What happens to Heros after the end of a campaign

By SteveDub, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Hi All, I'm new to Descent and so far only played one encounter but my question is, if at the end of a campaign a Hero has gained lots of exp and gold, spent these on skills and items, when we start a new campaign do we start with new Heros or lose all the advanced skills and go back to starting equipment? I've played the solo/coop and our Heros now have advanced skills and weapons, if we start the basic box campaign won't we be too powerful for the ACT 1 monsters?

Please help as I'm unsure what to tell my players.

Everything resets after a campaign or solo encounter.

Hi Steve,

Everything resets after completing a campaign.

When you will start a new one, heroes will only have their starting gear with 0 xp.

Similarly, the OL will not have the overload cards he bought with his xp.

If the heroes win, the Terrinoth Hall of Fame ...

If the heroes lose, well ... they probably don't really want to know ... :P

Hi All,

Thanks for the response, shame you have to start a fresh when you start another campaign but I guess that's when you move to ful RPG if you want that level of character advancement.

Seeing as Finale's say "Play For Keeps" Uhm... if they lose they're dead.

Normally if you finish a campaign everything resets just like evereyone else has stated but if you like your character and want to keep them going i just posted rules i wrote for continuing campaigns and multiclassing characters to the Quest Vault. Search the title "Neverending Campaign" and give it a try i hope its enjoyable. Recommendations are also welcome. If you dont use the Quest Vault check it out its pretty cool.

Have you play test your variant ?

I am curious to see how balanced it will be.

I am in the process of the playtest right now and so far it is working well. Have you looked at it? if not please check it out and give it a playtest for me. let me know if like it or have any ideas that would make it work better so i can revise my rules.
