AltarQuest Conversions to HeroQuest

[JCool]

Consolidating what I started in another post. This thread will be a repository for all Hero and Monster conversions from AltarQuest to HeroQuest. I've used the Skillcard mechanic to help bolster the heroes and make them unique, trying to preserve the spirit of them from AltarQuest but making adjustments to fit into HeroQuest.

Below are the Heroes in no particular order (apologies for the formatting). I'll work on the Monsters next and update this post as I have some ready. Note: It's recommended that some heroes be saved for after the main questbook has been completed.
