  • DND Dnd Is a Standard Laserforce Mission, Where Adventurers Can
    DND DnD is a standard Laserforce mission, where adventurers can become a Warrior, Thief, Cleric or Mage. Each character class has its own strengths and weaknesses. Each adventurer starts with a certain amount of hit points (HP) and toughness (TG). Every time an adventurer is zapped they lose a single point of toughness. If their toughness is reduced to zero, the adventurer has been defeated, their battle suit will be deactivated and the adventurer will lose a hit point. Should their hit points ever reach zero, the adventurer is eliminated (unless however, someone is able to use the Resurrection spell) As the game progresses and the adventurer earns experience points (XP), the player will grow in their experience level for that class, becoming stronger and gaining extra powers as they advance. As the adventurer goes up in experience level their hit points, toughness and shot speed increase. The Warrior’s abilities increase the fastest as they go up levels, followed by the Thief, then the Cleric, and the Mage’s abilities increase the slowest. Classes: Warrior The Warrior is the simplest class to play. The Warrior is tough and becomes stronger in a stand-up fight faster than any other class. The Warrior’s only special ability is the Cure Light Wound (CLW) potion, which they get as they advance in experience level. Unused CLW potions accumulate as they advance. To use a CLW potion the Warrior simply holds in their trigger. This restores their hit points to full and will reactivate the Warrior if they were deactivated. Thief The Thief is slightly weaker in normal combat than the Warrior.
