Sword & Sorcery: Immortal Souls

Five legendary heroes return from death as immortal champions to confront a spreading Darkness. Players each control one or more heroes represented by miniatures, dual-sided hero sheets, and customizable decks of powers, equipment and soul resources. A scenario-based campaign drives character growth: heroes gain soul points, unlock new powers, magic and artifacts, and choose between parallel class options on their hero sheet. Enemies are run by an AI activation system that uses encounter draws and enemy-specific behavior cards to create varied, unpredictable turns without a Game Master. Combat and magic use custom D10 dice and a cooldown-based powers system, while death converts a hero into a ghost form able to use a special shout and later resurrect at an altar by spending soul points. The game supports one to five players, modular maps, detailed minis, and scenario play designed for roughly 90-minute sessions.

The perfect dungeoneering game. It has done everything right: the map, the classes, the campaign. The only thing I would say that can be improved is: plastic miniatures are not good quality. I don't mind that much, but they bend a lot. I did not bother to paint them, because of this. Another thing that should be improved is: depending on the adventure, if your fire mage faces enemies with fire resistance, you're fucked. There is no alternative. In my case, I just removed the fire resistance, it just felt unfair, and the whole adventure had fire resistant enemies, while also introducing a fire casting mage xDDD that was fucked up. But nothing that cannot be remediated by home ruling. High replayability. Great enemy design. A lot of content, character classes, etc.

Rules questions

Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.

Do I need Line of Sight to attack an enemy if there's a wall, door or fog between us?

Yes — attacks, items and powers require legal L.O.S.; walls, blocking terrain, external tile edges and some figures can block L.O.S., and vision is limited to 5 areas (see Line of Sight rules and Fog of War). (p12–13)

If I move through or leave an area that contains enemies, do they get free attacks on me?

Yes — whenever you move through or leave an area with enemies you must Evade, and each enemy in that area makes a reaction attack before you can move out; the only exception is if the heroes are dominating that area. (p21–22)

Can I interrupt my Movement to perform a Combat activity (attack) and then resume moving?

No — unless a special effect says otherwise you cannot interrupt Movement to perform Combat and then resume Movement, though you may use Actions or Free Actions while moving. (p14)

What's the difference between an Action and a Free Action — if I use Dash (an Action) can I still attack that turn?

An Action (yellow) consumes one of your limited Action activities while Free Actions (grey) are unlimited; Dash is an Action and uses one Action but does not consume your Combat activities, so you can still attack that turn if you have remaining Combat activities. (p14, p23)

Can I reorganize or exchange equipped items while I'm engaged with enemies?

No — several Actions require you to be not engaged: Reorganize Equipped Items and Exchange an Item both specify the hero must not be engaged in combat to use them. (p23)

What happens when my hero dies — how does Ghost Soul and resurrection work?

On death the hero becomes a Ghost Soul, immediately loses one Soulrank, flips to Ghost Soul form, drops inventory (not equipped items), and can only use Ghost Soul activities until resurrected at an active Shrine by spending Soul Points equal to the hero’s current Soulrank. (p38–39)
