Fireballs &
Explosives

​

Only Artificers, Mages and Clerics can use fireballs/explosives

​

Casting and Effect

• Fireball/Explosives kill you if they hit any part of you (like a war machine missile). 

• To cast a Fireball/Explosive you need to:

  • Stand tall, and hold the Fireball/Explosive above your head in one hand and your Casting Item in the other while reciting a minimum 10 word lore appropriate incantation.

  • Secondly, throw your Fireball/Explosive overarm, taking no more than 3 steps. 

  • Thirdly, draw a Runestone from your pouch but don’t check what it is.

  • Check which Runestone was drawn:

    • Success: You are good.

    • Failure: You are caught in the blast. You are immediately reduced to 0 Wounds and are mortally wounded/dying.

• Additional Note: If you are struck while creating a Fireball/Explosive, the effect/Spell automatically fails and, as well as losing a success stone, you are dying/reduced to 0 Wound Points.

 

Maximum Number

• The number of fireballs/explosives an Archetype may have at a battle will be set by the game or event.
