(13) Rolling Dice

Whenever a die roll is required an Attribute isnamed ndash Attack Skill Magic or Holiness

Character and Monster cards have tables

showing how many of each color Tomb Diceare rolled for each Attribute If no number

appears for an Attribute then no dice of that

color are rolled

Each dice roll with an axe showing face up

indicates a success

Only one Character rolls Tomb Dice unless an

effect states otherwise (ie Adventuring Partyrolls) Some effects state a Target Number

(TN) ndash this is the number of successes required

on the Tomb Dice for a successful roll

Unless otherwise stated ties go to the

defender

Any time an effect raises the Tomb Dice type

for a Character or Monster Green Tomb Diceare replaced by an equal number of Blue Tomb

Dice and Blue Tomb Dice are replaced by an

equal number of Red Tomb Dice All Red

Tomb Dice are automatic successes

Any time an effect lowers the Tomb Dice type

for a Character or Monster Red Tomb Dice arereplaced by an equal number of Blue Tomb


equal number of Green Tomb Dice All GreenTomb Dice are automatic failures

(131) What is an Adventuring Party Roll

If something calls for the adventuring partyrsquos

roll (eg party makes a skill check ) then addtogether all the dice in the party of the relevant

stat The same is true for cases where two ormore characters are rolling a single test suchas traps The effect causing the roll indicates

the appropriate Attribute

2 THE CARD TYPES

(21) Item Cards (Blacksmith)

Item cards must be played immediately whendrawn by attaching them to a specific

Character Item cards provide a Character with

bonuses or new abilities While bonuses canstack (for example there are two rings that

provide a bonus to Magic) no Character may

Attach more than one Item each with the

following traits ndash Armor Bow Glove Helm

Shield and Weapon If there are ever more

such Traited Items in play than Characters theextra Item(s) are discarded

Items on Dead Characters are also discarded

(22) Prayer Cards

These are special cards that can only be cast

by a Cleric or a Character with at least 1 Die

of Holiness If you do not have a Cleric inyour Adventuring Party (or a Character with 1

or more dice of Holiness) you cannot attach or

use a Prayer Card

(23) Tactics Cards (Bar)

Tactics are special cards that can be played

from your hand by any Character in yourAdventuring Party Some can be attached to

Characters while others are discarded after

use

(24) Spell Cards

These are special cards that can only be castby a Wizard or a Character with at least 1 Die

of Magic If you do not have a Wizard in yourAdventuring Party (or a Character with 1 or

more dice of Magic) you cannot attach or use

a Spell Card

(25) Treasure Cards

Treasure Cards work in much the same way asItem cards with one important distinction

Treasure cards can be ldquoBankedrdquo for XP

immediately or they can be attached to aCharacter If a Treasure is attached it cannot

be Banked until the Character returns to the

Inn Be careful however Rogues from otherMercenary Companies can Pickpocket

Treasure Cards attached to your Characters

and then rush back to the Inn to Bank them

Item cards and Treasure cards are not the same

thing Spells and abilities that specificallytarget a treasure card or inn card cannot target

the other For most other game purposes item

cards and treasure cards can be treated alike(eg both can be pick pocketed by a rogue)

Treasure Cards can only be found in Crypts

(26) Trap amp Monster Cards

See 6 RAIDING for more information on how

these cards are used

3 CARD ACTIONS AND EFFECTS

Most of the cards and Characters have textgranting special abilities Many have actions

printed on them ndash optional abilities that can be

used at a specific time

Some cards can be used as a Turn Action or

Battle Action ndash these say ldquoTurnBattlerdquo

To use an Action the Player must meet (or

exceed) all conditions and requirements listedon the Action such as timing number and type

of Tomb Dice a Character can roll and

Adventuring Party makeup Adventuring Partyor Character requirements for using cards will

be listed at the top of the text area of the card

Whether or not the Player uses an action is

always optional Text on cards that is not part

of an action happens automatically with nochoice involved Effects from such text are

resolved before Reacts if timing conflicts

Page 2

8102019 Tomb Rules 1980 v 110


Actions (turn battle react) printed on Inn

cards (spells prayers items tactics) can onlybe used once per player turn (measured from

the start of one players turn to the start of the

next players turn) Actions on non-Inn cards(characters monsters treasure) and non-action

text on any card are exempt from the once per

turn rule (however in this case Reacts can stillonly be played once per trigger)

Card Actions take three forms

(31) Battle Actions

Actions that say ldquoBattlerdquo can be used as a

Characterrsquos or Monsterrsquos action during acombat round

(32) Turn Actions

Actions that say ldquoTurnrdquo are used outside of combat and take an Adventuring Partyrsquos entire

turn to perform Only one can be used per turn

(33) Reacts

Actions that say ldquoReactrdquo can be used any time

the condition of the React applies Reacts are handled in the following order

First handle always happens effects -namely text on the character or monster which

does not have React in front (For example

when monsters are revealed Maelifcorum

draws and attaches his items before any

Reacts get to trigger) Then handle all the

React triggers In both cases start with theplayer whose turn it is resolve that persons

effects then go around the table to the left

until all effects are resolved

Each React may only be used one time pertrigger If there are many different Reacts for

the same trigger they can all be used but each

may only go off once for that trigger A single

character can react multiple times in the sameturn or combat so long as they do not react

with the same card more than once as per rules

above

If a React ability allows you to draw an Inn

card and the drawn inn card also has a reactability that can be played at the same time the

drawn Inn card can be played immediately

This is no different than reacting multipletimes with cards from your hand on the same

turn

Other Parties Cannot affect battles going on

inside a Crypt with a React Spell or Ability

unless a card or power allows you to do soThis limitation is relaxed slightly for the CM

who may have character abilities or spells that

give the crypt the ability to interact with hisown party In other words other parties can

react to when a party enters the tomb or

before a party enters the crypt but not reactto actions happening inside the crypt

If a Character and a monster have reacts ortraits that occur at the same time the monster

has priority The order of resolution is

- Monster traits

- Character traits

- Monster reacts

- Character reacts

Here are some of the more common react

triggers in the order they happen during the

turn

- When your turn begins

- When you enter the tomb- Before you enter crypt

- When you enter a crypt- After you enter a crypt- Before traps are revealed

- When traps are revealed

- After traps are revealed- Before monsters are revealed

- When monsters are revealed

- After monsters are revealed- Before a combat round

- At the start of a combat round

- Before a monsters combat turn

- Before a characters combat turn

- When you exit a crypt

- When you exit the tomb- When your turn ends

Additional Reacts which may happen atvarious times

- Before a character sustains damage- When a character sustains damage

- After a character sustains damage

- When a character is killed- Before a character rolls dice

- After a character has rolled dice

- After a party has recruited

(331) Monsters Using Card Reactions

If a monster attaches a card when being

revealed and the card has a ldquowhen monsters

are revealedrdquo react on it the monster can usethat react For example Ter-Soth can use

Magic Missiles or Wall of Fire if he happensto draw them

If a monster has a React ability that allows it to

draw Inn cards it can play the Inn cardsimmediately Therefore if the monster draws

another card with a react ability that triggers at

the same time as the first it can play those

cards as well For example a monster with

React When monsters are revealed draw 3

spells can cast any spells drawn that say

React When monsters are revealed as soon

as they are drawn

If a monster draws cards when the Monster is

revealed Reacts such as When a party enters

the crypt and Before monsters are revealedcannot be used (as those triggers have already

passed by)

When monsters are revealed Reacts are part

of the reveal phase before Combat If you have

a spell that drafts a monster into your party the

when monsters are revealed phase does not

occur

4 SETTING UP THE GAME

Select a side of the Tomb map to play mdash

Goldenaxe Catacombs or Tomb of the

Overseers If this is your first time playing werecommend the Goldenaxe Catacombs Place

the Character Pieces in the bag for use as theCharacter Pool Place the Inn Board next to the

Tomb Board Shuffle the Item Prayer Spell

the Crypt Deck and set it to the side of the

board There are enough Crypt Cards to have a

deck on each side of the table

Determine the order of play by having eachPlayer roll all seven Blue Tomb Dice The

Player with the most successes (highestnumber of Tomb Dice with the Axe symbolshowing) becomes Player One and selects an

Adventuring Party Marker and places it on the

Inn Board Re-roll ties Play then proceeds inclockwise order

Each Player draws three cards from the CryptDeck Starting with Player One and continuing

in clockwise order each player places a Crypt

Card face down in any of the open Crypts and

then draws a new Crypt Card A crypt is

considered open until it has a number of cards

in it equal to the number on the Crypt Door atwhich point it cannot hold any further Crypt

Cards

Once all of the Crypts are full the Tomb is

ready for exploration and the unused Crypt

Cards are discarded

deathly quiet Irsquove seen weeks go by without a

new face This place grows as empty as a

tomb no pun intended Players draw only

three adventurers from the Character Pool

During the Fat Years Irsquove seen this place

filled with people drink in one hand story in

another Irsquove seen people come and go so

many Irsquove forgotten more faces than I

remember And Irsquove seen a dozen men march

out for adventure in an afternoon hungry for

glory Players draw five adventurers from

the Character Pool and keep two before

returning the rest to the Inn

Character stats and HPs are public knowledge

Players can wander around the table and look at other parties

After each Player has drawn a Character thesecond phase of Tomb begins

(52) Free Actions

Players may take as many free actions as they

would like before taking one (and only one)

Standard Action on a Turn Free actions

991266 Attach items to characters

991266 Move equipment between characters

991266 Heal all Wounds (Inn)

991266 Use React cards

991266 Bank attached Treasures (Inn)

(521) AttachingMoving Items

At the beginning of each Playerrsquos turn (beforeperforming any other actions) the Player may

redistribute attached cards among the

Characters in hisher Adventuring Party ACharacter can attach a bow shield armor

glove helm and weapon but never two items

with traits of one type This limitation applies

to Item cards and Treasures that list traits (the

Treasure must list the trait on the card to have

it apply) This limitation does not apply to Monsters (eg Monsters in a crypt can draw

two item cards due to a special ability and they

may attach both without restriction)

Spells can be shifted between characters solong as characters that receive spells havemagic dice (for spell cards) or holiness dice

(for prayer cards)

Players may not move cards while they are

resolving any Crypt encounters (Traps

Monsters etc) and you may not discard

cards attached to characters ndash unless you are

banking treasures using a card effect or

dealing with too many treasures items of aspecial type (eg if you draw Inn cards or

earn Treasure from a Crypt and you have too

many of a specific type (such as too many

weapons for your party) you may select which

ones to ditch equipping the rest Otherwise

you may not discard an item)

If an attached card is attached only because of

another attached card that gives you an abilityshifting or otherwise removing the card giving

you the ability will cause the dependent card to

be discarded For example if your fighter has

a card giving him one magic and he also

attaches a spell as a result shifting or

removing the card giving magic points will

cause the spell card to have to be discarded If

you are shifting the solution is to shift the

spell card to another character with magic

dice first then remove the magic-granting

attached card last

a) Monsters as Party members

If a monster is somehow a part of your partythey are treated just like normal characters in

every respect - including the ability to equip

items with the same restrictions on charactersequipping those items (only one weapon etc)

Monsters do count against the maximum

party size limit of 5

When a monster with attached cards joins a

raiding party it keeps all attached cards with itunless a card or effect states otherwise

If a Party Monster is killed however you do

not draw a new character from the character

pool and place them in the Inn (this only

applies to regular characters)

Some Prayer Spell and Tactics cards require a

Turn action to use In this instance the Card

may be played in either the Inn or the Tomb Insuch an instance the entire Turn is spent

playing the card

Other cards can only be used as a Battle

Action inside a Crypt In this case one

Character plays the card for his or her BattleAction for the Combat Turn (see 7 COMBAT )

Spell cards can be cast by any character with

at least one Magic die Prayer cards can be

cast by any character with at least one

Holiness die Tactics cards can be played by any character

ldquoReactrdquo cards do not require a Full Turn toplay and can be played in addition to a normal

Standard Turn Action

If a card says lsquokill or wound another character

in a different partyrsquo and the card does not

specify that the character must be in the TombCharacters in the Inn can be targeted Stirges

for example only wound characters who are

in the Tomb and ignore those in the Inn

Unless stated otherwise all Inn cards being

played are revealed and placed in front of theCharacter usingcasting them They are

considered attached to that Character for the

rest of the game and are discarded if theCharacter is killed Cards that are not

discarded can be used again and again

throughout the game Even if a card states that

it is discarded after you use it you must still designate which character is casting the spell

and then discard the card upon use


cards (spells prayers items tactics) can only

be used once per player turn (measured from


next players turn)

Actions on non-Inn cards (characters

monsters treasure) and non-action text on anycard are exempt from the once per turn rule(however in this case Reacts can still only be

played once per trigger)

Any unused Spell Tactic and Prayer cards in

your hand are kept face down

(537) Recruit (Inn)

If the Adventuring Party is in the Inn a Player

may Recruit one Character from the Inn

Board The Character is placed in front of the

Player and added to hisher Adventuring Party

If the Character recruited is a Cleric the

Player draws a Prayer Card If the Character isa Wizard the Player draws a Spell Card If the


she draws both a Prayer and a Spell CardThese extra cards are not attached when

drawn but are placed faced down in your hand

until cast If you gain a Cleric or Wizard in any way other than recruiting (ie Either

from the Inn or from a card that states the

term ldquorecruitrdquo) you do not get to draw cards

for them

A Player may only have up to 5 characters intheir party unless they have a special effect in

play which allows otherwise

When a card says discard characters from the

inn or return characters to the pool theyare not replaced in the inn The inn canbecome bare and this is how it is meant to be

played You must draw spell cards or win

treasures to be able to draft characters from thepool You may also find spells that allow you

to recruit monsters

(538) Return to the InnFlee (Tomb)

An Adventuring Party may use their StandardAction for the Turn to return to the Inn When

a character returns to the inn without the rest

of the party or is killed all items attached tothe character are discarded

Also during Combat the Adventuring Partymay Flee from a Crypt back to the Inn This

can only be done as a Character Battle Action

after a Monster has taken an action notbefore The only exception to this rule is when

a Monster goes last in a Turn as indicated on

its Monster Card

If the Combat was generated by a card rather

than a Raid you may still flee back to the Innas one of your Battle Actions

Once the Adventuring Party has reached theInn they immediately heal all damage and

may choose to Bank any Treasure Cards

attached to Characters (see 8 BANKING) The

Playerrsquos turn ends

(539) Raid (Tomb)

If an Adventuring Party is standing on a Crypt

Door space at the start of a turn they may

Raid the Crypt See 6 RAIDING for more

information

6 RAIDING

If an Adventuring Party is standing on a CryptDoor space at the start of a turn they may

Raid the Crypt by moving their Party Marker

into the Crypt (this is not mandatory unless acard or ability forces them to Raid the Crypt)

If the Crypt is empty the acting Playerrsquos Turn

ends Otherwise the appropriate Player to theleft or right (determined by the symbol ndash- L for

Left R for Right -- on the Crypt Door)

becomes the Crypt Master (CM) and draws theface down cards from the Crypt beginning the

Encounter It is the role of the Crypt Master to

navigate the Raid and make the encounter asdifficult as possible for the Acting Player

The Raid Begins

Raids are resolved in the following order

bull Traps

bull Monstersbull Treasure

All Trap cards must be defeated before theAdventuring Party encounters any Monsters (if

any) and all Monsters must be defeated before

the Treasure Cards (if any) can be Attached orBanked If the Adventuring Party flees dies or

otherwise fails to advance the Raid

unrevealed cards are placed face down back into the Crypt and only the CM knows their

true value

(61) Traps

Parties cannot back out of a crypt after it is

revealed that traps are present The party mustface the trap

The CM decides the order of the Traps

revealing each in turn HeShe does not need to reveal how many traps there are only that

there are traps The CM reads the first and

second lines of the trap telling the RaidingPlayer how many Characters may attempt to

disarm the trap and what Attribute is used The

CM does not reveal the name of the Trap orthe Target Number for disarming the Trap nor

the effect of failing Each Trap Card is

essentially its own set of internal rulesrequiring the Adventuring Party to be vigilant

for the deadliest traps in the game

The Target Number to disarm a Trap remains a

secret for the purpose of the element of risk for

the Raiding Player

Parties can choose to fail a trap roll and deal

with the consequences

The Raiding Adventuring Party selects which

Characters will Disarm the trap Charactersassigned to Disarm a trap must roll a combined

number of successes equal to or greater than

the traprsquos Target Number(s) rolling dice equalto the value of the appropriate Attribute

Page 5

8102019 Tomb Rules 1980 v 110


Example A Trap Card might indicate

Characters 1

Disarm Skill 3

Failure Each Character in the Raiding Party

suffers one Wound

Only one Character may Disarm this trap The

Player rolls a number of Tomb Dice equal to

the Characterrsquos total Skill Attribute (including

Items Treasures and other effects) and successfully Disarms the Trap if three or more

successes are rolled If heshe fails each

member of hisher party suffers one Wound

each

If the Trap is disarmed the Raiding Player

banks the XP from the Trap (see 8

BANKING) This applies even if the Trap was

not part of a normal Crypt Raid

If the Adventuring Party fails to Disarm the

Trap the CM reveals the Trap and announces

the ldquoFailurerdquo consequences of the Trap on theRaiding Party The Trap is then placed into the

Crypt Card Discard Pile (it is not placed face

down back into the Crypt)

This process repeats until no Traps remain in

the Crypt

After any Trap has been resolved the Raiding

Player may choose to leave a Crypt (whetherthe Trap was disarmed or not) without seeing

the other cards in the Crypt If so move the

Adventuring Party Marker back to the door of

the Crypt All remaining Crypt Cards within

the Crypt are returned face down to the Crypt

(62) Monsters

After all the Traps Cards have been resolved

(or if there are no Trap Cards) Monster Cards

are encountered and the Raiding Playerdecides whether hisher Adventuring Party will

continue in the Crypt The party may withdraw

before monsters are revealed and return back to the crypt door If the Adventuring Party

remains Combat occurs

Combat only occurs when an Adventuring

Party encounters a Monster run by a CM

unless otherwise stated This includes allEncounters with Monsters in Crypts as well as

events triggered by Inn Cards Combat does

not happen when two Adventuring Partiesoccupy the same space Adventuring Parties

cannot attack other Adventuring Parties unless

a card effect allows it

See 7 COMBAT for more information on

fighting monsters

(63) Treasure

Once all of the Traps and Monsters are

defeated (or if none were present) the RaidingPlayer receives all of the Treasure Cards from

that Crypt

Treasure Cards must immediately be either

Banked (see 8 BANKING) or Attached

Treasure Cards that are not Banked must beAttached to a Character in the Adventuring

Party

Unless an attached card states otherwise it

only affects the Character it is attached to


thing Spells and abilities that specifically

target a Treasure card cannot target an Inn card

and vice versa For most other game purposes

item cards and treasure cards can be treated

alike (eg both can be pick pocketed by a

rogue)

Whenever a Character is moved to anotherAdventuring Party or another location within

the Tomb all Attached cards move with the

Character If a Character is moved to the Inn(without the rest of the Adventuring Party)

killed or returned to the Character Pool all

attached cards are discarded

during the same combat subject to card one

use per turn rules

same time and resolves any effects of theirbeing revealed immediately as stated on the

cards (first Monsters then Characters in the

Raiding Adventuring Party)

Beginning with the CM the CM and theRaiding Player take turns performing Battle

Actions ( not Turn Actions) until all living

Monsters and Adventuring Party membershave acted Each Monster and each

Adventuring Party member may act once per

Inn Cards that can be used in Combat These

may be used as the Monsterrsquos Action for aCombat Round When a Monster is using an

ability on an Inn Card it treats any printedreference to the word ldquoMonsterrdquo on the card asif it said ldquoCharacterrdquo and vice versa (so a card

that says target a monster now should be

read as target a character in the raidingparty) This action does not count as an

Attack but does count as the Monsterrsquos action

for the Round

If a monster is using a special effect (ie a

spell tactic item ability on the monster etc)

then the Crypt Master gets to choose the target

not the Raiding Player

count as an Attack but does count as the

of another Card effect) a Wound marker is

placed on it In many instances the Player maydecide which Character in hisher Adventuring

If a Character ever dies the dead Character Piece is removed from play and a new

Character is drawn from the Character Pool

and placed in the Inn This rule does not appyfor recruited monsters If there are no more

characters in the character pool collect all the

dead characters and put them back in the drawpile and then draw a new one

and there is still at least one Monster in theRaided Crypt any Inn cards attached to that

monster are discarded Any Treasure cardsthat were used by a Monster remain in the

Crypt The remaining Monster(s) are turned

face down again and placed back on the CryptAll Wounds on monsters in the crypt are also

removed

Once a crypt has been cleared it becomes a

hallway and cannot be targeted by any effect

which targets crypts - so Hold Portal will notlock that door and Displacement will not

move cards into an empty crypt

8 BANKING

cards are immediately Banked by the Raiding

Player (this applies even if the Trap or Monster

was not part of a normal Crypt Raid unless the

effect creating the encounter states otherwise)

immediately Bank any Treasures you found inthe crypt (if you chose not to attach them)

Treasures recovered from Crypts spaces which

say that ldquotreasures have no effectrdquo are stillBanked after the crypt is cleared You may also

Bank Treasures attached to members of your

party as a free action at the beginning of yourturn (if you have returned to the Inn) Banked

Treasure Cards cannot ever be returned to play

score at the end of the game
