Heroes
5 heroes, each built around a different pairing of the four attributes. Every hero starts at HP 6, Movement 2, Level 1.
Torvin Stonefist
Shield Wall
After you take any amount of damage, gain 1 Focus token.
Starting item: Ancestral Warhammer
Background: Exiled Warden of Ironhold
Tank / Protector. Low WIS means he rarely Banishes alone — pair with Sylara or Aelindra on Rifts. Lead melee charges.
Sylara Dawnweave
Arcane Surge
On a INT check, you may take 1 wound to reroll one or all dice.
Starting item: Spellweave Staff
Background: Lorekeeper of the Crystal Spire
Spellcaster specialist. Access to all Common and Arcane spells (INT 4). Focus INT for spells, WIS for Banish contributions.
Drek Ashblade
Reckless Assault
As part of an attack action, take 1 wound to gain a free action after this attack.
Starting item: Bloodmaw Cleaver
Background: Raider born in the Cinderpass Narrows
Glass-cannon melee. Hit hard and fast. Keep a healer nearby.
Mira Whisper
Daring Defiance
Before a test, spend 1 gold: +1 to all die faces on this test. If you fail, lose 1 gold.
Starting item: Wraithsilk Cloak
Background: Vagabond of Veilmoor
Scout / Flank. Get into position fast; set up flanks for your allies.
Sister Aelindra
Channel Divinity
Once per round, absorb 1 Wound or Corruption meant for another hero. Then, gain a Focus token.
Starting item: Icon of the Dawn
Background: Priestess of the Dawnchurch
Healer / Support with a dual edge — WIS 4 makes her a top Banisher, INT 4 unlocks and fuels all spells including Arcane. Equally strong closing Rifts or casting. Prioritize Mend Wounds and Soul Anchor in the late game.
