01 – Required Components

1 very small mini (about the size of a Risk piece) to represent your hero on the battle-map.

2 dice* for your Hero's AMT.

6 dice for the Villain's VAT.

1 very small die for summoned ally (optional).

Pencil with eraser for your Hero Mat.

Clear matte office tape for prepping scenarios.

Small cubes of different colors for:

• Your HP on your Hero Mat.
• Elemental Infusions.
• Scenario map items.
• Villain Counters (which should be labeled 1-9).

Quarters for larger 4-square Map items.

10 Card Sleeves for your Hero's Ability Cards.

7 Sheets of Colored paper/cardstock to print the Ability Cards and Item Cards.

* All dice in this game are six-sided (D6).

Pre-Game Prep Work

You will have to cut out all of the cards and condition markers on separate pieces of colored paper/cardstock.

Separate ability cards by specialty.

Then shuffle item cards and put them in a pile facedown nearby.

02 – Hero Mat

The Hero mat is a consumable half page with a blank for your superhero's name, an outline of the superhero itself to be decorated (choose the male or female card), Hit Point bar at the bottom, Attack Modifier Table on the right, and Perks you will choose in the middle as you level. You will discard ability cards face up to the left of your mat, and bury cards face down to the right of your mat.

Hero Mat key:

• A = Discard. You will place the cards you played face up in the discard pile to the left of your Hero Mat.
• B = Name. You will write a creative name for your superhero in this box.
• C = Specialties. You will circle two icons representing your two superhero specialties.
• D = Active. Active cards such as Augments and Neural Chips are placed in this area above the Hero Mat.
• E = Hand Size. You will always start a scenario with 10 cards total.
• F = Buried. Some cards have an X on them meaning they are buried after use. Also when you rest you bury two cards of your choice from your Discard Pile (A). These cards can never be returned to your hand during a scenario.
• G = Perk Cards. You get 1 perk each level. Put your 2 cards here and choose 1 from the 6 options each time you level up.
• H = Elemental Infusion Table. This is used to measure the powers of light and dark. These powers can be manipulated.
• I = Hit Points. You will track you HP here. If ever you lose HP below one (1), you are exhausted and lose the scenario. You must attempt the scenario again.
• J = Item Capacity. This shows how many items you can equip before starting a scenario. It increases as your level increases.
• K = Level. As you level increases, so too do your starting HP and number of items you can equip.

03 – Creating Your Hero

To make your hero at the beginning of the game take a blank male or female Hero Card and do the following:

1. Draw a random item card from the deck.
2. Choose two specialties and circle the two symbols at the top of your Hero Mat.
   • Martial Arts (fist icon)
   • Psionics (head icon)
   • Shadow (circle icon)
   • Super Senses (eye icon)
   • Super Strength (arm icon)
   • Weaponry (pistol icon)
3. Take the Perk Mini Cards (1 from each Specialty) and place/tape them on to your Hero Mat.
4. Sleeve the 10 Level 1 Ability cards associated with your two specialties (5 from each) and put them into your hand.
5. Choose one perk (from the six choices on your Perk Cards) and fill in the bubble in front of it.
6. Name your Hero.
7. Illustrate your Hero Portrait (Use color and creativity to make your hero pop! This will be your character for the next 20+ hours of gaming, so get invested!).
8. Place a cube over your 10HP marker (level 1).

04 – Ability Cards

The ten "level one" ability cards (5 from each of the two specialties) are what allow you to perform actions during a scenario. At the beginning of each round, you will choose two ability cards from your hand. You will use the top half of one card and the bottom half of the other to complete at least two actions. The order of the cards is up to you. You can use the bottom of one card first if you wish, but then you must use the top half of the other card. The order of actions on each half of the card is important as they must be played line by line. You may skip a line (or effect) but you cannot rearrange the order of the effects.

These cards represent your endurance and battle fatigue. The more cards you have in your hand, the more endurance you have. Meanwhile, the more cards you have in your Discard Pile and Buried Pile, the more fatigued you are. Once all of your cards are in your Buried Pile, you become exhausted and lose the scenario.

After using a card, it will go to your Discard Pile (except in cases of 04.1 and 04.2). You do not get these cards back until you Rest, but resting will always send two cards to the Buried Pile.

Instead of using the top or bottom of a card, you can use one of the three Basic Actions from the bubble in the middle of the card. If you use a basic action, the card is put into the Discard pile.

Ability card key:

• T = Specialty. This symbol tells you the type of Ability Card.
• U = Initiative. This is the initiative available when you play the card.
• V = Upper Half. This part of the card usually has attacks.
• W = Basic Actions. One of these three actions can be used instead of the upper or lower half of a card.
• X = Lower Half. This part of a card usually has higher movement options.
• Y = Card Level. This shows the level of the card, and the level needed to have it in your pool.
• Z = Bury. If you played the power on the half of the card that has this symbol, the used card goes into the Bury pile instead of the Discard pile.

04.1 – Buried Cards

Some cards are significantly more powerful than others. When you play a card half that has an X icon in the bottom corner, that card goes to the Buried Pile instead of just being discarded.

04.2 – Active Cards

These are also more powerful since they maintain a bonus until you rest. These cards have a tilted X and normally limited to one in play at a time.

Summons are Persistent Effect cards. Although they also share the same tilted X, they are not Buried during a Rest. Instead, they are only Buried once the summoned ally has lost all of its HP.

05 – Item Cards

You begin the game with 1 random item card. The item you get might influence how you build your hero. Additional Item Cards are acquired by ending your turn in a spaces with a ? during Scenarios. At the end of a turn when you land on a ?, shuffle the item card deck, draw one Item card. Any items found during a scenario can be used on future scenarios, but not in the current scenario.

If you fail a scenario, the Item you found is removed from the game. You still have to redo the scenario until you win, but the Item acquired from that scenario is destroyed.

Some items are more helpful for certain hero specialties. You are limited to the number of Items you can equip by your current level. See Leveling for more details. Most Item Cards have the X symbol and are thus buried after use.

06 – Villains

The villains you encounter in a given scenario are individually listed on the Scenario Sheet, including health bubbles. Place clear matte tape over the health bubbles before starting your scenario. (This will make it easier to erase heals and restart if needed). Fill in these bubbles with a pencil as they take damage.

All Beta Villains have 1 SHIELD and can do x3 damage when rolling a 12 on the AMT.

Once a villain is defeated, remove that unit from the board.

Each round, after you have selected your two ability cards and announce your initiative, roll 1d6 for each villain type and refer to that villain's ability table. The die result determines what initiative and abilities each villain of that type will perform the round on his turn.

For purposes of gameplay, every numbered villain counter (1, 2, 3, etc.) on the scenario spread is a villain since it has HP for you to destroy.

07 – Attack Modifier Table

Any time an Attack is performed (by you, or a villain), roll 2d6 and refer to the AMT on the Hero Mat to determine how the attack is modified. You must do this for each target individually.

You may discard one card from your hand to increase your hero's AMT total one. If you rolled a 3 (NIL) you could discard one card to make it a 4 (-2). Likewise, if you rolled an 11 (x2) you could discard a card to make it a 12 (x3).

If you chose the AMT Perk that allows you to discard more than one card, increase your AMT by the number of cards you send from your hand to the Discard Pile. Remember, cards that were chosen this round (during 09.1), and cards that are Active are not in your hand.

Effects like Push, Poison, Stun, and Damage happen despite (or in absence) of the AMT result. Higher rolls on this table are generally better. If a 2 (NIL) is rolled, then the attack does no damage to your HP. If an 11 (x2) is rolled, then the attack does double HP damage to the target. If a 12 is rolled by a Beta (yourself or a villain with a Beta tag) the modifier is x3 instead of x2.

AMT table (printed on the Hero Mat):

2d6 roll	Modifier
2-3	NIL
4	-2
5	-1
6-8	0
9	+1
10	+2
11	x2
12	x2
12* (Betas only)	x3

08 – Scenario Setup

Scenarios will consist of a two-page spread with the Scenario Sheet (containing victory conditions, narrative, villains, and special instructions) on the left and the map on the right. When setting up a scenario, do the following:

1. Place clear office tape over the health bubbles on the Scenario Sheet so you can erase them easier. It might require multiple attempts at a scenario to complete it.
2. Place the cubes marked 1-9 on the correct places on the map.
3. Place a cube where the ? is located and any other terrain or object features on the board on the board.
4. Place your mini on one of the starting spots of your choosing marked with a start symbol (a boxed X on a diamond).
5. Review any starting conditions from the Scenario Sheet.
6. Have at least 8 dice (D6) on hand for the scenario.
7. Choose from the items you own to equip.
8. Take the 10 Ability Cards into your hand.
9. Prep your Hero Mat with the correct HP for your current level and two Perk Cards.

09 – Round Overview

A scenario is a series of rounds that are played until you either reach the victory condition or fail (usually by exhaustion).

The round will happen in this order:

1. Card Selection - You will choose two cards to play this round. If you do not have 2 cards, then you take no actions (as if you were Stunned).
2. Initiative - Choose the initiative from one of the two cards selected in step 1. Then roll a d6 for each villain type and refer to the initiatives in their VAT results.
3. Hero and Villain Turns – Starting with the lowest initiative (closest to 1). Your hero and the villains will act out their turns. (During a tie, your hero goes first.)
4. Your hero may take a Rest if at least 2 cards are in the Discard Pile.

09.1 – Card Selection

You will select two cards from your hand to play this round, using the top of one and the bottom of the other, or the Basic Actions of either/both. The two played cards are then either discarded (face up to the left of your Hero Mat), Buried (face down to the right of your Hero Mat), or activated (face up above your Hero Mat). Only discarded cards can be returned to your hand (by resting).

09.2 – Initiative

After selecting your initiative from one of the two cards played (you'll usually choose the faster card), roll on the VAT for each villain type in this scenario. The VATs are found on the Scenario Sheet and each require rolling a d6. Once rolled, leave the d6 on top of the VAT so you can access the number easier without having to memorize it.

Starting with the lowest initiative (closest to 1) your hero and the villains will act out their turns. If there is a tie, you choose whether you want to go before the villain.

09.3 – Resting

At the end of any/every round, after all actions and special instructions have been resolved, you may rest to recover cards. Discarded cards (not Buried Cards) are returned to your hand by resting. You can only Rest if there are at least two cards in your Discard Pile. Follow these steps when Resting:

1. All Active cards (like Augments) are Buried.
2. If you buried any Active Cards, move a chosen card from your Discard Pile to your Buried Pile. If you did not bury any active cards, move two chosen cards from your discard pile to your Buried pile.
3. If your HP is not at maximum for your level, heal 1 HP. If you have any conditions such as Poison and Wound, you remove all negative conditions instead of gaining HP.
4. Take all of the remaining cards from the Discard pile and put them back into your hand.

10 – Hero Turn

On your turn, you will perform the top card action and the bottom card action (in any order). You can choose to skip some effects of a specific card but you cannot go back or rearrange the order of effects on the card itself. You may also choose to use any card you play for a Basic Action (attack 1, or move 1, or push 1). Cards used as basic actions are discarded only.

11 – Attack

There are four types of attacks; ranged, melee, AOE, and Cone. Unless a range is specified, attacks are melee and only possible against villains and objects in the eight adjacent spaces. Every attack requires a roll on the Attack Modifier Table to determine if there's a change in damage.

When a villain takes damage, fill in the health bubbles on the Scenario Sheet until all bubbles are filled in (defeated).

When your hero takes damage, you may either reduce your HP according to the damage specified, or you may Bury a card from your Hand to reduce the incoming damage to 0. When you use a card in this way, it goes into the Buried pile, and it doesn't prevent any other effects. You cannot Bury an Active Card to negate damage.

If you have fewer HP than the damage done AND you do not have a card in your hand to negate the damage, then you are exhausted and the scenario ends. You will have to try the scenario again to complete it.

12 – Line of Sight

Also referred to as LOS, Line of Sight is required for all attacks, effects, and conditions. You have LOS if you can trace a straight line from one corner of your space to one corner of the villain's space without touching any part of a wall; going through a wall, clipping the corner of a wall, or following the edge of a wall.

13 – Advantage and Disadvantage

If you have to roll on the AMT with advantage or disadvantage, you will roll 3 dice instead of 2 dice. If the attack has advantage, choose the two highest dice. If the attack has disadvantage, choose the two lowest dice. CONFUSE always causes disadvantage, as does using a ranged attack against an adjacent target.

To show that the next attack (or more if a persistent effect) has Advantage/Disadvantage, place a Marker on your Hero Mat or on the Conditions Tracker if for Villains.

There is a Super Senses Perk that prevents Villains from ever gaining advantage or disadvantage.

14 – Area Attacks

Also referred to as AOE attacks, these attacks target multiple adjacent squares. An AOE 1 attack only needs LOS to the target square and would affect the target square and its 8 adjacent squares, while AOE 2 would target all of the squares as an AOE 1 plus an additional ring of squares. AOE attacks are dangerous and can cause damage against yourself or allies if not carefully placed. AOE attacks do not work through walls. AOEs are not affected by advantage and disadvantage.

15 – Cone Attacks

Cone attacks will affect 8 squares in a pyramid shape orthogonally (up, down, left, or right) adjacent to the attacker (with the attacker being at the top—or smallest part—of the pyramid). A Cone attack is made from a corner of your square and spreading away orthogonally. Cone attacks are dangerous and can cause damage against allies if not carefully placed. LOS is still required to each square for each square to be targeted. Cone attacks are not affected by advantage and disadvantage.

16 – Attack Conditions

Effects and conditions take effect whether or not damage is done target. These will still be applied on a NIL result.

Conditions last until a unit both begins and ends its turn with the condition. Conditions do not stack. This means that you cannot have multiple BLEEDS on you or multiple POISONS on you. However, you can have one of each. Beneficial conditions such as SHIELD and RETALIATE also work in this fashion. They will last until the unit begins and ends its turn with the condition in effect.

BLEED effects do not require a roll on the AMT. A Bleed effect cannot be Retaliated against or Shielded against because it's not an attack action. It's damage that cannot be mitigated and simply takes away health according to the number listed. You cannot choose to negate the lost HP by discarding an Action Card from your Hand.

• CONFUSE forces disadvantage for all attacks made by the target during its next turn.
• DISARM prevents the use of an Attack action during the target's next turn. This does not prevent an attack from a Charge action.
• IMMOBILIZE prevents the target from willfully moving until the end of its turn.
• POISON allows all future attacks to add +1 targeting the figure. If a Heal ability is used (VAT, Card, or Rest) on a poisoned target, the POISON token is removed and the Heal has no other effect.
• RETALIATE causes damage to the Attacker if within melee whether the attack hits or not. Some Retaliates have a range, but since Retaliate is not an attack it doesn't suffer from disadvantage in melee.
• SHIELD blocks an amount of damage from Attacks. It doesn't stop effects.
• STUN prevents the target from performing any actions on its next turn, and forces the player to Bury all Active Cards. If your hero is stunned, you may not even Rest. Your hero cannot play any cards so he cannot play anything that removes negative persistent conditions. Any cards chosen go back into the players hand.
• WOUND is a persistent condition that may last the entire scenario. WOUND does 1 damage at the start of the affected figure's turn. If a Heal ability is used, the Wound is also removed.

Use a 15mm Condition Token to record these afflictions.

• Place Condition Tokens on your Hero Mat for any conditions affecting your character.
• Place Condition Tokens on/under your summon's die counter directly on the map.
• Place Condition Tokens on the Conditions and Effects Tracker (found to the right of each scenario map) for any conditions affecting Villains.
• Place those counters on the number matching the number of the Villain. For instance – in the example below – Villain 1 is affected by CONFUSE, and Villain 3 is affected by both CONFUSE and POISON.

16.1 – Attack Effects

Effects are generally positive while Conditions are negative.

Advantage and Disadvantage have their own markers that are used if the effect is ongoing.

DRAIN is a powerful effect wielded by Beta Villains (and some non-beta bosses) that forces the player to Bury 1 card from his/her hand immediately as long as the hero is in LOS (infinite range). If the player does not have a card in his/her hand, then Bury 2 cards from the Discard Pile.

PUSH immediately makes the target increase range from the attacker for each space you move it whether orthogonally or diagonally.

PULL does the opposite of push.

PIERCE reduces the effectiveness of Shield at a 1:1 ratio.

TARGET adds additional targets that are within the specified range. Target 3 Range 4 would allow three (LOS) targets up to 4 spaces away.

17 – Searching

Most search actions require you to end your turn on top of the item (usually a ? or a marked search space) you are meaning to search, however, there are a few ability cards that give your search a range. Look for language on cards like Range 1. In this case, any and all squares at range 1 can be searched immediately during your turn (provided you played such a card).

18 – Movement

Your hero and villains will move similar to a chess Rook, and then a King. The first space of a Move action must be orthogonal like a Rook. After that, you may move diagonal, orthogonal, or a mix between the two. You must always end your movement in an empty space before continuing on with any other actions.

18.1 – Jump

Jumping and Charging can only be performed in an orthogonal (Rook) direction. Villains and obstacles are ignored while jumping, but you must end your movement in an empty space. You cannot jump or charge through walls.

18.2 – Charge

Charging is a movement followed by a melee attack to the space in front of you at the end of the movement. The strength of the attack is equal to the number of spaces from the starting space that you have traveled. Charges are only in a straight line (like a rook). Charging is a special kind of attack because it can be made even if you are disarmed.

18.3 – Fly

Flying allows you to move to any place within range. If you are flying, you may move diagonal as part of your first movement. Villains and obstacles are ignored while flying. You must end your movement in an empty space. You cannot fly through walls of course.

18.4 – Teleport

Teleport also lets you move to any place within range, but you do not need a clear path or Line of Sight to reach your destination. You can teleport through walls.

19 – Elemental Infusions

Some effects require consuming an element. These are marked with a boxed-X symbol. There is a continuum of LIGHT and DARK elements found on your Hero Mat. You will manage one cube to mark the current power shift on the Element Infusion table.

The Element Infusion table, from the Light side to the Dark side, is labelled: Light Sun, Middle Sun, Black Ring Sun, Neutral Inert, Crescent Moon, Stars, Eclipse (Dark).

Your hero can only use the LIGHT element (Light Sun, Middle Sun, Black Ring Sun) to increase an ability if marked with a boxed-X symbol. The Villains can only use the DARK elements to increase an ability. If your card reads Add LIGHT, move the Elemental marker one place to the left. Villain powers always add only to the DARK, moving the marker to the right. If you or an enemy infuses an element to use with a power, move the marker one spot closer to Inert. No powers can be infused while inert. Villains must infuse (create) an element if they can. Villains will not use an element if it will not benefit them in any way.

Add Light happens immediately, so you can add Light with the first card (top or bottom half) and use it with the second card (top or bottom half) during the same turn.

Since each Villain technically has its own turn, its possible for the Infusion marker to move all of the way over to Eclipse in a single turn before you even get a chance to react. For instance, if a result on the Thug table reads Add Dark and there are 3 Thugs in play, the Infusion marker would move over one per Thug before their turns are over.

20 – Summons

Allied units can be summoned to battle by special events or cards. A summoned unit is placed in a space adjacent to the summoner. The summoned unit should be represented by a small die, which will simultaneously be used to track its HP.

Summons have basic statistics for hit points, attack, move, and range along with any special traits.

A summon is considered a persistent bonus (even though the card is placed in the active area) until either the summon loses all its hit points, or the summoner becomes exhausted, at which point the summon is removed from the board.

A summon's turn is always immediately before the character who summoned it, and is separate from that character's turn. Summons are not controlled by the summoning player, but instead obey automated villain rules. Summoned figures do not take a turn in the round they are summoned.

21 – Exhaustion

Your hero becomes exhausted in one of two ways:

• Either you drop below one hit point on the hit point track,
• Or if at the beginning of a round, you cannot play two cards from your hand and also cannot rest because you cannot recover two cards from your Discard Pile.

The moment you become exhausted during a scenario, the scenario is lost.

22 – Villains' Turns

After displaying your two cards and announcing your initiative, you will roll 1d6 on the Villain Action Table for each type of villain present. Villains then follow an automated system in order to maximize their effectiveness in combat. All villains of the same type take their turn at the same initiative value listed on the rolled VAT. During a tie, the villains act in ascending numerical order according to the numbers on their tokens. A villain must follow each step of their turn the same way the hero does. Normally, villains will have a movement first and then an attack. They cannot rearrange the order of the actions listed.

22.1 – Villain Action Table

You will roll 1d6 on the Villain Action Table for each type of villain present. All villains of that type share the same action and initiative.

You roll on this table after choosing your two ability cards and announcing your initiative.

22.2 – Focus

Each individual villain will focus on a specific enemy—either your hero or an ally (summoned). The first priority of a villain is to focus on the enemy closest to it. If more than one enemy ties for being the closest, the second priority is to focus on the enemy who is earlier in the initiative order (summons are focused on before the hero in this case).

Note: "Closer" means which enemy can be brought into attack range in the fewest number of movements.

22.3 – Villain Movement

A villain will move until it can attack your hero or summons, and no further. A villain will move away from your hero if it has a Ranged attack and would be at disadvantage if it stayed close to you. However, it can only move up to the amount listed under its movement. It follows the same rule as the hero for the first move and thus must be orthogonal. If a villain cannot attack after its movement, it will still try to get as close to target as possible as if it has a melee attack.

A villain will also move away from its focused enemy until it can perform the ranged attack without Disadvantage. When forced to choose, a villain will prioritize losing Disadvantage on its focused enemy over maximizing its attack on secondary targets. Even if a villain cannot move into attack range, it will still get as close as possible to its focus. Having abilities other than "Attack" on its ability card does not affect a villain's movement in any way. It will simply move according to the above rules and then use its other abilities as best as it can.

22.4 – Villain Attack

A villain attacks on its turn if it has an attack possible (determined by the VAT). If a villain has multiple targeting attacks, it will choose the focus of its other attacks following normal focus rules, excluding figures it is already attacking. The attacks function exactly like character attacks, and are modified by the attacker's attack bonuses, then the VAT, and finally the defense bonuses of their target. Each villain must roll separately on the AMT. They might be performed with Advantage or Disadvantage.

22.5 – Other Abilities

Villains heal just like a character does, except if there is a range to the heal, it will target the ally that has lost the most HP within the range.

Summoned villains are placed on the board adjacent to the villain that summoned it, and it will not be able to take any actions until the following round.

Some of the Villains will add the DARK element to the battle. Do this by moving the element marker one to the right. The villains might move the marker to the right very fast, but it can never go past the Eclipse spot. Villains might have powers that also can infuse elements. When they do, it can only work if the marker is in the DARK side of the infusion chart. Just like with the Hero, each instance of using an element will move it one spot closer to Inert, and no infusions can be performed if the marker is on Inert.

23 – Finishing the Scenario

Upon successfully finishing a scenario, do the following actions in order:

1. Return you HP to full according to your level
2. Collect all ten Ability cards back into your hand
3. Remove any conditions from your hero

If you were not successful, you must try the scenario again. However, start with Elemental Infusion one step to the left (into the Light). If you fail a scenario twice, restart with Elemental Infusions two steps to the left. If you fail a third time, restart with Elemental Infusions three steps to the left…etc.

If you were successful, you will be directed to read a passage from the Plot Book. Once you have resolved any decisions presented in the Plot Book, you heal up to your maximum HP, choose your items for your next mission, and refresh your hand of cards back up to 10. Then go on to the next scenario. You cannot backtrack or change your mind once you have resolved the Plot Book. There is a branching storyline to increase replayability, and if you choose to do this, you will need to create a new character.

24 – Leveling

Your hero starts out a level 1 and can progress to level 4 throughout the game. There is no experience points mechanic in the game. These level advancements will be announced in the Plot Book depending on your choices. Once you reach the next level, circle that number just above your HP tracker on your Hero Mat. You'll notice that every time you level, you get one more HP and can bring more items into a scenario.

24.1 – Health

Your HP is 10 at level 1, and 1 point more at each additional level. These HP take incoming damage. If you are at 1 HP, you will have to Bury a card each time you would normally lose health, or else further damage will exhaust you and end the scenario. You may also Bury a card at anytime to avoid losing HP even if the HP loss would not drop you below 0.

24.2 – New Ability Cards

You will always have 10 cards at the start of a scenario. Each level offers two new cards (one from each of your two Specialty Powers at that level) and when you level up you choose one of the two cards to permanently replace a card of a lower level. Choose wisely though. In order to take a card, you will have to forever dismiss a card currently in your hand. You do not get to change your mind later. Remove the dismissed card from the sleeve and place the newly chosen card in the sleeve.

For instance, if your Hero's two specialties are Shadow and Super Strength, you must only choose one of the two cards each time you level from these two specialties--and they have to match the level listed at the bottom of the card.

24.3 – Perks

You also must choose one of the six Specialty Power Perks each time you level up from the two Perk Cards on your Hero Mat. You begin the game with one Perk since you are level 1. You can get to level 4, so you will only gain four perks throughout the campaign (one per level). If your Hero's specialties are Martial Arts and Shadow (like on pg 3), you can only choose one of the six Perks from these two specialties.

24.4 – Items

Your hero can only equip a limited number of items per level:

Level	1	2	3	4	5
Items	2	3	4	5	6

You are further limited to only one Neural Chip, and only one Weapon per scenario—unless you have chosen a Perk that states otherwise. Neural Chips are Passive (their effect is always on) while all other items are Consumable (usable only once per scenario and then Buried). Items can be used/consumed at any moment during your turn.

Example of Play

Nathan is playing a hero he has named The Fury who currently has 6 HP. His hero's two specialties are Martial Arts and Super Senses. He has one item (Stims). In front of him are two thugs and a Gunner. One Thug is down to two HP, but the other Thug--and the Gunner are at full health. He could play a card that uses the ability called Defensive Stance to make the Gunner attack at disadvantage, but he wants to close the range to the Gunner as fast as possible. He decides to play his Split Kick card to attack the two adjacent villains, and the Blitz card to close the distance to Gunner who is 4 spaces away, doing an attack 3 due to the Blitz's charge at the end of his movement.

He chooses his fastest initiative of the two cards; Blitz has a 39. Only two possible rolls by the Gunner (on the VAT) are faster.

Now he rolls 1d6 for each villain type. The Thugs roll a 3 = Initiative 58, Move 3 Attack 2. The Gunner rolls a 5 = Initiative 13, Move 1, Range 6, IMMOBILIZE.

Since the Gunner has the fastest initiative, it goes first. The Fury is already in range so the Gunner doesn't move. It has no damaging attack so it doesn't roll on the AMT. However, the hero takes the effect and is now IMMOBILIZED. He puts an IMMOBILIZED marker on his Hero Mat. It will last until the end of the Fury's turn.

The Fury goes next. He's starting the turn with IMMOBILIZE so he cannot move. He uses his Splits Kick ability and attacks both Thugs. He rolls on the AMT table against the damaged Thug and gets a 9 for +1 damage. He then discards a card to gain an extra +1 on on the AMT, bringing it up to 10 for +2 damage. The Thug takes 5 damage total (the exact amount of his HP) and is defeated and removed from the board. His AMT roll for his Splits Kick attack against the other Thug is a 7, for +0. The Thug takes 3 damage.

The Fury was planning on moving but cannot now that he was IMMOBILIZED by the Gunner. If he could have charged, then he would've had to bury the blitz card. Now he just discards it instead. He consumes the Stims to return most of his HP. The Stims item card is placed into the Buried pile. With the Fury's turn over, and since he began and ended his turn with the condition IMMOBILIZE, he removes the condition marker from his Hero Mat.

Now it's the Thugs' turn. Since one of them is dead, only one attacks. He doesn't need to move since he's adjacent to The Fury. He rolls a 10 on the AMT for +2 damage. That's 4 damage. Instead of reducing the HP, Nathan could sacrifice a card by putting one from his hand or the Discard Pile into his Buried Pile. However, now that he has plenty of HP, he takes the damage by moving his HP cube from 8 to 4.

The Fury grits his teeth as he gets ready for another round.

Now that you're finished reading the Rules, print out the Guildhaven Cards document on colored paper or cardstock. Print in color, or if in grayscale make sure that each page is a different color, with the Hero Mat page being the only page that's white. Create a Hero using the rules from section 03. Then turn the page and read Plot Book entry #01. Your campaign begins here.

Scenarios

Each scenario is set up from its Scenario Sheet (villains, victory condition, special instructions, and required components) and its board map. The board maps are grid graphics on the odd-numbered pages of the source and are not transcribed here. Villains are placed on the map spaces carrying their numbers, as the sheet directs. In each Villain Action Table, the number in brackets is that result's initiative (sections 09.2 and 22.1). A boxed-X symbol on a sheet marks an effect that consumes an element (section 19). A ■ symbol on the Shade table stands for the number of Shades present on the board, as the sheet's own key states. The scenario sheets' narrative text and the Plot Book passages they refer to are not reproduced here; the "Plot Book" numbers that a sheet gives as outcomes are kept as printed.
