My name is... forum? That way we can all welcome you to the community and find out more about you.
Edit: Dang! Brickdoctor beat me by two minutes.
