What is Wolsung SSG?
What do you need to play?
In order to play, you'll need at least two players, each controlling a number of miniatures forming a club, a flat surface of roughly 3ft by 3ft (36"x36"), several six-sided gaming dice (D6), a standard, 52 playing cards deck, a measuring device and some terrain to represent the surroundings of particular scenarios.
Some Basic terms
- Success - a dice roll of 4, 5 or 6.
- Measuring Distances - All distances are measured in three dimensions. When checking the distance between models, measure from the nearest edge of each model's base. Pre-measuring is not allowed: You have to declare the Action before measuring any distances.
- Measuring Movement - It is important to note, that movement, unlike everything else, is always measured in two dimensions. When checking the distance the model moves, measure "from front to front" of the model's base.
- Model - a model is a physical representation of a character in Wolsung SSG. A model is always mounted on a base and any distances from or to a model are measured to the nearest edge of it's base. Models can be Heroes or Henchmen.
- Battlefield - the gaming area, usually 3ft by 3ft (36"x36") covered with terrain.
- Base to Base contact - In order for the models to be in BtB contact, the edge of the model's base needs to contact another model's base edge or it's base vertical projection up to the height of the top of the model's head.
Model characteristics
Models can be Heroes or Henchmen. Heroes are extraordinary individuals with unique abilities and gadgets and are best compared to Player characters in an role playing game. Henchmen are the common folk, servants, minions, and ordinary people that somehow ended up working with Heroes. They do not possess any heroic capabilities but come by the dozen.
Each model is described with a profile, listing all of it's characteristics in a following order:
- A - Actions - the model is allowed to perform up to this many various in-game actions such as Move, Shoot etc in its turn.
- M - Move - is an amount of inches the model may move per each Action spent.
- F - Fight - the close combat ability of the model. This is the number of dice rolled to hit and dodge in melee.
- S - Strength - the physical strength of the model. This is the amount of damage the model inflicts in melee each time it hits.
- G - Guns - ranged weapon handling skill. This is the number of dice rolled to hit with a ranged weapon.
- R - Reflex - agility of the model. This is the number of dice rolled to avoid being hit from afar.
- W - Wounds - the amount of damage the model may suffer until it is killed. When a model is reduced to 0 W it is removed from the battlefield.
- Human - this defines what race the character is. Races vary in profiles and Heroes benefit from special rules associated with their race.
- Hero/Henchman - this defines if the model is a Hero or a Henchman.
- 30mm/40mm - this defines what size of base the model is mounted on.
The start of the game
Before the game, both players choose the Clubs they want to field. Agree on the number of Heroes each side will be able to use. This defines the scale of the engagement, as each Hero has a number of Funds he or she can bolster the Club with. You can use the positive number of Funds to buy Henchmen and various gadgets. The number of Funds cannot be lower than 0.
Choose a scenario, set the terrain and shuffle a standard 52 gaming card deck. Check who is the First Player. For example it may be done by tossing a coin, drawing a card each from the deck and checking who scores higher or simply rolling dice. Whomever wins the test is the First Player and will choose deployment zone, deploy the models on the battlefield and will choose a model to activate first each turn. The other player then deploys his models in the deployment zone opposite.
After all the models are deployed, you may use any "at the start of the game" abilities. The game now starts and proceeds for a set number of Game Turns or until victory conditions are met by either player.
Placing Terrain
When placing terrain on the battlefield, there are several things to consider:
- At least 50% of the battlefield should be covered in terrain features. At least 50% of these should be Elevated Terrain (Buildings, walkways, etc at least 3" tall).
- Placing Elevated Terrain on the edges of the Battlefield will make any shooting models totally dominate the game. Placing Elevated Terrain mostly at the centre of the battlefield makes for a more interesting game.
- The Elevated Terrain should block some movement paths, but at the same time form alternative routes to be explored by the models with Heroic Move ability.
- There should be numerous Access Points (stairs, ladders) to allow every model to access at least some portions of Elevated Terrain. Not every Elevated terrain should be easily accessible.
Game Turn
I. Start of the turn
- Drawing cards - The start of the turn is a part where some effects may occur, listed by various special rules. Each player draws 3 cards plus as many cards as the number of Heroes they initially fielded. Then they discard the cards until they have 3 + Heroes #.
For example, in a 3 Hero game at the beginning of each turn each player draws 6 cards and then discards cards until he has 6 of them. This enables players to keep some better cards from previous turn, filter their hand or change the strategy.
II. Activations
- Model activation - The players have to Activate all of their Midless [sic; printed "Midless", likely meaning Mindless] models before they may activate any of their other models. As long as a player has any Mindless models yet to Activate this player may not Steal or Delay Initiative. The First Player chooses one of his models and performs a number of actions with this model. Then the initiative is passed to the next player.
Each model can only be Activated once in a game turn. The Initiative is passed around by the players until all but one player runs out of models that can be Activated this turn. Any surplus models the other player might have left to Activate yet are Activated in the Surplus Activations. All effects (damage and other effects) are applied at the end of each Action. Therefore if a model shoots while standing in a damaging area, both the damage/effects from his shot and the damage/effects the model suffers from the damaging effect will be applied at the end of the Action when they occured.
- Stealing the initiative or delaying the activations - In some occasions it may be worthy to Activate more than one of your models directly one after another or to wait with your model's Activation. For example if your model is locked in a 1 vs 1 melee you may want to move another models to support the same combat before your enemy has a chance to react.
Option 1: Stealing the First Player's Initiative. This is done directly before the First Player Activates his first model this turn. Each player willing to have the Initiative may choose one of the cards in his hand and place it face down on the table in a clockwise order. Reveal the cards. The player with the highest card is the First Player from now on and may now Activate his first model this turn. The initiative is passed to the next opponent in a clockwise order.
Option 2: Additional Activation. Just after you Activated one of your models and before passing the initiative to next opponent you may try to Activate an additional model. In order to do so choose one of the cards in your hand and place it face down on the table. Then your opponents may either try to counter this action or allow it (pass) in a clockwise order. If they are not willing to give you the chance of another Activation they also choose a card from their hand and place it face down on the table. Reveal the cards. If your card is higher than all of the opponents' you are allowed to activate another model. Otherwise the initiative is passed to the next opponent. It is possible to perform this action several times in a row if you have enough cards in your hand.
Option 3: Delaying the Activation. This is done directly after the initiative is passed to you. In this case you also have to repeat the process above. The difference is that if you win the card comparison you may force your opponent (in case of 3+ player games a previous player) to activate another model before passing the initiative to you. It is possible to perform this action several times in a row if you have enough cards on your hand.
III. Surplus Activations
- Surplus Activations - if only one player has more models left to Activate, they are Activated one at a time in the order decided by the player until there are no more models to Activate this turn.
IV. End of the turn
- Effects expiration - The end of the turn is a part where some effects occur, listed by various special rules. Also in this moment all effects of spells with "Until end of turn" rule cease to work. All the templates and effects expire and are removed from the battlefield at the end of turn unless noted otherwise.
Cards
In Wolsung SSG playing cards are used for a number of purposes.
The card value is only used for the purpose of Stealing or Delaying the Activation. Bridge card value is used (e.g. 9 is higher than 8), with Ace being higher than the court cards. If cards of equal values are played, then their colours are used in the following order:
- Spades
- Hearts
- Diamonds
- Clubs
Aside from Stealing or Delaying the Activation, the cards may be discarded to allow Hero models make Heroic Actions.
Activation and Action
In Wolsung SSG, players alternate moving and acting with their models, one model at a time, in each game turn. Moving and/or acting with a model is called this model's Activation. Each model can be activated only once every game turn. Every model has a number of Actions (usually 2) at their disposal each activation. Once a model is activated, it can do a number of things equal to the number of it's Actions in any order the player pleases. For example, a model can move and then shoot, move twice, or remain in place and shoot twice, provided it has 2 Actions on it's Characteristic Profile.
Action - A model makes one of a number of possible types of Action, for instance moves, shoots or casts a spell, making all the required tests. All the effects, dealt and suffered damage, are applied after the Action is resolved. First declare the chosen Action, then allocate any dice if allowed to, then measure ranges.
Possible types of Actions:
- Move
- Charge
- Fight
- Shoot
- Cast a spell
- Special Action
Special Actions: Some models have their own special actions. If an Ability has an [A] next to its name, you have to spend an action to use it. If it has Quick in its description, you may make a Move in the same action (see page 12). Whenever there is more than one model allowed to be activated at the same time, make all the Actions of one of these models before making any actions of the other model(s).
Movement
Action: Move - move the model up to it's Movement value in inches. A model may never move through other models unless specifically stated. You cannot end Movement in a place where there is no room for the model's base or in BtB with an enemy model.
Measuring - Movement distances are measured in two dimensions. When checking the movement distance, measure "from front to front" of the model's base, along the line parallel to the battlefield. You can turn and go around in any way you want as long as the total distance covered measured along the actual line of movement does not exceed the value of Movement characteristic of the moving model.
Moving as a part of other actions - whenever a model is allowed to move and do something else as a part of it's Action, such as casting a spell or using special ability, always complete the movement before making the other activity.
How does terrain affect Movement?
Models move up to their Move characteristic value in inches in each Action they spend moving over open ground. Most of the surface of the playing area will usually be an open ground - grass, dirt, cobblestones, etc. Low hedges and walls, barrels and crates of up to 1" height and 1" across are also treated as open ground.
Models may move up to half of their Move characteristic in inches horizontally for each Action they spend moving over rough ground. Terrain features such as water, ruins, walls, barrels and crates of over 1" height and 1" across but no more than 3" high. This represents the model moving vertically in addition to horizontal movement.
Walls, enclosed buildings and terrain features higher than 3" should usually be classified as impassable ground - normally models may not pass through them (unless using Heroic Move).
Elevation - Models may enter levels higher or lower than 3" via ladders by moving as in rough ground, or stairs by moving as in open ground. There must be room for a model's base at the end of the access point. Note that model's vertical movement distance may not be greater than it's base M in inches.
Shooting
A model may Shoot if it has a ranged weapon, performs a Shoot Action and has Line of Sight (LoS) to the model he or she wants to target.
Line of Sight (LoS) - an unobstructed straight line from one model's head to any portion of another model's body (ignoring weapons, hats, umbrellas, mechanical accessories and bases). Models have 360 degrees field of vision.
An example of a ranged weapon's profile:
| Name | Strenght [sic] | 0-8" | 8-16" | 16-24" | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pistol | 4 | +1 | -1 | -2 | Quick |
How to shoot a target?
- Choose a Target in LoS
- Check the distance between the models
- Shoot:
-
a) A Defender chooses a Reaction:
- Hold Nerves - The model remains steady and calm.
- Dive For Cover - The model immediately becomes Toppled.
-
b) Roll the dice: The Active Model rolls a number of dice equal to it's Guns modified as follows:
- weapon's Range modifiers
- weapon's special rules
- elevation bonus
The Target model rolls a number of dice equal to it's Reflex modified as follows:
- elevation bonus
- cover
If the shooting model scores equal or higher number of successes as the target model, the shot hits and damage is applied to the target. Otherwise it's a miss.
-
Weapon's Range modifiers
Check the distance between the shooting and target model. Look at the columns in Ranged Weapon's profile. If the model is closer or equal to the range in the first column after the weapon's name, apply the bonus from this column. If not, move to the second column and do the same. If the distance is bigger than the distance written in the last range column, the shot automatically misses.
Cover
Cover[+xR] - The number is a positive modifier to model's Reflex value. When the model's body is partially obscured from Line of Sight (LoS), it gets Cover[+1R]. When the model's body is obscured from Line of Sight (LoS) in more than 50% it gets a Cover[+2R]. Some specific special rules may change the way cover is applied to some models.
Topple
A Toppled model gains +2R against shooting attacks. The drawback is that a Toppled model has it's Fight reduced to 1 and can only choose to Fence in melee. A Toppled model remains so until it Activates. It MUST spend it's first Action next Activation to stand up. This Action it can do nothing more.
Elevation Bonus
- A model benefits from +1 Guns when targeting a model on a lower elevation (at least 3").
- A model benefits from +1 Reflex when targeted by a model on a lower elevation (at least 3").
Applying Damage
The model hit suffers damage equal to weapon's Strength modified as follows:
- Armour
- Critical hits
Damage - This is the number of Wounds a target model loses when hit with an attack. It is equal to S of the weapon plus the number of Critical Hits minus the Target's Armour.
Armour[x] - The number is a negative modifier to any Damage a model receives.
Critical Hit - Every success the shooting model rolls over number rolled by the target model. Each Critical Hit modifies the damage the target model suffers by +1.
Shooting into melee
It is possible to shoot at an enemy model in BtB with a friendly model. However, there is a chance of hitting the friendly model! Make the shooting attack as normal, but roll for the Reflex of every model in BtB with the target model. The model that rolls the least number of successes is the target. If there are more than one models with the least number of successes, the owner of the shooting model decides which one of them is the target.
If there is a model on larger base involved in a melee, all models on smaller bases gain +1R for purposes of shooting into this melee.
Melee Combat
When a model is in melee (BtB contact with enemy model) it may only perform a Move or Fight Action. Models may Move out of melee, suffering effects as per Leaving Melee, but they may not move into melee with enemy models in the same Action.
Charge - Exactly as in Move, but must end in BtB with an enemy model. As a part of the Charge, model may make one melee attack in addition to moving. When in melee, model may not use the Charge Action.
How to fight in melee?
- Choose a target in BtB
- Attack:
- a) Defender chooses a reaction:
- Fence - The models fight normally.
- Parry - The defending model gains +2F in this action.
- b) Roll the dice: Both models roll a number of dice equal to their Fight modified as follows:
- weapon's and model's special rules
- bonus for multicombat
- melee elevation bonus
- a) Defender chooses a reaction:
If the attacking model scores equal or higher number of successes as the target model, the strike hits and damage is applied to the target. Otherwise, if the defending model has chosen the Fence reaction, the damage is applied to the attacker.
Applying damage in melee
The model hit suffers damage equal to attacking model's Strength modified as follows:
- Armour
- Weapon
- Critical hits
Damage - This is the number of Wounds a target model loses when hit with an attack. It is equal to S of the Attacking model plus the number of Critical hits minus the Target's Armour.
Armour[x] - The number is a negative modifier to any Damage a model receives.
Weapon - Some weapons modify the basic strength of a model.
Critical Hit - Every success a model rolls over number rolled by the other model. Each Critical Hit modifies the damage the hit model suffers by +1.
Fighting a melee on different elevations
Models may engage in melee with models on higher or lower levels. If there is not enough room at the other level due to enemy models blocking it, a model may perform a Charge Action provided it has enough Move to reach BtB contact with the model. Place both models as close to BtB (using normal Move) contact as possible. They count as being in BtB and in melee with each other.
Models may engage in melee and/or be engaged if the base of the model standing higher is on the same level as the base, legs, torso or head of the model standing lower (see BtB).
Melee Elevation Bonus
- Models at least 1" higher gain +1 F.
- If a Charge Action is started at least 3" above the target, the charging model benefits from +1F this Action.
Fighting with multiple enemies
If a model is in BtB with more than one enemy model, it is engaged in a melee with all of them. A model can only choose one model as a target of their Fight action unless noted otherwise.
Friendly models in the same melee mounted on bases no smaller than the target enemy model provide positive modifiers to the active model's fight value equal to their own Fight values.
If a model enters BtB with an enemy model who is already in BtB with another friendly model, the above rules apply immediately.
When there are more than one model in melee on both sides
Things get a bit more complicated when the model (1) enters BtB with an enemy model (A) who is already in BtB with another friendly model (2), but there is at least one more enemy model (B) in BtB with the friendly model (2).
As soon as the model (1) enters into BtB with (A), move these models half an inch to the side, effectively forming two distinct melee fights: Model (1) in BtB with enemy (A), and model (2) in BtB with enemy (B). The player who has the initiative decides which models to move and how to split the melee.
It is possible for a model to engage 2 models in BtB at once if it's Move distance allows it. Again, the player who has the initiative decides which models to move and how to split the melee, but at least one enemy model must remain in BtB with any other friendly model who was already in BtB with enemy models at the start of the activation.
Leaving melee
It is possible for a model to leave from BtB with enemy model(s). The leaving model has to perform a Move action in order to leave BtB. Instead of Attacking, a model that wishes to leave combat must roll a number of dice equal to its R. Single enemy model with the highest F engaged in this fight rolls the number of dice equal to its F. If the model wishing to move from combat rolled at least equal number of Successes (after modifications from Heroic Deeds), he may move from the combat as normal. If he rolled less, then he must stay in combat and the Action is lost.
Magic
Magic is not readily available at every moment in Wolsung SSG. A magical power requires tedious preparations, meditation, visiting places of power, or harnessing the power of raw elements. All of which takes much more time than could be represented during a skirmish game.
Magic Ability [x] - This ability allows the model to cast spells. The [x] defines the number of dice the model uses for casting spells.
Each Spell is described by a set of parameters:
- Name
- Type - the spells are divided into 4 subtypes, see below
- Cost - indicates what card you have to discard to cast this spell
- 0 - no cards
- 1 - any card in Hero's suit
- 2 - Court Card or Ace
- Range - Maximum Range of the spell
- Strength - Only used with Magic Projectile Spells.
- Description - Includes other special rules of the spell
Cast a Spell Action - Each time a model wants to cast a spell, you must discard a card in the model's suit as indicated by the spell's cost. The model may make a Move as a part of Cast a Spell action.
The spells are organised into 2 categories, each with 2 subtypes:
- Magic Projectiles and Magic Attacks
- Magic Buffs[x] and Magic Auras[x]
Magic Projectile and Magic Attack spells
Magic Attacks and Magic Projectiles are spells that target enemy models.
How to cast a Magic Projectile or Magic Attack spell
- Choose a Target in LoS
- Pay the cost
- Check the distance between models
- Roll the dice: The Active Model rolls a number of dice equal to it's Magic Ability modified as follows:
- special rules
The Target model rolls a number of dice equal to it's Reflex modified as follows:
- special rules
If the Active Model scores equal or higher number of successes as the target model, the spell hits the target.
What happens if the spell hits the Target? If the spell cast was a Magic Projectile spell, apply Damage as normal equal to spell's S modified by Armour and Critical Hits. If it was a Magic Attack spell, apply the effects written in the Description of the spell to the target model.
Magic Aura[x] and Magic Buff[x] spells
Magic Buffs and Magic Auras are spells that target friendly models. X is the spell's Difficulty.
How to cast a Magic Aura[x] or Magic Buff[x] spell
- Choose a Target in LoS
- Pay the cost
- Check the distance between models
- Roll the dice: The Active Model rolls a number of dice equal to it's Magic Ability modified as follows:
- special rules
If the Active Model scores a number of successes equal to or higher than the spell's Difficulty, the spell succeeds and it's effects are applied.
Difference between Magic Auras[x] and Magic Buffs[x] - When Choosing a Target with Magic Aura[x], you automatically Target each friendly model in spell's Range and Active Model's LoS. When casting a Magic Buff[x] spell you may only choose one Target.
Heroes
All the Hero models in Wolsung SSG have special rules that reflect their supernatural strengths and great powers. These rules are common to every Hero model.
Hero only Characteristics
- Suit - Every hero has it's specific suit, one of the card suits (Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs). Only cards in model's suit may be used for Heroic Movement and Heroic Recovery.
- Funds - Funds reflect model's wealth, contacts, or other connections. The number is added to the Club's Fund Pool, which may be used to buy Gadgets and Henchmen before each game.
Hero Special Rules
-
Heroic Recovery - At the start of the Hero model's Activation, if it's Toppled you may discard a card in the Hero's suit to stand up instead of spending an Action.
-
Heroic Move - At the start of the hero model's Activation you may discard a card in the hero's suit. If you do, until the end of activation this model is allowed to make the following special movement actions:
- -climb: The hero model may move vertically: up to the number of inches equal to his M up, or any number of inches down. He may not move through the floors of other elevations and there must be space to place the model at the end of the movement. He must end the move as close horizontally to his starting position as possible. It means he may climb the building he starts his action in base to base contact with and has to end his action as close to his starting position as possible (in base to base contact with the edge of the floor).
- -jump: The hero may move horizontally up to the distance of his M in inches ignoring any terrain that is up to 2" high. His movement may not end in a place that is more than 2" higher than his starting location. It means that a hero can jump from a building to building, ignoring the gap between them.
-
Heroic Deed - Players may discard a card to add a number of successes to the test for Shooting, Melee or Casting, after the roll is made. Only black cards may be used for Melee and Casting Auras or Buffs. For Magic Projectiles, Attacks and Shooting only red cards may be used. Note, that cards discarded for Heroic Deed may be of another suit than the Hero using it.
Court Cards and Aces add +2 successes to the test. Other cards add +1 success. If both fighting models are Heroes, first model to use the Heroic Deed is the model, who has rolled the least successes, or in the case of tie, the target model. Than they may play cards one at a time. If any player decides to pass, and not play a card, the other player may play any number of them. When both players pass, the number of successes on both sides are calculated.
Before the game pick a scenario, place terrain and objectives, and then make an Initiative Test for deployment.
Universal Special Rules
-
Beginner's Luck - Once per game this model may re-roll all dice when shooting, fighting a melee or being a target of an attack.
-
Hypnotic Aura - Models may not Fence when being attacked in Melee by this model.
-
Move Penalty [x] - when shooting this weapon in the same Activation that the model has already made a Move or Charge Action, model's G is reduced by x to a minimum of 1.
-
Quick - when using this gadget it is possible to perform a Move Action followed by it's Special Action or a range attack at -1 Guns. Reduce G for this penalty after all other alterations.
-
Fast shot [x] - as a part of one Shoot Action a weapon may fire up to x times. Each subsequent shot is resolved at a cumulative -1 Guns. Each shot in one Shoot Action may target different models. Calculate modifiers for each shot separately.
-
Fast strike [x] - as a part of one fight or charge Action a model may make up to x melee attacks. Each subsequent strike is resolved at a cumulative -1 Fight. Each attack may target a different model if able.
-
Fiery Passion - This model has Resistance to Fire [3].
-
Hard to Kill - If this model's W are reduced to 0 and it had more than 1W at the moment it suffered damage, it is reduced to 1W instead.
Character Creation Rules
These rules are intended to allow you to create and develop your own characters for Wolsung Skirmish game. You can either play the game with the named characters we present you in the Clubs section, just your own custom-created characters, or a mix of both. It is however recommended that you use the same number of named and custom characters as your opponent(s). The custom characters are weaker at the beginning, but you can play a campaign with them, over the course of which they will gather more funds and develop new skills. The named characters are complete as they are and will never gain funds or skills during a campaign.
How to create your own Hero?
First, choose a club you want to play with. Check the races available for the club, then choose one of them for your Hero. Some races may have special rules or limitations in certain clubs.
When you have chosen a race for your hero, check his Basic Profile: This is a starting profile for every Human hero. See the golden coin with a number? These are the Funds for your hero - they stand for his overall wealth, fame or connections. These are the points with which he pays for his gadgets, henchmen and skills.
Every hero also has a Racial Ability, which is common to almost every Hero of this race.
All right, don't let your hero run around naked! He will need some magical gadgets and heroic abilities to make fame in Lyonesse.
Every hero must have exactly one profession chosen from the four available for each club. The profession defines the card suit the model has. You may have more than one hero with the same profession in your club.
The gadgets and abilities are organised into Racial and Club pools.
- The Racial pool is available for every hero of their race, no matter what Club he's in.
- The Club pool is available for every hero in the Club, no matter his race, but are not available to a member of any other Club (unless noted otherwise).
Gadgets are further divided into types: Armour, Trinket, Ranged Weapon, Melee Weapon. If no type is given, the gadget is not considered to be of any specific type and can be mixed freely with other gadgets.
When choosing Gadgets for your Heroes you must obey all the following rules:
- Each Gadget (either Racial or Club) can only be chosen once in a Club, unless it is 'common'.
- You may have more than one of the same 'common' gadget in a club, but not on a single character.
- When two heroes have the same 'common' gadget, they may never share other 'common' gadget.
- One Hero may never have more than one Gadget of certain type, for example Armour of Ranged Weapon.
All right, now let's see this on an example:
"I am fielding an Ash and Oak Club and I've chosen Human for the race of my Hero. I have the basic 6 Funds, with which I buy a profession for two Funds and a gadget for 3 Funds. I'll leave the remaining 1 point of Funds and add it to the clubs Funds Pool."
The Heroes you create form the unchanging core of your club's list. They may gain funds, abilities and gadgets, but the only way to remove a Hero from a list is to cross him off and replace with a newly created one.
The funds pool may be used to recruit Henchmen and buy new gadgets and abilities for your heroes. Once a gadget is bought it cannot be removed or sold back. Henchmen can be fired giving full refund between games and you may recruit fresh Henchmen freely before each game, with only two constraints:
- You may never field more Henchmen than twice the number of heroes you field.
- The funds pool cannot be lower than 0.
Races
The race pages below give, for each race, its description, the Basic profile, the Gadgets available (with the Racial ability), and any race-specific weapon tables. Model profile values are shown as printed in the profile graphic on each page.
Humans
Humanity is a very diversified race. Depending on from which part of the world a man comes, the color of their skin may vary from white to dark brown. Their eyes are usually green, celadon or dark blue. However, even dark brown eyes have a slight undertone of green - like water in a muddy river.
And indeed, humans are like water - they get into every crack, fit every free space, collecting all the dirt and scum in the process. They do not fit any stereotype (or you can say, that there is at least one man for every stereotype). They are the essence of the middle class in Vanadia: freelancers, the first ones to follow new fashions or bring curiosities from abroad. Many humans are sailors, travelers or explorers. Human tribes can be also found in the deserts of Lemuria and Sunnir, the jungles of Atlantis or the prairies in Vinland. However, they are not the majority on any continent.

Tall and slim beings with slightly pointed ears, big almond eyes, narrow noses and small white teeth. Elven women usually have a petite figure, and ampler shapes are considered plebeian. Elven gentlemen usually have no facial hair. All this makes men and women of this race not so different in terms of appearance. They have fair hair: from white, through light blue, golden, to light brown or even green. Ginger or black hair, or a beard are an oddity and constitute a strong sign of mixed blood - humans or trolls among ancestors. Elderly elves get more and more detached from the physical world and drift into their memories and constant daydreaming. Finally, every old elf loses the way back, the mind floats to uncharted lands of dreams, while the body lapses into lethargy and usually does not wake up again. It is said that some elves just slip the other side, literally disappearing from the material world. Rumors about the oldest elven families from Alfheim say that under many elven estates there are crypts where ancient ancestors rest dreaming. For centuries, most of the gentry in Vanadia were elves. Nowadays the proportions are changing, but it is still very difficult to meet an elf who would not come from a rich, respected family with a long tradition and ancient roots. The most noticeable elven tribe living outside Vanadia, are the Yakshas - sensual, swarthy, black-haired elves from Dekan. By the way, it is worth noticing that all elves have blue blood. Yes, literally blue.

Orcs
Orcs have a slightly animal, predatory look: sharp teeth, protruding cheekbones, pointed ears, flat noses. Full of exotic charm and magnetism, they are easily distinguished from the Vanadians. This is an old race, that has given birth to both cannibal tribes of Lemuria and the sophisticated ancient civilization of Shang-In. What do they have in common? All orcs are strongly connected to the world of spirits. The majority lives outside Vanadia - in Sunnir, Atman, Vinland and Lemuria, in their own strange societies. Their position changed with the beginning of the colonial era: nowadays more and more young orcs study at Vanadian universities and move to the Old Continent to live there.

Trolls
Young trolls, with their characteristic pointed ears and sharp teeth look like little wild animals and behave like them as well. Adult ones are very tall and well-built. Despite sharp-featured faces and magnetic fiery eyes many consider them rather handsome. Wild-red-colored hair is very common. Old trolls slowly become monsters with steel-strong muscles, thick skin, sharp claws and slobbering bare-toothed mouths. Trolls do not stop growing and with age they can achieve a size inaccessible for any other races. The changes in both the physical and the mental side of a troll are gigantic. Young, adult and old trolls are almost three separate species. Self-reliant from early stages of development, adolescent trolls grow rapidly, only in order to degenerate in the old age. When in their seventies, trolls are nothing more than bloodthirsty mindless beasts. Nobody knows how long a troll can live, most of them commit suicide just before they lose control of themselves forever. Those who do not, end up killed by families, neighbors or the police. Trolls are a race of honor and strong moral spine. Their main aim in life is to leave something behind - earn immortality through their outstanding achievements. They are brave, even daring. Ambitious, even ruthless. Their careers are brilliant, but quick as a flare. Vanadian trolls come from Hrimthorst, but some wild tribes can also be found in the jungles of Lemuria, the steppes of Sunnir or the plateaus of Atlantis.

Ogres
Ogres are really huge - taller and stronger than adult trolls. Some say that they are half animal and half human. Hairy, with disproportionately long arms, prominent fangs and grim faces they are more similar to giant apes than to any rational being. There are no ogre women, every member of this race is male. Legends attribute this phenomenon a curse cast by angry ancient gods. Despite their bestial demeanor ogres have this spark that fascinates and attracts women from other races. If a son is born from such a relationship, he is always an ogre, while the few girls are always the same race as the mother. The civilized world thinks of ogres as beings with a child's mind and a bear's strength. They are usually employed for hard and dangerous jobs. After the War governments made efforts to bring ogres into the society. Their young are brought up in special childcare centers, where, thanks to modern educational methods, they can grow up to be decent citizens. Outside the civilized world, in the northern plains, one can stumble upon savage hunting tribes where the majority of men are ogres.

Gnomes
Gnomes are small and energetic, of the height similar to halflings, but slimmer, with a more dwarf-like appearance. A traditional picture of a gnome is a little man with a long beard and characteristic black and red clothes. Recently more and more gnomes dress according to the common fashion, but only few decide to shave off their mustache. Gnomes are secretive and mysterious folk. For centuries they have been living door to door with the rest of the society, but they stayed isolated in their own world of clandestine customs and rigid tradition. They stick together much more than other races, constituting a separate nation within a nation. You do not hear much about gnomish generals or politicians, but every educated person should be able to enumerate at least a few mages, scientists or inventors coming from this race. Despite their staying on the sidelines (or maybe just because of this), gnomes sometimes evoke aversion or even open hatred in other citizens. And nobody can be really sure how much truth there is in the rumors about their dark rituals. Most gnomes belong to the middle or lower class of the society, but all of them are thoroughly educated. According to their belief, it was gnomes who invented writing. The most honorable members of their walled-in community are the wise men called godi. They study old legends and guard the memories of the race's past. The majority is skilled at writing runes and using the magic hidden in them. Gnomes come from Thule, an island on the Sea of Ice. The turbulent history has scattered them all over Vanadia, from the icy Hrimthorst, through the sunny Coriole and the mist of the Kingdom of Alfheim, to the vast tundras of Morgovia. Gnomes inhabit also every major colony, from Vinland to the farthest islands of Shan-Dekan.

Halflings
Halflings are usually just over a meter tall, with human body proportions and thick curly hair. Gentlemen usually sport impressive sideburns - and promote this fashion in every country they live in. The color of hair and eyes varies, it is equally easy to spot a swarthy black-haired halfling as a pale-ginger with a freckled face. For ages halflings lived off the land, their huge families constituting to the idealized image a quiet and peaceful countryside. Nothing lasts forever and with the dawn of the Magical-Industrial Revolution, this picture changed as well and has now been replaced by the a new cliche: a lower-class con man with itchy fingers. The average life span is almost half longer than human's, but it also depends on the conditions of living. Factory workers working 14 hours a day can expect not much more than an average of 30 years. The countryside changed after the War. Farming was no longer profitable and multigenerational halfling families had to move to the cities and work for a living. Away from their old community, deprived of tradition and their friends' support, they soon blended in an anonymous crowd of workers, craftsmen and thugs. The traditional hierarchy of values could not survive in dirty, cramped tenement houses. Devoid of their tradition, halflings slowly fall underclass or seek shelter in the organized crime structures. Outside Vanadia, native halfling tribes can be found in fertile valleys and deltas of the great rivers in Lemuria and Atlantis.

Dwarves
Although dwarves are rarely taller than a meter and a half, they are usually stronger and tougher than average men. They have dark or black hair, males sporting bushy beards, which strongly contrasts with their characteristic pale complexion. Used to underground darkness, they rather try to avoid sun to which their skin is very sensitive. Dwarves are famous for their self-control and somberness. For a dwarf, the world is just a complicated mechanism which can be measured, analyzed part after part and logically interpreted. They trust the mind, not emotions. Maybe that's why they are naturally skilled at working with machinery and they show unusual tolerance for mechanical or golemic implants. They have always been related to mining, metal processing and trade. Dwarves usually work as technicians, miners or engineers. Many famous inventors, factory-owners or bankers are also members of this race. In some countries, dwarven clans constitute the very core of aristocracy. Those who have chosen military career serve in heavy infantry, armored divisions, or as sappers. Dwarves often hold high positions as officers too. It is not known whether the mountains of Vanadia or the mighty peaks of central Sunnir are the cradle of this race. What is known for sure is that nowadays they can be met almost everywhere, apart from Lemuria and Atlantis.

Clubs
Each club page sets out the club's background, its special rules, the races it may field, its Vocations (the four professions, one per card suit), its Club gadgets, and then its named Hero and Henchman profiles.
Ash and Oak Club
Club activity
Ash and Oak is a world famous Lyonesse club for Extraordinary Ladies and Gentlemen. The club is renowned for its elegant, calm atmosphere, a well-stocked cellar and interesting lectures held in its chambers every month. All the members derive from the social elite. They do not have to be aristocrats or insanely rich industrialists - it is enough for them to be well-born, wealthy and famous.
Location and organization
The seat of the Ash and Oak club is a vast, scenic building on Old Pyre Street, not one hundred meters from the church of St. Berenus, which conventionally designates the center of Lyonesse. The nearest Metropolitan Rail station (Central and Northern lines) - Kingchapel - is just a five-minute walk away.
The current club president is Sir Zachary Fiercebatten. The ghastly old man keeps defending his position with the same sort of ferocity he employed during the Great War when repelling the undead attacks. Still, truth be told, the organization of everyday activities and actual control over the club's finances rests on the shoulders of countless armies of anonymous secretaries and butlers.
Under Sir Zachary's leadership the Ash and Oak club strongly marks its presence within Lyonesse. After all, someone has to keep thwarting the criminal plans of the Triad of Lotus Dragon and temper the bloated egos of the eccentric inventors. There are various reasons why the club members keep engaging in increasingly violent scuffles with other organizations: an innate sense of justice, simple boredom or the need to satisfy one's ego. Unfortunately, the club is not monolithic - conservative aristocrats under the leadership of Lord Oakroot more and more openly compete with the "foreigners and upstarts" gathered around Mary Fearless.
Club Special Rules
- Every hero model in a Ash and Oak Club gains a passive ability "Noble".
- All Elves have an allergy to iron and as such cannot wear any armour.

Inventors Club
During the first World Exhibition in Orseaux many a famous inventor stumbled upon something previously inconceivable - rivals, whose projects could not be scornfully dismissed. A year later the Inventors Club has been established. The official goal of the organization is to expand the boundaries of science, but in reality, the idea is to finally determine who among the members is endowed with the greatest of intellects.
Club activity
Any scientist who independently designed and constructed a brand new, unique invention can become a club member. Of course, they still have to present it before the club presidium and survive the inevitable onslaught of negative comments. Since the prevalent inventions are usually golems or new types of weapons and powered armor, and the ones presenting tend not to respond well to criticism, the hearings of the candidates are often... interesting. The percentage of fatal accidents is relatively low, though, and the club is slowly growing.
Location and organization
The elite organization of megalomaniacal technomages is based in Lyonesse, and that is where the club members arrange presentations of most of their inventions. The establishment's main headquarters is housed in Myrkwood Park of the Windbog district - inside the mansion of Winston Falconwing, Esq. - an arrogant half-elf and club president. While Sir Winston disappeared while testing an astral teleportation machine a few months ago, the rest of the scientists don't seem to mind, as they readily enjoy the abundant wine cellar and cozy rooms of the president's house.
As is easy to deduce, the Inventors Club functions in a delightfully uncoordinated manner. Every scientist has their own idea for promoting science and publicly presenting the latest inventions. Unfortunately, the tests, unsanctioned by the city officials, often get out of control and cause constant clashes with the self-proclaimed guardians of Lyonesse from the Ash and Oak Club. No less bothersome are the incessant attempts by the Triad of Lotus Dragon, which would happily put its paws on some of the more dangerous inventions. As if that was not enough, Lord Falconwing's prolonged absence drags on, and sooner or later the scientists will be forced to elect a new president. That never occurs without casualties.
Inventors Club Special Rules
- Golem - If model with that skill by any reason starts its activation over 12" from any model with Scientist skill they must spend Move until they are within 12" of any of such models. During their activation Golem model must always remain within 12" of any Scientist model. This is called a Control Range. If there are no Scientists present on the battlefield all Golem models skip their activation. Golems have Fire Immunity. Golems are not living models.
- Scientist - the model provides a Control Range for the Golems.
Races Available: Human, Elf, Orc, Troll, Ogre, Gnome, Dwarf and Halfling.

If the farthest point of the template is above the maximum weapon range no further effect takes place but template stays on the battlefield. If the farthest template point is below maximum range make a Ranged Attack against each model touched by the template then leave it on the battlefield. Each model starting its action or moving through this fire template suffers a s1 hit from Fire. Remove this template at the end of turn.

If you hit the target, instead of causing damage roll a D6 and move target model up to the distance rolled in the direction chosen ignoring any terrain. The model may end this Move in BtB with enemy model. There must be a place for the model's base. You may target your own model with this weapon. In that case target's R is reduced to 0 until end of this action.

Triad of Lotus Dragon
Scenes from a hero's life and the in-world vignettes printed beside each Hero and Henchman are omitted as flavour.
Background
No one is sure whether the Triad of Lotus Dragon came to Alfheim from the Dragon Empire or was conceived within the alleys and dens of Shang-Town. One thing is for sure - when the Lyonesse constables acknowledged the illegal lotus trade to be a serious problem, and when they began to venture into the depths of Pothill, they found the sophisticated criminals tattooed with the sign of the lotus dragon already there. Nothing seems to suggest them planning to leave Lyonesse anytime in the future.
Club activity
Officially, what the Triad of Lotus Dragon does is teach martial arts, look out for immigrants from the Dragon Empire and promote Shangese culture. Unofficially, it also deals in extortion, prostitution, art smuggling, industrial espionage and black lotus trade. Pothill residents see no problem with that. The rest of Lyonesse have a different opinion, however.
Location and organization
No one knows the location of the Triad of Lotus Dragon's main headquarters. Their members always appear where they are most needed - or most feared. Orkish gentlemen can sometimes be seen conversing over a mahjong board and a cup of tea. Supposedly Xen Jidao and Mr Cheng always meet up during the performances of the Shang In National Opera. These might be just rumors, however.
Few realize that a fierce struggle for power is taking place within the organization. Xen Jidao and his loyal traditionalists think that the organization ought to work in exactly the same way as the triads in the old country, focusing on lotus trade, martial arts and the "protection" of the merchants. This stands in opposition to the innovative vision of Mr Cheng. Inspired by other gangs, he continues to expand the organization's activity in the field of prostitution, art smuggling and industrial espionage. Sooner or later, the conflict will escalate and there will be blood.
As if there weren't enough problems already with stealing blueprints from the eccentric Inventors and the increasingly violent war with the Ash and Oak Club.
Triad Special Rules
-
Techniques of Sunnir Masters - Each Orc member of Triad has Magic Protection [+1R].
-
Under Cover of Mists - Triads often perform their actions under cover of strange fog, either an effect of deception or lotus smoke. You may have no more Mist Templates on the Battlefield than you have models that can place them. When a model wants to place a new Mist Template, and it would exceed the maximum number of them on the Battlefield, you have to remove one of the markers. At the end of the turn you have to remove markers if their number exceeds the number of Mistmakers.
-
Mist Template - They are 3" diameter markers. They completely block the line of sight when shooting through them, and provide Cover [1] to models within a marker.
-
Mistwalker - In any moment in models 'Movement' action, when model with this special rule is entirely within a Mist Template, you can place it entirely in another Mist Template, then it can continue its movement. The marker he moved from is removed from the Battlefield.
-
Concealed in the Crowd - This model looks like a typical Orkish Lyonesse citizen, so it cannot be easily distinguished as a Triad member. It can only lose its Crowd Token under one of three circumstances:
- it attacks an opposing model
- it ends its activation within 3" of an opposing model
- opposing model ends its activation within 3" of it
A model with a Crowd Token can't be a target of any Shooting or Melee Attack and cannot be targeted by spells.
Races Available: Orc. May have up to one Human, Elf, Troll, Ogre, Gnome, Dwarf and Halfling. You may never have more Heroes of other races than you have Orcs in a Triad club.
