Two Q's game up in the games we played,

1) If all the heroes are KO'd, does the overlord automatically win? Or can they just keep standing up?

2) Suppose a hero is fatigued and get's KO'd. On his next turn he rolls 2 red dice to recover (Stand Up, or Revive action), but gets no surges-- can he still stand up? The rules say a hero can stand if he has at least one wound, but technically he is still fatigued (no surges so no recovery of fatigue).

Thnx

RB

Also-- Has anyone figured out how to convert the quests from the 1st Ed sets to 2nd?

Thnx again--

1) They keep standing up. OL wins when win requirements are met.

2) Hero can recover without any surges. He simply keeps all his fatigue tokens on him.

+1 to both of these answers. A hero can be out of fatigue without being KO'd, as long as he has wounds left.

Also note that when a hero is defeated (by any means) he immediately suffers fatigue up to his Stamina rating and wounds up to his Health rating ("Knocked Out", pg 15), so technically, every time a hero is revived and rolls no surges, he will be standing up without any fatigue. The bit about suffering wounds up to his Health rating is just to cover cases where a hero is KO'd by something other than losing his last wound (ex: lava.)

I've got a little project in the wings for that. Far too early to share with anyone just yet, but keep your eyes peeled.

Thanks! And awesome news - I have my eye-peeler ready!!!

If I use the Spiritspeaker's skill "Healing rain" on a KO'd hero, would the hero recover a fatigue when a surge is rolled?

No. Regaining fatigue for surges rolled is an effect of the die roll made when a hero Stands Up or gets Revived. it is explicitly mentioned in the rules for using those two actions.

Healing Rain does not mention this effect from surges rolled, so it doesn't happen.
