Truestone

[Niall]

How does this work in Heroquest?

Lets say my starting character has a chunk. Can other characters fill it with a runic ability?

(Law) Truestone 13.

You can do with it what ever passes a credibility test (or make the Game Master laugh in my case). At 13 you can only augment with it, you can’t do anything overtly magical until you reach 1W. At 1W I’d like to hear how YOU use it. It doesn’t have any game mechanics like RQ2.

My ideas for it include: Throwing it at Chaos monsters to crush them, keying off any type of magic from it (you have to pay), as a flaw when you encounter Storm Bulls. I’d let you have (eventually) stuff like:

(Law) Truestone 11W
(empty half phase)(death) Grimoire of Lunar Death +2
(empty half phase)(death) Tap combatant
(death) Moon eyes of Death
(water) Great Leap (frog Woman) +3
(Harmony) Merciful Lady Feat (Chalana Arroy) +2

[Niall]

But couldn’t you place it under your own Law Rune, just like a Grimoire.

Law 1W
*Chunk of (Law)Truestone +1
**Crush chaos +1 (I loved that idea)
**Suck magic +1

[David Scott]

Perhaps you could. Although I’d probably make it an independent Keyword as it’s a special magic item.
