Reference profile; check availability

How to use this hero

Home faction: Fortress

Army command · Fortress

Protect shooters and watch melee creatures’ facing. Flanking depends on the actual attack direction. The listed army guides planning, but a mission may change its counts.

What the profile establishes

Specialty · Pugnacious

The hero’s own attack gains 4 damage per level. This does not automatically improve every creature’s attack.

Listed starting skills

  • Rune Magic
  • Defense
Suggested army and further development

The following is our recommendation. Creatures, spells and items must actually be acquired; this does not establish current inventory.

Build further choices around the listed skills and the needs of the current army. Choose equipment for the actual bottleneck: survival, attack effectiveness, mana or movement.

Skills I would build around: Defense · Rune Magic. Match further choices to available ranks and the current army.

Creatures I would consider

Spells for this plan

  • Fire BoltSpell / warcry in the reference profile

    Cheaply hit a key individual target without needing useful area geometry. With Burning, include delayed damage when planning the next target, but do not rely on the disputed exact total for an immediate guaranteed kill.

Equipment I would compare

Compare effect, slot and acquisition conditions on the item card. A suggestion does not establish that the hero starts with it.

Equipment suggestions for the plan (1)

Editorial suggestions based on sourced magic or an army plan. These are not starting inventory or guaranteed finds. Check acquisition, slot and rules on the item card.

  • Ring of ConjuringSuggestion

    Adds one Magic and twenty maximum mana; a Bloodforged component.

    For spells whose damage or duration actually uses magical power. Check the individual spell formula.

Roster and source scope

98 profiles: 89 from seven Acid Cave faction lists including Trial by Fire Fortress and bonus characters, plus 9 campaign profiles: Ivan, six other protagonists, Danan and Malwen. Documented roles and scenario objectives have separate explanations; complete campaign starting values remain under review. Governor bonuses require assignment and the relevant town area. Numerical starting attributes are still being verified.

Development and equipment suggestions are our analysis of the listed profile. A mission may alter the starting state; each relationship distinguishes school access, an actually learned spell and a future acquisition option.
