Most common questions

Each character, Monster or Adventurer, can perform their actions in the order of their choice. (page 5 of the rulebook)

Example: The Warrior moves, the Wizard casts a spell to improve the Warrior’s attack roll and finally the Warrior attacks a Monster. 

Note: To get started, it is recommended that you play in a specific order. 

When you finish a quest or during a campfire, you can gain levels. During the leveling process, the application asks you for the number of experience points you have on your character sheet. If you gain a level, the application will announce you the different gains (maxPV, maxPS, maxPM, weapon rank, protections rank, new skills, new Spell field, etc.) (page 13 of the rulebook)

Note: After leveling up, remember to note the number of experience points remaining on your character sheet.  

Note : Après le passage de niveau, pensez à bien noter le nombre de points d’expérience restant sur votre feuille de personnage.  

When you have completed a quest and the “End Quest” button appears, you can continue to explore and search the dungeon. Beware, this is at your own risk! Other monsters and traps may appear! We leave it up to the players to decide if they should clear the entire dungeon or finish the quest whenever they want.

But remember: to conquer without danger we triumph without glory 😉

At level 1, each Adventurer chooses one mastered skill from the five basic ones (Adrenaline, Good Fortune, Backstab, Lightning Attack, Riposte).  The Master of Shadows chooses two. (page 14 of the rulebook)

Then, with each level gained, Master of Shadows and Adventurers can choose an additional skill. Some of these skills have prerequisites (indicated by a lock symbol at the bottom of the card): you must master the skill(s) indicated in order to unlock the new skill. (page 15 of the rulebook)

Example: The skill Opportunity Attack has the skills Backstab and Riposte as prerequisites. You must master these skills before you can learn Attack of Opportunity. 

Adventurers’ abilities are free actions that can be performed once per turn. However, some abilities have a mana cost that you must pay for each time you use them.

Example: The Warrior’s “Tough” ability allows her to roll a black die to heal herself or gain stamina. This ability can be done as many times as you want as long as you pay the mana cost.

The passive skills written at the bottom of each Monster card can be used for free, and without the Master of Shadows having mastered these skills.

Example: Rats and Goblins have the passive skill “Group Attack”. The Master of Shadows can use the skill “Group attack” when they attack with Rats and Goblins, even if they do not master this skill. (page 9 of the rulebook)

At level 1, the Wizard masters 3 elemental Fields (Earth 1, Air 1, Water 1 and Fire 1). The Archer masters 2 Telluromancy 1 spell fields.

The Wizard’s “Disciple of the Arcane” ability allows her to choose three spell fields from all those she has mastered at the beginning of each quest. 

The Archer’s “Telluromancy” ability allows him, at the beginning of each quest, to choose two fields of Telluromancy spells from all those he has mastered. 

The ranges chosen are permanent for the duration of the quest. 

As the Wizard and the Archer gain levels, they can learn additional spell fields that will expand their choices at the beginning of each quest. 

The Wizard and Archer can master (learn) as many spell fields as the application announces when they level up.

When a caster learns a new Field during their level up, the +3 displayed in the application corresponds to the three spells of the mastered Field.

The caster can either learn a rank 1 field that they have not mastered yet, or they can learn a higher rank range (2 or 3) of the school they have already mastered. 

Example: The Wizard has mastered the rank 1 fire spell field. When she levels up, she unlocks the ability to learn a new spell field: she can then learn the rank 2 fire spell field.

Note: In a future update, we will change the display of spell gain when you level up. It will be written +1 field and not +3 spells. 

A character can always cast a spell on himself, regardless of its range.

Just like skills, heroic classes have prerequisites that you must master in order to unlock them. 

Example: To become an Assassin, the Warrior must master the skills listed at the bottom of the class card (Premonition, Elusive, Retribution, Sneak attack).

You can only have one heroic class per character. It is not possible to learn a new heroic class. However, you can find Oblivion potions that will allow you to forget all of your skills and your heroic class in order to learn the ones you want.

The Spirit of Erune is with you today and offers everyone reading this an Oblivion potion that you can add to your character sheet. 

You can search once:

• 4×4, 8×4 and 8×8 tiles 
• a set of corridors connecting two doors.

During a quest, a piece of furniture or a room can only be searched once. (page 25 of the rulebook)

Yes. Attacking from behind does not cause a malus to the defender but is a condition for the use of certain skills such as Backstab which gives a bonus to the attacker.

It is not possible to push furniture. But you can climb on tables and knock over cupboards. Be careful, some Monsters can climb on the cupboards! 

A character is engaged in combat when he attacks or is attacked by an enemy during a melee attack. 

The combat engagement ends as soon as one of the two characters :

– dies ;

– leaves the attack zone; 

– makes a ranged attack on another character;

– casts a spell on another character.

It is possible to be engaged in combat against several enemies at the same time and thus to engage in combat against another enemy, without having killed the first one. (page 20 of the rulebook)

A character cannot make a ranged attack roll on an enemy who is engaged in combat with them, they must in this case make a melee attack with a hybrid or melee weapon. (page 22 of the rulebook)

However, the skill “Point-Blank Shot” allows you to make a ranged attack on an enemy engaged in combat with you.

Example: the Archer moves in close combat with a Goblin, but is not engaged in combat with it: he can make a ranged attack on this Goblin, even if it is in close combat.

On the next turn, the Goblin attacks the Archer in melee. Both are now engaged in combat: the Archer can no longer make a ranged attack on the Goblin.

The health points of the sources of Shadows are variable according to the quests. They are indicated by the Spirit of Erune at the beginning of each quest.  

In addition, in Solo/Cooperative mode, the health points of the sources of Shadows are displayed each time you open the door containing a source of Shadows.

No, when a room is revealed by the Divination Ball, Creature Detection Rune or Will-o’-the-Wisp, the revealed monsters are inactive.

When a Monster appears with an event (Erune event or a search event) and the Spirit of Erune says it attacks, you must immediately place it on the board and have it attack. This Monster can attack again during the Master of Shadows Phase. 

An Adventurer or Monster character can knock down a cupboard on an attached square at the cost of a combat action. Each ally or enemy character present on the four squares in front of the Cupboard must defend an attack of two yellow combat dice.

The lightning bolts of these attack rolls do not give stamina. The cupboard is destroyed and removed from the board. 

Be careful, it is not possible to destroy a piece of furniture marked by an Erune event. (page 22 of the rulebook)

You can store up to 2 potions and/or runes. If you have a potion belt, you can store 6 potions and/or runes.

No, the Erune app is required to play Erune.

Rings are artifacts that you find during your adventures. There are several kinds of rings. You can have as many rings as you want, but you can’t equip two identical rings.

Yes, you can! And with all its random events, items and choices, you can replay a scenario without ever experiencing the same adventure twice. 

The only Adventurer who can set traps is the Guardian, thanks to his Crafty ability. His traps deal one yellow die of unstoppable damage when an enemy steps on them.

Some Adventurers’ spells cause pits to appear. When a monster falls into a pit, it takes a yellow die of unstoppable damage and cannot perform any further actions until it is out of the pit. 

It costs 4 squares of your movement roll to move out of a pit.

There is no Terrifying Presence card in the game. “Terrifying Presence” is a passive skill of Major Monsters that increases the cost of any skill used against them by one stamina point. You can find the description on the back of the Master of Shadows’ screen or ask the Spirit of Erune for it.

Concerning “Bloodlust”, it is an ability of some monsters. You can find it on the back of their cards. 

Concerning the bosses, the descriptions of their abilities will be directly integrated in the application in a future update.  

There is no order to activate monsters in Solo/Cooperative mode, it works in steps. First, the Spellcasting Monsters define the type of behavior they will have for this phase. Then, each Monster targets an Adventurer and moves. Finally, all the Monsters attack at the same time. The order in which you make the attack rolls is up to you.

Not at all! You must always take into account the passive skills of each Monster on the board and add the skills revealed by the application at the beginning of the game.

When you enter a room, the monsters always face the Adventurers.

The creature detection rune, will-o’-the-wisp and divination ball are currently being optimized for Solo/Cooperative mode. 

In the meantime, when playing in Solo/Cooperative mode, you can open doors by saying “Your Adventurer opens door X”, not apply events if there are any, and only apply them when Adventurers cross the threshold.

If a Goblin is on top of a cupboard that you knock over, it too takes damage as it falls to the ground. 

But for the more roleplaying among you, we suggest a little rule. The Goblin present on the cupboard when it is knocked down can make a success test with a black combat die. If he gets a Lightning on his roll, he lands without taking damage, on any other result he suffers damage. 

If you are hit by a group attack and you don’t lose any health, you can use the Riposte skill and convert the lightning rolled on your defense roll into lightning damage. This damage can only be inflicted on one attacker of your choice in your melee attack zone.

Warning: Lightning bolts from your defense roll do not generate stamina when you use Riposte.

Yes, the skill “Good fortune” allows you to roll a dice. As the movement roll, trap detection roll and success test are dice rolls, they can be re-rolled thanks to Good Fortune. 

My Archer is attacked by 2 rats. He defends himself against both attacks. Can he use his “Good fortune” skill on each attack? 

A skill can only be used once per action. In this case, the Archer is attacked twice, so he defends himself twice and can use the “Good fortune” skill twice, paying the cost of each use.

You can always defend yourself from an attack as long as it is not unstoppable.

Yes, it is possible to use the skill Group Attack with a ranged character. To do so, you simply add the ranged attack roll to the total attack roll.

When an effect affects more than one Adventurer and they have to roll a die, each Adventurer makes their own roll.

Yes, all Shadow cards you possess are removed when you complete a quest, regardless of the pact you made.

Yes, they can still be the target of melee, ranged and spell attacks.

No: you can only use one weapon at a time… unless you find a weapon that contradicts the previous sentence.

No. Fate point is the rarest resource in the game: you earn one every ten levels.

We recommend that you do the quest campaign in order with the same group of players. However, if you have finished the campaign and want to start over, it is possible to do it again with the same characters. Beware, the Monsters will have a big advantage!

No, there are no difficulty levels at the moment. Erune gets more and more complex as the quests go on, and if your level is too high for a quest, the app will add as many free skills to the Monsters as needed.

Yes, however it is recommended to have at least one melee fighter (Warrior or Guardian) in your team for a better balance.

The skill and spell lists for each of the characters in the game are available in our latest Kickstarter news.

We will soon make the map of Erune available in high definition on the website.

Some items have been added, it’s up to you to find them! 

Mid 2022 we will make available on our website a form that will allow you to propose your own objects and events as well as the list of objects present.

The STL files unlocked in stretch goals during the kickstarter campaign will only be available to kickstarter backers. Please be patient: we are doing our best to provide you with STLs that match the game’s furniture.

This is not possible in this version.

This is not possible at the moment, we are actively working on improving the application and will add in future updates a feature that will allow you to choose and change your music during the game.

This feature will be included in a future update, we are currently working on it.

This is not planned at the moment, but we are considering developing a web application of Erune if many players ask for it. We’ll keep you posted on the progress of the project!

This feature will be included in a future update, we are currently working on it.

This is not possible at the moment, but we are actively working on adding this feature! This will be the subject of a future update.
