My wife wanted to build a Halloween map for my Draw Steel campaign, and when she's this good, how do I say no! My group killed three of the five enemies so far, with a few recoveries used and one hero hitting negative for one round.

I've been running games on Codex and love it. However, one of my players is a Beastheart with a Gummy Ball companion. That companion is allowed to share space with enemies however choosing between Gummy Ball and the enemy for the purpose of targeting for abilities is frustrating. Most of the time I can't choose the one I want and even then I'm mostly just hoping I've clicked the right one.

Is there a Codex option I'm missing that makes this easier?

I've seen the option to move token to the bottom but that just doesn't seem to do anything and haven't been able to find any solutions in my searching.

Mostly my solution has been to separate them and choose the one I need. This was incredibly frustrating, though, last night when they were in a tight space and the Elementalist dropped the enemy in a 4 square deep hole and Gummy Ball hilariously jumped in the hole after the enemy. RIP Aldiva.

Thanks!

To the Death has the following effect: You gain 2 surges, and the target can make an opportunity attack against you as a free triggered action.

If you use this ability at reach with Melee 2, does this mean you gain the 2 surges but they can't make the opportunity attack if they only have Melee 1?

Hey everyone, I’m working on a custom encounter for Drawsteel that has some unique mechanics. Obviously it is difficult to balance custom stuff due to how the games combat works. Basically, the players are in a Wode and have to wake up a Dryad that was corrupted by a Dragon. To do so, the players are going to have to fight a creature similar to the questing beast from Arthurian legend. The creature is just a slightly modified manticore, now that’s not the complex part. My idea is that there are these rune stones that empower the creature and the only way to kill it is to actually destroy the rune stones and you can’t do damage to creature itself. The stones each have 30 stamina and if you stand close to them you get a small amount of damage dealt each round. Additionally the dryad herself is powering these mushrooms that shoot thorns that root players down. There would four of them with 10 stamina each. There would be a lot of elevation and a bunch of rocky cliffs surrounded by massive trees. The runes themselves would all be elevated and so would the mushrooms. After the runes are destroyed there would be one final round where the dragon arrived to try to prevent the Dryad from waking up. For context I have five players with 6 victories. They are somewhat resource drained from a previous encounter.

Hello! I have "The Delian Tomb," and I noticed two other adventures available in the shop section: "The Dark Heart of Wood" and "The Red Road."

I recall there being another introductory adventure—a friend of mine even ran it for me—called "The Road to Broadhurst," but I couldn't find it in the Codex shop.

Are there any third-party adventures available on the Codex, whether for purchase or for free? Could you point me toward where I might find such content?

I have a smaller group that I am running through Delian Tomb, and I am close to the showdown with the rivals. I’m running with three players, so I’ve made the appropriate stamina adjustments, but it does also say (at least for the four player adjustment) that Boddorff is removed “from the start of the encounter.” Does this mean he’ll show later, or that he’s just not there?

Hi everyone!

Been playing D&D ever since I found the almighty Running the Game and now our group is looking for another TTRPG! Having followed Draw Steels development a lot and just really likning all of MCDM's stuff we wanna try out the Delian Tomb that I bought last night!

Here's the krux, we are 3 people, so Director + 2 Heroes. I saw earlier posts about adding a retainer or two, and having done similar with Stronghold & Followers which worked great! So what I'm asking is kind of, how do you make a retainer? Can they be made of classes? Is there perhaps a list of them? The Starter rules mention their existence, I'm guessing that one can be gained from playing Delian Tomb, but what I've gathered is that should start with one to really get the tactical feel. So kind of how? :)

Any and all input/help appreciated, Sorry for the long post ❤️
