After hooking us up with an excellent narrative scenario, guest writer J.J. is back again with a terrific system for creating and leveling custom Heroes in Kings of War. I can’t wait to give these a try! – Greg
Hello Folks!
It’s J.J. again. Had another random idea. I have always loved playing DnD and other various role playing games especially watching a character progress and grow in power. I thought what if you tried to do this in Kings of War. This could be an addition to a campaign. Below is a possibility of the powers and ways to level up one’s created characters. Hope y’all enjoy it.
Ways to gain experience and amount of experienced earned:
- Killing a Unit- 15
- Killing a Hero- 5
- Killing a Monster- 10
- Helping to kill a Unit- 10
- Helping to kill a Hero- 1
- Helping to kill a Monster- 5
Experience needed for each level:
- Level 1- 0
- Level 2- 5
- Level 3- 10
- Level 4- 15
- Level 5- 25
- For every level beyond 5th the amount required for the next level by doubling the experience from the previous level.
