fexen: If there will be no starting potions, why not just change Duplicate Potion to something like "Conjure Potion" so it would create a 5HP potion instead?
Rodzaju: First of all, 4 people WILL start with potions.
Second, it could come down to mage vs rogue.
In this circumstance, rogue may well not do more than 5 points of damage.
Mage can conjure potion, heal himself & then hit rogue.
How can rogue win?
1. Coat in Poison
2, Pilfer Potions
3. Mage only has 3 uses for potion
But I'm still leaving it as "duplicate" rather than create, because the Mage can get the "create" one next game, it's a new spell that creates slightly more powerful potions.
stoicsentry: AGHHHH I just wrote a long post and it disappeared somehow!!!!
WhiteElk: I hate when that happens! For some sites I'm in the habit of copying my post to clipboard before posting. Sometimes I write the posts on a text editor then copy/paste to the forums.
I only used Wesnoths editor to make the grass part of the board (
one could also add forests, hills, rivers etc with it)). Then I used The GIMP to draw the grid. Then MS Paint to fatten the grid lines. Then back to GIMP for the grid coordinates and to place the player icons.
Having player data on the board would be a nice touch, but isn't strictly needed. If you were going to do it: I'd suggest making a master template first. Your template will have everything on it except for the stat values themselves (
and the unit icons). Each turn make a copy of the template, then just fill in the blanks.

GIMP ~ GNU Image Manipulation Program: a free image editor
Notepad++ a free text editor (
and much more)
Attached is a copy of the blank game board. I don't know what you guys think of it. Or anybody wants to use it. But there it is if you do.
Thank you for all the info. I'm going to add terrain factors for game 3, definitely.
Whenever you guys feel ready to go, again, make up your characters (the 1 weapon and the 2 skills/spells) and I will post the storyline.
