Goblins Minesweepers - Hammertime!

Heroism isn't a class. It's an Primary Trait. Heroism grants you guaranteed tokens that allow interaction with other people, but still nothing doesn't allow you to wield a weapon or wield a tool as a weapon.

Classes are Caster, Warrior, or Spelunky.

Putting answers in spoiler tags to make the reply short, but I think it's worth reading everyone's replies anyway for tidbits of information. My weekdays are pretty busy (getting home at 23:00 generally), but I will hold things together, eventually.

@Zigit:

Okay, I will edit that link into my sig for your convenience.

You've chosen [Weapon Mastery] from the level up token. It grants you the following ability:
Dual Shot: Allows you to shoot 2 arrows at the same time, at the expense of using up 2 arrows of your inventory (Arrows can be recollected if they don't break at the target). No cooldown. (Quiver capacity gives a natural limit to it anyway). You can target the same enemy with both arrows, or 2 different enemies on the same or adjacent tiles (provided both are in range).

Not rolling for the bow enchantment yet, I have to organize my stuff first, and I really don't have the time at the moment. Noted the request, though.

@Nerre (replying to your pm questions here too partly)

There is a skill token named [Enchant] which serves the purpose of you manually being able to add one of your skills to any wearable item (see its description in the resources, if I didn't forget to add it.). If you do not have this token, then you can not enchant your stuff, you have to pay the blacksmith to do it. Since the blacksmith is still an apprentice in enchanting, the enchantment will be random. Once he levels up, then you will be able to select what kind of enchantment you want, more or less.

Wands and staves come in 3 flavors when you buy them:
- Type 1 comes with a damaging enchantment, for example +1 ranged fire damage. So it basically works like a weapon, except it's magical.
- Type 2 comes with a spell enchantment, for example [Teleport (1)], and it works as if it would be a normal skill enchantment, like the one Stumbles got in his helmet.
- Type 3 comes with a "reservoir", so basically an empty, enchantable wand/staff without the need of the [Enchant] skill (described above).
You can decide which type you want to buy, but if you want to upgrade them or further enhance by the blacksmith, those will be random.

Trying to craft your own stuff from existing ones is a nice idea, but your character is too low level for that, please wait with those.

If you buy trousers, the interworkings with the boots will go sequentially, starting with the destroyable, from above to bottom. For example:
Case A) your trousers catch fire, saving you from explosion, your boots do nothing.
Case B) your trousers don't save you, which means the boots are activated, propelling you forward. The boots have a 50% of getting destroyed, but the effect is triggered 100%. However, if you happen to land on a mine again with this event, then the boots will not propel you again, but the trousers might still trigger (as they failed first time).

You are a Caster and not a Warrior, so you cannot use weapons. You can buy Type 1 wands / staves though, as described above.

Both offensive and defensive casting is available, the amount of available skills will widen and vary once you hit level 5 and choose your character's further path.

You have plenty of time to shop or to think about, no worries.

As Dave said, "Heroic" is a primary trait, not a class, in that sense it does not affect your current equipment.
What heroic gives you:
- at level up, grants a token dedicated to interact with other players
- when enchanting/upgrading items, grants the possibility to get enchantments to enhance such skills
- allows you to wear a cape in your shoulder slot. (capes are awesome.)
- Once you reach level 5, allows you to choose the path of SuperHero or SuperVillain, which classes WILL have damaging skills, but not spoiling more of it yet.
- other very minor "not-gonna-spoil-it" effect on your character.

Yes, the frying pan is dealing 1 damage to foes if it is utilized as a weapon (you have the [Weaponize] token). I really have to remake the Equipment post there as it remains outdated (I managed to get the other posts before that up-to-date), but it would take time I don't have yet. If something's not clear, ask! Typing some sentences at night is the only thing viable for me at the moment...

Also, question to everyone: Shall I spoil / describe more about the path choosing at level 5, or shall we wait until someone eventually hits it? If I spoil now it won't be that interesting afterwards, but OTOH it could help you planning ahead now already.

[WearsHats]

Ah, I see. Still had the old system in my head. Thanks for the explanation.

Ooo, can the smith make me a neat cape?

I'll probably want a trap defuser.

Still have to decide which token to level up. Hrm.

[Theis2]

I vote no spoiling

[gamecreator]

I agree with Theis.

[Nerre]

As the game is over the levelupgrade-smalltalk does not hinder the game post flow, so I agree too: we can leave out the spoilers for now and save us all some clicks.

[GathersIngredients]

I vote no spoiling.

And, after reading the explanation about how they might both independently work to safe from death while worn at the same time, I'll have Stumbles buy a pair of trousers, on top of the boots.

[LooksAndSmiles]

Okay, please check everyone if this is correct, I bought you / added you everything afaik, based on the posts.

@Jib's charcater's sword recieved the "Parry" ability enchantment.
Parry: The sword can be used defensively as a main action, in which case it counts as +DEF equal to its +ATT. No cooldown.

@Wears, please decide what to buy. Yes, you can have a cape, any color preference? (Also, what tokens? It was Nerre who leveled up, not you, you chose the +1 item).

@Nerre, have you decided which level up tokens to take, and to buy anything?

@Zigit, +1ing your bow means it has now a range of 4. The enchantment you rolled is <penetration>, which means your shots now ignore 1 of the enemy's ranged armor.

I also added the known skill list to my signature, first link. I edited in the weapon abilities you already have, too.

[WearsHats]

I was asking what kind of capes he could make. A +1 cape of something? What might that something be? How much would it cost?

And yes, I know I didn't level up. But I do have that +1 token I never used. I was reminding myself that I should probably do something with it.

[Zigit]

Cool, thanks! Did you forget to put [Push] in my tokens? I though it was available for my char (it didn't say caster only) but if it isn't I'll take Indomitable.

[Nerre]

I take Jump and Teleport.

Is my money (36) enough for this:
offensive wand
healing/divine wand
jacket with random minor enchant
boots

[LooksAndSmiles]

@Wears: A basic cape costs 6 coins, and generally helps heroic stuff. Upgrading it costs similarly to other items, depending on how much you would want to spend. Also, you could keep that +1 tile token separately for combos if you don't want to meld it just yet.

@Zigit: yes, somehow I missed adding that Push token to your character sheet, should be there now.

@Nerre:
basic boots 4 coins, jacket with minor enchantment 8 coins, basic offensive wand 6 coins, basic healing/divine wand 8 coins, you should have enough money to buy them, even to get some upgraded stuff, me thinks. Added the selected skill tokens to the char sheet.

[WearsHats]

Okay, I'll take the defuser and a 15 coin cape.

I'd also vote to continue helping the smith.

If I keep the +1 token I can selectively use it whenever I want with any of my skill tokens? So the only advantage of melding it is that it frees up a slot? Is that right?

[gamecreator]

Can I swap Dodge and Weaponize for Treasure and Visions right now? Because I sure would forget it later.

[Nerre]

basic boots 4 coins, jacket with minor enchantment 8 coins, basic offensive wand 6 coins, basic healing/divine wand 8 coins, you should have enough money to buy them, even to get some upgraded stuff, me thinks. Added the selected skill tokens to the char sheet.

That sounds good, I will take that. What updates would be possible for the remaining money? Can I upgrade the wands? Else the leather jacket.

Can you give me the link to the char sheets? I may be too tired, but I just was unable to find the char sheets. I tried in the first posts of this game, in the recruitment thread and the ressource thread.

[gamecreator]

The character sheets are in the post that mentions them, in tabs after the words "Character sheets" in big letters.

[GathersIngredients]

Swap skill tokens? I don't think we've unlocked that feature (there is supposed to be a skill token slot machine or something in the shop) yet. But if we CAN do this, I'm sure Stumbles would like to make a few changes...

[Jibjib]

Would I also be able to afford some enchanted trousers with 13 coins Looks?

[gamecreator]

Swap skill tokens? I don't think we've unlocked that feature (there is supposed to be a skill token slot machine or something in the shop) yet.

No, I have all those tokens. The first ones I have equipped while I want to equip the remaining ones. I always forget to do it before spawning on a new map. And sure I wouldn't throw away such useful tokens as Dodge and Weaponize.

[Nerre]

I would like to set those 4 active:
Teleport, Warning, Visions, Jump

and keep those two in store for later:
[Return], [Rescue]

I can change them whenever I circle out or are dead/off the map, right?

[GathersIngredients]

Ah, thanks for the clarification, GC.

In that case I'd like Stumbles to swap resist and dodge (into inventory) with warning and visions (into equipped).
