They are similar, as doomed inflicts sudden in death in three rounds, but ultimately they are different enough to say that enemies immune to sudden death are stil susceptible to doomed (and vice versa).

It increases in power every August. But yeah, I'm missing Darkdragon as well. Someone haul her over here to celebrate with us!

Results of Round Ten of the Rat Battle: Sarge vs. King Vermin (twice) - Mortal Hit (King Vermin: 99 health-(34+10+34+10=88x2=176 dmg)=0 health) Sarge vs. King Vermin (twice) Lab Rat M & N - Special Dodge (Mutation - Sarge Jeaux: blinded, sealed, poisoned) >Jeaux vs. Lab Rat M - Special Damage (Mutation - Jeaux: no effect) >Jensen vs. Lab Rat N - Special Damage (Mutation - Jensen: blinded, sealed, poisoned) >Heckz (Ice) vs. Lab Rat O - Great Spell (Lab Rat O: 84 health-(35x2=70 dmg)=14 health; Heckz: -1 ether) Lab Rat P - Free Hit vs. Sarge (Sarge: 25 health+24 SP-12 dmg=25 health) Jeaux - Poisoned (-1 dmg) Jensen - Poisoned (-1 dmg) Finally the King Vermin falls to Sarge's scissors. The lab rats are furious about the loss of their ruler, so they swarm against the heroes. Jeaux and Jensen get horrible mutations again. At least the flow of new rats has subsided.

The second anniversary festivities are on their way, yaaaay! First up is the traditional lottery, which is up now, so be sure to participate for some free in-game goodness! Soon to follow up is the "Massacre" event that will finally detail the events that took place at the Heroica Hall two years ago. It is open to all members of Eurobricks, whether they are players of HRPG or not. There is also a building contest in the plans, but I need to secure a few details before I can publish it. ~HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!~

The rumours had brought all available heroes to the Heroica Hall: it was that time of the year again. The time for great to come one's way. The time to hope that Fabula Sibylla would be looking down at you favourably. The time for... "Fellow heroes of Heroica! As our city faces the greatest ordeals ever, we stand united and strong! Heroica will not falter even when all Six Houses are losing control of Eubric. We are the heroes this city needs, gods be damned!" "It is again time to celebrate our survival from the great peril we faced two years ago. The Nephilim among us almost destroyed us, but thanks to all of you who joined afterwards, we have risen to new heights. Let us never betray the duty we have sworn again! We are sworn to heroism, to protect the innocents and to aid those in need." "But doing so is no easy task. That is why us, the six Veterans, want to help you face whatever comes your way on your quests. And what better way to do it than to give out free stuff, eh?! It is time to begin the Second Anniversary Lottery of Heroica!" "Just write your name down onto a ticket and you're all set to go." RULES: - All players of Heroica RPG may participate into the raffle, no matter if they are currently on a quest or not. New players are welcome to participate as well. - Confirm your character's participation by posting in-character to this topic before the 10th of August, 2012. The post can be about how your character finds out about the lottery and sends their slip of paper, for example. - The lottery will take place on the 10th of August. The prizes listed below will be dealt to the lucky winners. One player can only win one prize. - If you win an item from the raffle, you can add it to your character's inventory immediately (thanks to the magical "Z-Mail"). - If you have any questions about the lottery, please ask them at the Rules & Discussion -topic, not here. PRIZES: Health Core (Restores full health.) Ether Core (Restores full ether.) First Aid Kit (Completely restores health and removes all negative effects for the entire party once.) Tiger Balm (Grants immunity to all effects (positive and negative) for one battle.) Phoenix Incense (Revives all knocked out party members to full health during a battle.) Cosmic Essence (Revives a knocked out ally with full health and ether and gives them the blessed-effect.) Chaotic Bomb (Causes 100 random elemental damage to all opponents.) Grating Stone (WP +1 to one weapon upon use.) Bright Polish (SP +1 to one shield or armor upon use.) Level-Up Mushroom (Raises level by one full level upon use.) Mythril Shard (One quarter of a full Mythril ore, used for mythrilizing weapons.) 3 x Letter of Recommendation (Increases reputation with one of the seven main factions depending on the user's choice.) Anniversary Medal (Artefact/Accessory) (Power +2, SP +2, Max. Health +2, Max. Ether +2. The values will increase by 1 with each passing year.)

If you read the "Free Hits" section from the rules, it clearly says that one untargetted enemy gets a Free Hit on the first hero in the battle order, a second enemy gets to hit the second hero, etc. I think that's pretty clearly said that it doesn't matter how many turns one hero takes, he or she will always get one Free Hit unless the number of untargetted enemies exceeds the number of party members.

QM Note: Sorry, I wasn't thinking! Encouraged still doesn't affect healing, but one tends to forget such details when calculating results for a party of this size. You are also right about Lee, I was only staring at his Level on not his Power. I've always counted Free Hits that way, though. It's not like hastened makes a duplicate of a hero, it just gives them an extra turn...

Ellaria walks to the bar, and orders some herbal tea from the bartender. "I hear things are a little crazy in this city, wouldn't you agree? Who do you think is winning over?" she asks the bartender with a wink.

Brickdoctor is right, Messie is just a regular Aquatic-enemy when it comes to elements. There is one reason for the "Ancient"-type to be there, though, and that is Hunters.

QM Note: Nagure cannot change targets until the Fiery-eyed Lion is dead, sorry. Also remember that Lee's elemental martial hits are not spells, and as such are not ranged.

But this was one of the things that was not clearly defined in the rules. Counterstriking using the gloves is not strictly speaking an action, so it depends on how a QM interpretates "there is 1/2 chance [the confused person] will act against an ally instead of an opponent". Another thing up for QM's interpretation is how the Free Hits are divided among the party. The rules say "in the order of action", but to my recollection, I've always neglected extra turns given by hastening, instead aiming the Free Hits according to the first turn each hero takes to divide the damage more equally. Again, some people do it differently.

Ellaria bends down so that her eyes meet the dwarf's. "Yes, Mr. Wineghilm, listen to Nerwen. We have been banded together as a party for a common purpose. To stray to your own path would be unwise, even if the power of Heroica does protect you from meeting your maker when you are on a mission. Please, let us head into the city together now. I have a bad feeling this isn't the last time we will see those Pongcanae..."

You're right, I always forget about those damn claws. Tesni's Fiery Sawblade does have a Ruby imbued. Check out the Marketplace topic if you don't believe me. Before, of course, since they're part of the initial damage output. The multipliers multiply the damage done, so it doesn't make sense to add anything after them. You could argue that a weapon's element doesn't affect power bonuses coming from artefacts, but logically one strike cannot be "partially elemental", so it does.

I thought about it, but I just couldn't do it to the heroes of Quest#75, who were already in deep trouble. In normal circumstances I would probably have confused affect the Counterstrike Gloves, too.

Results of Round Seven of the Rat Battle: Sarge vs. King Vermin (twice) - Shield (Arrogant Prick - King Vermin: 439 health-(85+85=170x2=340 dmg)=99 health; Sarge: steals drops) Sarge vs. Lab Rat I & K - Shield (Arrogant Prick - Lab Rat I: 1 health-85 dmg=0 health; Lab Rat K: 9 health-85 dmg=0 health; Sarge: steals nothing) >Jeaux vs. Lab Rat M - Damage (Jeaux: 18 health-(12/2=6 dmg)=12 health) >Jensen vs. Lab Rat L - Damage (Jensen: 8 health-(12/2=6 dmg)=2 health) >Heckz (Ice) vs. Lab Rat L - Spell (Lab Rat L: 84 health-(26x2=52 dmg)=32 health; Heckz: -1 ether) Lab Rat N joins the battle! Sarge finally delivers a strike at the King Vermin, but it's not quite enough to take it down. He steals the item and gold the wererat carries, though. Then two more rats fall to Sarge's scissors. Jeaux and Jensen take damage from the attacks of the other rats, but Heckz's spell connects. One more rat joins the fray.

QM Note: No, sorry. It was already specified that the toolboxes only restore condition, they cannot mend an automaton that's literally "beyond repair". You have unfortunately lost Sapphiraz for good.

QM Note: Just to help you guys out, I want to point out that there's no reason for you to attack from the back row, Pyrovisionary. You have high enough SP to easily protect you from the rats' Free Hits, and you kinda need to start to dish out more damage before you are overwhelmed. And joeshmoe, Jeaux could have used another item on your turn since you have the briefcase. And use those conditional actions to spread out your attacks. Focus, people! Results of Round Six of the Rat Battle: >Sarge vs. King Vermin (twice) - Hide >Sarge vs. Lab Rat I & J - Mortal Hit (Lab Rat I: 18 health-(34/2=17 dmg)=1 health; Lab Rat J: 9 health-(34/2=17 dmg)=0 health) Jeaux uses Neutralizer - (All combatants: all temporary effects removed) >Jensen vs. Lab Rat J K - Stun (Lab Rat K: stunned) >Heckz (Ice) vs. Lab Rat K - Spell (Lab Rat K: 61 health-(26x2=52 dmg)=9 health) Lab Rat L - Free Hit vs. Sarge (Sarge: 35 health+24 SP-(12/2=6 dmg)=35 health) Lab Rat M joins the battle! Sarge decides to hide from King Vermin once again, but he makes up for it by killing one of the rats. Jeaux uses his Neutralizer to remove all effects from everyone, sacrificing his hastened-status at the same time. Jensen stuns one of the lab rats and Heckz targets the same rat with an icy spell. The unattended rat makes a futile attempt to hurt Sarge. Another rat crawls out to fill in for the killed one. The King Vermin and four Lab Rats remain.

The automata immediately boost Atramor, who in turn debilitates Touching the Sky, but then the Fiery-eyed Lion strikes with her flames again. In her confusion, Tesni smashes the bird-loving Sapphiraz to pieces, and suddenly the heroes feel themselves much slower. They manage to survive, though, thanks to some hexed enemies turning against their allies and Tarn stunning several foes who would have otherwise gotten a Free Hit on them. Unfortunately, none of the remaining Stars are defeated this round, so the 13 party members still face 21 enemies.

"Sir Lawrence, for shame!", Ellaria gasped in jest. "Do not use me as an excuse to have a drink! But I reckon we can mingle with the locals at the tavern, so let's go."

QM Note: Sarge's hollow blade is currently empty, as he already used the Remedy in it on Round Two. I just forgot to edit it out, sorry.

It does what it says it does in the rules: protects the hero from all elemental attacks or attacks that use ether. That usually means enemy Special Skills, since very few enemies have elemental attacks by default. I've posted clarification to how confused works when not attacking into the FAQ, as discussed earlier: Q: How does the confused-effect work in the case of the confused hero targetting an ally or himself, for example with healing or an item? A: The point behind the effect is that the confused hero becomes disoriented and has a chance of mistaking an ally for an enemy. This works the other way around as well - he might just as well mistake an enemy as an ally. To better phrase it, the confused hero has 1/2 chance of using their action to a random target on the unintended side. This does not apply when the confused hero targets himself, though, so he can use a Remedy on himself without care.

Sorry, it seems I missed that immunity of Thalion's. I only looked for immunities against Fire... But yeah, Thalion shouldn't have taken any damage from the attack - but he did get confused all the same. I'll go fix it now.

While they were waiting, Ellaria started to hum a tune she learned as a child growing up in Tumpkin Village. "...If you're bored and you know it clap your hands. If you're bored and you know it clap your hands. If you're bored and you know it and you're not afraid to show it, if you're bored and you know it clap your hands..." I took her a while to notice everyone staring her oddly. She then realized that she had actually clapped her hands. The familiar red rose to her cheeks.
