New Heroes

Garuk

Garuk has a number of rules specific to his Hero that come into play after you have completed the 3 tutorial scenarios. Garuk plays just like any other Hero during the tutorial scenarios. During the tutorials, use the Garuk the Cursed Hero miniature and Hero board.

These Garuk Specific Rules are also shown in the back of the Garuk Hero Book.

After the Tutorials

Once you have finished the 3 tutorial scenarios, you will gain Garuk's Shapeshift card. From that point onwards, Garuk has two forms that you may change between several times during each scenario: Cryomancer and Ravager. Each has its own Hero miniature and Hero board, but they share a Vitality disk, Stamina chips, and Extra Actions board.

City and Journey Steps

During the setup of each City phase, place both Hero boards in front of you. You may place your Vitality disk and Stamina chips on either Hero board. Place your items below your Cryomancer (Garuk the Cursed) Hero board.

During the City and Journey steps, use the higher of Garuk's ability levels for ability checks, meaning you roll 3 dice for Might ability checks, and 2 dice for Agility or Will ability checks.

Start of the Scenario Step

Place your chosen Action tokens for this scenario, whether they are Cryomancer Action tokens, Ravager Action tokens, or a mix of the two, in the available spaces on your Cryomancer Hero board and, from level 2 onwards, on your Extra Actions board.

Note that Action tokens are never placed on your Ravager Hero board, and that it has two extra pre-printed actions on it that you may select at the start of a round: Pounce and Ferocious Bite.

Garuk may start a scenario in either form: Cryomancer or Ravager.

Garuk's Form

The form you are currently in is shown by your miniature on the Scenario map. You may use your Shapeshift card and, from level 4 onwards, your Shapechange action to change form.

Change Form

To change form, swap your Hero miniature on the Scenario map with your other Hero miniature.

When you change form, all of your passive actions end; place any Stamina chips locked on them above your Hero board, stamina side up, and take back any Hero tokens they may use.

Hero Actions

During the Select Hero Action phase, you may select an action on either Hero board or on your Extra Actions board. The selected action will determine your initiative as normal.

During your turn, you may only perform your selected action if you are in the appropriate form:

To use the Focus or Extra maneuver action on your Cryomancer Hero board, you must be in Cryomancer form.
To use a Cryomancer Action token, you must be in Cryomancer form.
To use the Focus, Extra maneuver, Pounce, or Ferocious Bite action on your Ravager Hero board, you must be in Ravager form.
To use a Ravager Action token (even if it is on your Cryomancer Hero board), you must be in Ravager form.

If you are not in the correct form, you must either change to the correct form before performing your action, forfeit the action, or perform the Rethink action instead.

Class Cards

At level 2, instead of choosing which of your two Class cards to gain, you gain both the Cryomancer and Ravager Class cards.

At levels 2, 3, 4, and 5, you gain a Class Skill on each of your two Class cards. You may only use a Class Skill if you are in the appropriate form.

Ravager Form and Items

While in Ravager form you may not use any items that must be active to be used. Instead, you have two claws which each count as a one-handed melee weapon as shown on your Ravager Hero board.

Items that do not have to be active to be used may be used normally in Ravager form.

Garuk Class Skills • Cryomancer

Tattoo of Hospitality: Your Invigorate, Healing Wave, and Healing Word actions restore 1 more stamina / heal 1 more damage.

Tattoo of Squandering: Once per City step, you may immediately reroll one of your active or reactive ability checks. Place a [dark X-marked token] token on this class skill to show it has been used during this City step.

Focus Magic: Spend a maneuver. Roll 1 extra red die during your Ice Knife attack this turn. Each Enemy that takes damage from this attack also gains the Slowed condition.

Restful Repose: During a scenario, each other Ally in line of sight within range 1 of your Hero may roll 1 more red die when performing an active ability check.

Tactics: After you have selected your action, but before the Initiative card is revealed, you may spend 1 stamina to change your Initiative to any Ally initiative. Place the appropriate Initiative token over your chosen action's initiative symbol to remind you. Remove the Initiative token at the end of the round.

Blood Rage: If half or more of your Stamina chips are wound side up, each Enemy that takes damage from your melee attack also gains the Bleeding condition.

New Event Cards

When setting up the City Event deck for your Campaign (see Campaign Book, page 20), add City Event card 034 if you are playing Garuk in your campaign, and 035 if you are playing Xir in your campaign. Similarly, when setting up the World Event deck, add the World Event cards with the matching number.

Note: These Event cards have instructions which send you to an entry in the appropriate Hero Book, not to an entry in the Story Book as Event cards in the base game do. This is signified by the icons G and X on the Event cards.
