History TabletopGame / WarhammerQuest

* StrongEnemyWeakReward: Players hate ghosts. While they're nothing for a high level party, these monsters are pretty dangerous for weaker parties as they have a number of special abilities. But the real reason, players hate encountering them is that ghosts uniquely have no gold! So you never get anything for fighting a ghost.

* BarbarianHero: The Barbarian is the leader of the game’s default party, and the strongest close combat skill of the original Warrior characters. The model itself is sculpted to represent a typical barbarian hero with big muscles, [[BarbarianLongHair long hair]], wears nothing but a fur loincloth and a bear-skin cloak, and wields a large broadsword as a starting weapon.

* BarbarianHero: The Barbarian character is the strongest of the player characters in close combat and his model is sculpted to represent a typical barbarian hero with big muscles, [[BarbarianLongHair long hair]], wears nothing but a fur loincloth, and wields a large [[HeroesPreferSwords broadsword]].

%%* KnightInShiningArmor: The Bretonnian Knight can be added as an additional character.

''[=Warhammer Quest=]'' is the SpiritualSuccessor to ''TabletopGame/{{Heroquest}}''. A DungeonCrawling {{Adventure Board Game|s}} set in a version of the ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' universe. Using modular dungeon tiles to create a series of endless dungeons, modified slightly each time to represent a different location for each adventure by placing different obstacles, doors, enemies and fixtures. Up to four heroes -- the barbarian, the elf, the dwarf, and the wizard (Although there were other characters who could be added) -- explore each adventure and play against the other player, who represents the forces of evil and acts much like a GameMaster in that they know everything about the current quest in advance and reveal it as the players advance. The game can be a simple DungeonCrawling game, or it can be expanded to include a role-playing element.

* KnightInShiningArmor: The Bretonnian Knight can be added as an additional character.

* HealingHands: The Wizard Warrior has access to a variety of healing spells that they can use during a game, with each casting level between 1 and 10 having at least one Healing Spell that they can learn. These spells range in power form healing a single wound with Cure Small Wounds, to Heartbeat that can heal a random number of wounds for each of the Wizard’s Battle Levels.

* MagicResistance: Some Monsters that inhabit the dungeons of the Old World have the ability to resist arcane energies. These Monsters have the Magic Resistance ability, which gives them a chance to ignore the effects of spells cast on them.

** The magical blade known as Heartseeker is able to rewind time if it misses its target, giving its bearer a re-roll to missed Attacks.

* SquishyWizard: While that Wizard character gets plenty of spells to cast, he is very fragile and is a poor fighter who can be taken out with a single hit by the stronger monsters if they get close.
