Vitals

"Vitals" are the Stats that govern the life force and intrinsic powers of Heroes and Encounters. While Health and Energy are the most common two Vitals, there are others. Vitals are separate from other Stats in that they have a Maximum and Current rank.

## Health

The Health Vital represents the life force of a Hero or Encounter. When the current Health Vital reaches 0, that Hero or Encounter is defeated.

On the Role placards the Health Vital is colored indigo. The Health Icon is a heart with a heartbeat line through it.

## Energy

The Energy Vital represents the willpower to perform astounding feats or to alter the pattern of the world. If a Hero or Encounter receives Energy damage that reduces them to 0 or less Energy, any excess damage after 0 is not applied.

Heroes use Energy to perform Masteries, some Racial Abilities, and other times when indicated by gameplay. When a Hero's Energy is 0, they may no longer perform Masteries or any actions that require Energy.

Encounters use Energy to fuel a Mastery action. When an Encounter's Energy is 0, or they do not have enough Energy to perform their Mastery action if rolled, then the Encounter defaults to their Attack action, with the numerical damage reduced by half.

On Role placards the Health Vital is colored grey. The Energy Icon is a clenched fist.

### Energy Drain

Damage caused by Energy Drain DOES carry over to Health damage when the target's current Energy is at 0.

## Influence

The Influence Vital was introduced in HEXplore It: The Forests of Adrimon. It represents the willpower and charismatic fortitude of an Encounter. When a Hero causes Influence damage, they are, narratively, managing the situation in a non-aggressive, or diplomatic manner, attempting to win the target over to their way of thinking.

If an Encounter's Influence reaches 0 before their Health does, then the Encounter is considered to be defeated, but not killed. Each Encounter indicates the effect of reducing their Influence to 0.

Heroes may damage an Encounter's Influence by Healing the target. Instead of restoring Health or Energy, Healing reduces the target's Influence by the amount of Healing they receive. Some Roles may also reduce Influence directly through their Masteries or their standard Attack Ability. Healing effects that Influence an opponent are not reduced by their Block or Defend. Opponents cannot affect their own Influence value while Healing themselves.

The Influence Vital is only found on certain Encounters and Bosses. It is represented by a green box between the Health and Energy Vitals. Its symbol is three chain links, with the middle link broken.

Cities

## What Are Cities?

Cities are special locations found in HEXplore It: The Valley of the Dead King. They represent the massive centers of civilization in the Valley, where the heroes can heal, resupply themselves, and turn in Quests. They are also the primary targets for the Dead King in his pursuit to destroy the Valley.

Players skip the Circumstance phase upon entering (stopping movement on) a City.

The full abilities of all Cities, including the unique description for each one and how to free a Fallen City, are available on the City placard, not the game's rule book itself. The list of items able to be purchased in a City, as well as the rules for purchasing Gear Upgrades, are available on the Market placard.

## City Locations

There are six Cities located within the Valley. They are on the four main quadrant tiles that make up the initial map in the beginning of the game. Each City hex is outlined in white and has a number associated with it:

## City Abilities

The following abilities are pertinent to Cities.

* The group may choose to pay 1 Gold (total) to Heal all Health and Energy.
* Heroes may purchase Gear Upgrades and items from the Market.
* The group may turn in all completed Quests.

## Fallen Cities

It is the Dead King's goal to corrupt and bind each living thing in the Valley to his necromantic powers. To do this he must visit each City personally to spread his dark influence there.

When the Dead King moves onto a City hex, that City instantly becomes a **Fallen City**, and a Fallen City token is placed on the hex. When all six Cities have become Fallen Cities, the Dead King is then able to target the heroes.

A Fallen City prevents the heroes' access to any of that City's abilities. If the heroes end their movement on a Fallen City hex, they face the Fallen City! Encounter, which can only be defeated with the use of a Talisman. If the Fallen City counter is defeated, then the Fallen City token is removed and the heroes have access to that City's abilities again. It may also be targeted by the Dead King again.

For every 4 points of the resulting sum, the hero draws 1 random Race and gains that Racial Ability. Whenever a hero uses any of their newly gained Racial Abilities, roll a ten-sided die. On a result of a hex, the hero becomes Tethered. Successive uses of the Cauldron cause the hero to discard previous bonus Races. Only one available per game.
