HeroQuest Difficulty Calculator
A downloadable tool
I've been working on the concept for this for a long time, now it's finally here.
My difficulty calculator for HeroQuest lets you put in any entity with any stats to get a calculated number indicating the overall suggested power level for that entity. But it wouldn't be special if it just did that.
So, what it really does is get precise power levels -- prioritizing largest potential number -- of groups of entities, so you can finally get a reference of difficulty to measure rooms of any configuration of monster you want.
After all, two goblins, when faced singularly, each have their own predictable power. But put them in a room together, and the difficulty of beating them isn't just adding the two together!
A ton of examples are included, and plenty of room to add your own entire rosters of enemies and heroes -- the workbook has built-in instructions, support for 14 quests so you can track the difficulty of your homebrew campaign, and even supports monsters that defend on white shields or who have multi-hit attacks.
Everyone knows simplicity is best when it comes to HeroQuest, but this tool is for the over analyzers and overengineer...ers. Like me!
I'm proud of this free project finally being ready enough to share.
This tool may be used to help you track arbitrary difficulties of skirmishes for your dungeon crawl gaming campaigns, regardless if personal or commercial - more details are included in the file.
ONWARD!
