I have been running a Descent group for a few years now, but there are still a lot of unanswered questions that we have as a group. I started with the base campaign and then we later went into road of legend and now sea of blood. I am always the Overlord, yeah it gets old, and my friends and I constantly come into questions while playing that the rule book does not seem to give straight answers for. K so I have some questions about the basic mechanics of the game in general and then also some specific questions about the sea of blood. So here it goes.
Basic Game Mechanics for Descent in General.
1. Can any character make any kind of attack regardless of traits? For example, if a hero has no traits in magic can he make a magic attack? If so what dice would that hero use?
2. Can a hero make a ranged attack with the melee dice? For example, a kobold has a red dice and a yellow dice on the sea of blood campaign. Can the kobold make an attack with the melee dice if he is two or three squares away from its target? Or does it have to switch out the red dice with the blue ranged dice?
3. Can any hero use any kind of item as long as it fits into the two hand limit and the equipped item limit etc. So for example, can a non magic character use a magic item?
4. After a hero uses an item, is it automatically exhausted or is it only exhausted if it specifically says to do so on the card?
Sea of Blood Questions
1. Can ships ever rotate during an encounter?
2. Is there a limit to the number of upgrades an overlord can purchase for his or her avatar?
3. While heroes are in dungeons, do lieutenants still raze cities or does it stop until heroes exit the dungeon?
4. Can a hero or monster be knocked off a ship?
5.When heroes buy skill cards do they just draw one card at random from the skill deck?
I am sure there are more to follow but I really appreciate anyone's thoughts. Not everything is clearly explained in the book. Also if possible, can you include page number references in your responses. A lot to ask, but really helps. Thanks guys.
