Adventurers

Still being decided

Recruiting, classes, levels, hearts, mood and injuries.

Not settled yet, so expect this to change.

Recruiting

Recruit an adventurer at the Hall and give them a name.
Each keeps a record of what they have done: rifts cleared, bosses beaten, the worst injury survived.
The Hall's level sets how many adventurers can live there.

Warrior: A wide sweep close up, and a short charge. Available from the start.
Ranger: Fast, with a bow, and a dodge. Researched.
Wizard: Slow bolts that pass through enemies, and a short teleport. Researched.
Valkyrie: A spear, and a shield that blocks from the front. Researched.

Adventurers level from 1 to 99. The Hall's level caps how high they can go.
At first only clearing a rift gives experience. Later Hall levels add experience for monsters, orbs and shrines.
Reaching the top takes months of steady play.

An adventurer starts with 3 hearts and can reach 20.
Hearts come as slivers, 8 to a heart. Bosses sometimes give one, and secret rooms can hide one.
An adventurer's level limits how many hearts they can hold. A sliver found above the limit waits until they level up.

Hearts lost in a run stay lost until the adventurer heals. A run started hurt starts with fewer hearts.
Healing takes time and rest at the Hall, and coffee. Bandages and poultices heal faster.
Coffee and rest keep mood up. A happier adventurer hits harder. Mood never drops to nothing.
Furnishings for the Hall help while you are away: a bed heals faster, a hearth keeps mood up, and a practice dummy for each class gives a little experience every hour.
