Pets, Mounts and Summons

By Daemon, in Runebound

Greetings everyone


I made some house rules to insert the quest cards as allies (pets, mounts and summons), and i like afeedback for then...


Any player can get quest cards as allies instead of the reward descript on card:


Mind heroes (initial ranged damage 2+) - Pet, act like a ally (can only have one at time), buth don't count with the ally limit, the stats are Health (same) Ranged (mind-10), Melee (body-10), Magic (spirit-10) and special ability if aplicable (+1 damage for each combat round, cold damage, fatigue damage, extra damage, miss and reroll abilities)


Body heroes (initial melee damage 2+) - Mount (only eligible monsters), act like a equipment, they boost the unaltered value from first attack with the expend of same stamina. A warrior with body 5/melee 2 with a mamoth enemy (blue quest card) with 18/3, they spend 3 stamina to make the first melee attack with 13(5+18-10)/5(2+3). The mount can also add some movement to character, expend 1 stamina to reroll a movement dice (as Rohan ability)


Spirit heroes (initial magic damage 2+) - Summon, act like a temporary ally, you choose a type of monster (see below) and can "summon" that monster for battle. You can only have one monster from each quest card color (4 maximum, 5 in dread isles) and can summon only one monster per battle. The stas are the same from pets. To summon this monster the player must expend some stamina


Green quests activation- 1 stamina


Yellow quests activation- 2 stamina


Blue quests activation- 3 stamina


Red quests activation - 4 stamina



Character groups (opitional) - to make some diference for players use the characteristics below


Humans (or balanced heroes) - Any pet, any mount, any summon. Only human can mount and summon dragons


Orcs (or body heroes) - canine/boarlike pets, canine/boarlike mounts, summon demonic creatures


Dwarfs (or body/spirit heroes) - bears pets, bears mounts, summon golem creatures


Undeads (or spirit heroes) - insect pets, insect mounts, summon elemental creatures


Elvens (or mind/spirit heroes) - felines pets, felines mounts, summon plant creatures


Reptilefolk (or mind heroes) - reptile pets, reptile mounts, summon wormlike creatures


Beastfolk (or mind/body heroes) - herd like pets, herd like mounts, summon beasts creatures



Thats it.
