I'm thinking of a fairie or wisp.

[mako-heart]

A playable charater with 3 bp and a very high natural amour thaco. traps are uneffective. potions are doubled. elixer of life means two lives.. elaborate or hate the idea i think a wisp would enhance the magical experiance of HQ. I have to imagine other GMs might enjoy a concedied/selfmotivated character in the party to create a deeper experiance. i.e. you could write items in to bait the wisp to ditch the party, yet the wisp gets back to the party and uses the new abilty/item and saves the party. but still all the other players think it was shitty to ditch for loot. just an idea let it be known i don't really care, whatsmore is that i will probably make a faire for people to play with . In my option HQ only has one weakness, its lack of heros. i'm sorry if that is too much.
i've had a few dwarf draughts .

I had a game at my house this weekend and had six players but i felt as if the hero choices were still limited i had 8 playable heros and i think i need at least 10 this is my goal for 2014 . I 'm going to need some real help with this ... Looking at you Chaoticprime All thoughts and suggestions are gladly welcome. With that said some ideas i've had was something like 3 die for movement, ability to dissapear on a skull , Fairy glamor your basic charm monster spell, monster rolls mind point def with the red die 5 or 6 and the spell is broke. Fairie rage plus 1 to atk cannot defend that one atk. just some ideas. 5bp 1 atk 4def 4mind cannot wear any equipment cannot carry more than three items at anytime and cannot carry more than 100 gold, all skills can be used twice per quest
Thanks Ye Olde Friends,
If anyone knows of a better mini let me know because i will be starting this project very soon, I like the one from above its reaper
am i way off or is ten playable heros too many options? oh and she can fly so can not trigger spear and pit traps.

I have had passing thoughts abut using fairy heroines for HQ.

This Hero would require some unique items to give it power on the long run. The ability to generate potions and lesser artifact treasure (like Dust of Disappearance) at the cost of gold could make this Hero more attractive to play, but that is just a rough thought. Although, with that ability, it might not need that may spells (just 3 spell groups instead of 4, just like the Wizard) This is not play-tested, so play at your own risk.

Sylph You are an enchanted spirit of nature. Although weak in form, magic comes naturally to you. You can cast all four spell groups, but your cannot wield any weapons or armor (an unarmed attack requires a White Shield to hit). Given your strange nature and blinding beauty, you may defend with Black Shields, along with the usual White Shields. As you can fly, you do not set-off normal ground traps (pits, spears, falling blocks, etc.), and you are not effected by open pits (you may freely move into or out of a pit as a single space). You can however, set-off furniture traps as you are touching stuff.

I like you ideas. I meant the Fairie has 4 spells not four spell groups and not the base spells of the game system . Four spells that can be cast twice all new to the heroquest world. I don't think the item making abillity is where i want to take this new hero. I'm modeling this character off of Oona from legend the movie. I like the idea of monsters atk for one less combat die and i like the idea of def with both Shields. This project is going to happen. We just need to figure out some base stats and spells/skills. I'm leaning towards the Fairie Glamour spell"Charm" basicly, Fairie magic Spell "Shrink" un-able to be targeted by weapon atks Cannot open doors can atk"bite" on a monster shield for 1.Fierce Fairie Add 1 atk to combat result cannot defend. Thats all i got so far, I don't plan of fininshing this today or even in this thread thanks for your thoughts Malcadon. I think i will give her atleast an Awl for a rudementary Rapier. still base atk 2

I guess this idea is of no interest to anyone, I will hammer it out and then amaze...

You're jumping to conclusions here...
I follow this thread with great interest, and I don't think I'm the only one. That I have nothing to contribute doesn't mean I don't like it.
Nice mini, by the way, Malcadom!
And I also like the idea of basing the character on Oona - Legend is one of my favorite movies (in fact I would put it on place three, just behind the original King Kong and Metropolis, and that's something). It got fantasy right, for once.
