Static vs Rolled Stats​

Static stats are fixed values. They do not change unless a card or effect explicitly modifies them: Max HP, Range, Relic Slots.

Rolled stats use dice and are rolled only when instructed by a rule, tile, or card: Movement Die, Attack Die, Ether Die.

caution

Dice are not rolled automatically each turn. Roll only when something tells you to.

HP & Health​

  • Characters begin each game at Max HP
  • HP cannot exceed Max HP unless a card explicitly allows it
  • HP cannot go below 0 — excess damage beyond 0 is ignored
  • Healing restores HP up to Max HP only

Scenarios or Campaign effects may override starting HP and will explicitly state when they do so.

Ether​

Ether is a numeric resource tracked individually by each Player. Ether totals are public information.

Gaining Ether — Ether is gained only when explicitly instructed:

  • Revealing an Ether Tile
  • A card or effect that says "Roll for Ether"
  • Monster defeat rewards (as defined on the Makri card)

When instructed to roll for Ether: roll your Ether Die and add the result to your total. Ether is not gained automatically each turn.

There is no maximum Ether cap. Ether can accumulate without limit.

Modifiers​

Permanent modifiers come from equipped cards and remain active as long as the source is equipped or in play.

Temporary modifiers come from effects or abilities and last until a stated condition is met. They expire automatically.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all modifiers stack and are cumulative.

Example: A weapon that grants "+1 Range when you attack with this weapon" applies only to attack targeting. It does not apply to non-attack effects.

Relic Slots & Equipped Cards​

Relic Slots represent the maximum number of Persistent cards a Character may have equipped at once.

  • All equipped Persistent cards occupy Relic Slots
  • Weapon and Armor slots are dedicated and count toward the Relic Slot total
  • Example: A Character with 6 Relic Slots may have 1 Weapon + 1 Armor + 4 other Persistent cards

If you exceed your Relic Slot limit: You must immediately discard one equipped Persistent card. It goes to your discard pile.

Visibility​

All of the following are public information by default:

  • Character stats
  • HP totals
  • Ether totals
  • Equipped cards

Player hands are private. Game modes may allow or restrict information sharing.
