INTRODUCTION Each player recruits a group of immortals seeking to gain power over other such groups. Based on the Dungeons & Dragons RPG rule set “Wrath of the Immortals”. These associations of Immortals are variously known as Groups, Cliques (informal), and Councils (formal). VICTORY Be the first player to control 100 power points worth of Immortals & Resource cards or Reduce all of your opponents to zero power. ALIGNMENT Each player at the start of the game picks an Alignment: Neutral, Lawful, or Chaotic Neutral players can recruit Immortals of any alignment. Lawful players can only recruit Lawful or neutral Immortals. A Lawful player may recruit one Lawful Immortal in recruit phase (as an event) without expending a plot counter. Chaotic players can only recruit Chaotic or neutral Immortals. An Chaotic player may recruit one Chaotic Immortal in recruit phase (as an event) without expending a plot counter. TOKENS & DICE NEEDED Plot Tokens Neutralization Tokens Twenty Sided Die SETUP Each player starts with a hand of 5 random cards. Players cut the deck and compare power values of cards. High value goes first. Each player starts with one Hierarch Immortal in play of their respective alignment. THE DECK Players share a common deck. The Deck has 4 types of cards mixed in: 1. Immortals 2. Plots 3. Powers 4. Resources IMMORTALS Represented by cards. These are the ‘Gods’ each player controls. Each Immortal has 6 Characteristics: 1. Name 2. Alignment 3. Sphere 4. Form (Race) 5. Level/Title 6. Power Points There are 3 Alignments: Neutral, Lawful, and Chaotic There are 5 Spheres: 1. Matter (Earth, Polymaths, Monsters) 2. Energy (Fire, Paragons, Magic, Wizards, Elves) 3. Time (Water, Dynasts, Clerics, Druids, Paladins, Avengers, Dwarves) 4. Thought (Air, Epic Heroes, Fighters, Halflings, Mystics, Thieves) 5. Entropy (Void, Undead) Forms are many and varied. There are 6 Levels: Level Title Base Power Points 1 Initiate 1 2 Temporal 2 3 Celestial 4 4 Empyreal 7 5 Eternal 10 6 Hierarch 16 RESOURCES Represented by cards. These represent things that give the Immortal extra power such as: Followers, Worshipers, Priests, Pet Monsters, Adventurers, Artifacts, etc. POWER CARDS This type of card represents abilities of an Immortal or Resource that give a Boost to a sides power levels during a Foil Plot Attempt. PLOT CARDS Not to be confused with Plot Tokens. These represent actions or events that may have a variety of results. These do require the expenditure of a Plot Token to play. Plot cards are played in Destiny phase unless the card specifies otherwise. TURN SEQUENCE Players take turns. Each turn has 4 phases: Plot Phase Recruit Phase Fate Phase Destiny Phase PLOT PHASE Put a Plot Token on each of your Immortals that does not have one already. (An Immortal may never have more than one plot token at a time) FATE PHASE Draw one card & put it in your hand. You may discard a Plot Token from one of your Immortals to draw an extra card. (this is called Plotting) Maximum hand size is 7 cards. Discard excess cards. If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. RECRUIT PHASE You may discard a Plot Token from one of your Immortals to put an Immortal card or a Resource card into play. (This is called Recruiting) Immortals and Resource cards are played face up on the table in front of you. Resource cards are ‘attached’ to (placed partially under) the Immortal that used up the Plot Token to gain the resource. If you have no Immortals in play (Neutralized Immortals do not count) you may recruit an immortal from your hand for free. DESTINY PHASE You may discard a Plot Token from one of your Immortals to play a Plot card. (This is called a Stroke, or Striking) FOIL PLOT ATTEMPT Whenever an opposing Immortal discards a plot token to perform an action, (Plotting, Recruiting, Striking) you may attempt to foil the action. To attempt a Foil, one of your Immortals must discard a Plot Token. Both players must then determine their own Power Total. Power Total = 1D20 + the Power of the Immortal + the power of all Resources attached to that Immortal + The power of any Power cards played. (play Power cards before the dice roll is made) The side with the highest power total wins. (Reroll ties) If the Foiler wins, the action is negated and any card that was to be played is discarded. If the target of the foil wins, the action succeeds.
