OL using threat in encounters and dungeons

By maamets, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Hi guys,

In the rulebook there is a rule that during encounters OL can use threat as follows:

  • move a monster one additional space for 2 threats
  • add a black power die or upgrade an existing power die by one level for 2 threats

Does this work also in dungeon levels or only in sea encounters?

A sea encounter is an encounter... lengua.gif

You can't do this in dungeons.

Ok, thx!

Another question that I could not find an answer in the rulebook. Namely in the vanilla Descent opening a chest sometimes had a curse on it that generated threat for the OL. I could not find any reference to it in SoB. I guess that in SoB chests are not cursed but I want to have a confirmation.

Regards.

They are not cursed.

in my expierience, due to the fact, that the heroes roll dice to determine if they get treasure, chests are cursed! my gaming group has practically never rolled a treasure, they usually get their 1 exp and are done... ;-P
