Stake a Claim

March 2018·pp. 106–109

THE SHORT VERSION

Kharadron captains race Frigates and Ironclads towards an aether-gold claim in this standalone minigame. Players secretly divide twelve dice between priority, movement and combat, balancing speed against initiative and opportunities to disable rival vessels.

Damage removes dice from future allocations, so recklessness can reduce both a ship’s capabilities and its final score. Boarding, weapon profiles, engine mishaps and three scored rounds make arriving first only part of the calculation, with surviving machinery also worth victory points.

Anvil of Apotheosis: The Collegiate Arcane

This Cities of Sigmar hero creator builds a custom Collegiate Mage for Path to Glory, with permission required to bring the character into other games. Apprentice, advanced and archmage budgets determine the available destiny points and game points; a basic human wizard then gains an origin, an optional flaw, a bespoke spell, a companion and further upgrades. Flaws deliberately free points for other strengths, making a frail or reckless eccentric as viable a starting concept as a disciplined battlefield specialist.

Make a Spell

A modular spell builder lets the player decide whom a custom Battlemage targets, how far the spell reaches and what effects it combines. Damage, healing, concealment, slowed movement, flight and weapon enhancements carry different destiny-point costs, while choosing a harder casting value can recover points. The resulting ability is recorded on a blank spell template and given a name and background that suit the mage’s personality.
