Hi guys!

This forum is of extreme use to our small Descent group, thank you :-)

Here comes a new topic for discussion: The overlord has 15 xp to spend on any avatar upgrades in the beginning. Now consider the quite powerful purchase of 2 more lieutnants at the very start of the game: Lord Merick (5 xp, normally 10 xp) and Eliza Farrow (8 xp, normally 11 xp)! I subtracted the discount because Sir Alric is already in play, isn't he? What do you think? Is it legal?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Greetings,

I don't think this is legal. My understanding is that the initial XP that the overlord gets at the start of the campaign can only be used to buy overlord upgrades, not lieutenants.

See page 24 in the rulebook: Avatar Upgrades include Avatar improvements, monster upgrades, or lieutnants...

It is a generic term for all upgrades.

No, it's forbidden: as OL you can't use your starting 15 XPs to purchase LTs!

Pag 10 of the FAQs: (with his initial 15 XPs the OL can only purchase) "Avatar upgrade cards only. No Lieutenants".
