New HeroQuest Heroes

I adore HeroQuest. It is, hands down, my favorite boardgame. Here are some of the Heroes I've written up since acquiring my own copy (which took years and the help of eBay).

Clerical Magic

Clerics know 4 Divine Spells. They have 6 Spell Tokens. To cast a spell, a player spends a Spell Token as an Action.

· Cure Wounds: This spell may be cast on any one Hero, including yourself. The angels smile upon you, and restore up to 4 lost Body Points. You can never be healed for more BP than you start with.

· Guidance: When you cast this spell, choose an ally. They can make an action immediately after you cast this spell.

· Guardian Angel: Choose an ally. They get a re-roll token. At any time they may spend that token to re-roll a failed dice roll. Note that if the character does not spend the re-roll token within 6 turns, they lose it.
