[Quest pack] [13 Quests] - Champion de l'Empire

[chaoticprime]

• Quest 10 note B potion of Will - is this the potion of resolve mentioned on page 2
  potion of velocity - should this be potion of speed? I don't know what this is called in the NA version or if it even exists.
  
• Quest 11 note a - no squares are marked with an X on the map, they have been replaced by Hero icons. If the Hero icons stay I think a note should be added to make clear where the Heroes begin this quest.
  
• Quest 11 note e - potion of velocity again.
  
• Quest 12 note a - potion of will again.
  
• Quest 12 note c - potion of velocity.
  
  

I asked ghan about the potion of velocity. His reply:

la potion de vitesse permet de lancé un dé supplémentaire pour bouger

Google Translate:

the speed potion allows launched an additional die to move

So I worked up this:

   Potion of Velocity

Drinking this silvery mixture grants
you exceptional speed. On the turn
you drink it, you may roll an
additional red die when you move.
This card may only be used once.
Do not return this card to the deck.

That should probably be changed to "Potion of Acceleration." In keeping with the style convention introduced by the Strength Potion, drinking this potion would cause you to gain plus 50% velocity (a third die). Assuming you don't get torn asunder, like how that would probably go down, you should still gain far more benefits that just running faster. "Acceleration" or "momentum" would make more sense. Or skip the science and call it something mystical-sounding like "Longstriding Potion."

Since I was the one who suggested a components section, I have begun a mockup to be placed above Playing Champions of the Empire. Of course, layout and art is only for demonstration and should be redone. I plan to simplify the table format, but wanted to post what I had started.

All components should be carefully cut from the printed
cardstock. New game components are described below and at
right.

YOUR CONTENT-1	YOUR CONTENT-2	Large Portal Some Quests feature this prominent doorway. The large portal cannot be blocked by a lone figure that occupies 1 square.
YOUR CONTENT-1	YOUR CONTENT-2	Pillar Pillars are new furniture. Blocked square tiles can be substituted, if desired.
New Components Large Portal Assembly Take 4 plastic door stands from the Game System. The 2 new doors in this Quest Pack should be cut away where the bottom tabs meet, so that each door can be folded and fitted into 2 door bases as shown at right. These doors are described above right.		YOUR CONTENT-7	YOUR CONTENT-8
Pillars Assembly Cut each pillar so that a vertical white tab extends on 1 edge. The pillars should be scored vertically 4 times, then folded. Glue the tab to the inside of the opposite edge.		YOUR CONTENT-11	YOUR CONTENT-12

That's the kind of stuff I be needing.

I'm in agreement with chaoticprime on this one.

[knightkrawler]

I've always hated the sound of "velocity".

[Teldurn]

I've always hated the sound of "velocity".

VELOCITY

[Goblin-King]

Is there a reason it's not simply named Potion of Speed? Seems the most obvious to me?

[knightkrawler]

I hated the sound of "Speed".

Dude, there's a Potion of Speed in the game system. Duh!

[The Road Warrior]

I don't think the Potion of Speed from the EU game system appears in the NA game system (feel free to correct me on this). There is a potion of speed in the Mage of the Mirror but it does something completely different to the EU potion of speed. Ghan's original french version gives out a Potion de Vitesse. a potion with this name appears in the French treasure deck and is identical to the EU potion of speed. Just to complicate things further Ghan gave Daedalus a slightly different explanation for the effects of this potion so...

I think Daedalus has used a different name due to these incompatibilities between the two versions but it is probably best if he confirms this himself.

[Daedalus]

I was using Google Translate (vitesse=velocity). I didn't want speed because it was already used for potions of different effect. I have no problem with a new name, if it remains true to ghan's intent. Some suggestions, in order of my preference:

1. Potion of Swiftness
2. Potion of Haste
3. Potion of Fleetness
4. Potion of Pace
5. Potion of Hustle

[Sjeng]

1. Potion of Hustle

I'd go with option 1 though

[Daedalus]

That's sick, man.



Potion of Swiftness is cooler. I checked out a thesaurus page for some quick options, and it jumped right out. Hustle was a weaker entry I included so I didn't have to think too much about the choice myself. Hustle smacks of D&D. And disco.
