Characters are playable adventure classes in the game For The King.

Description[]

There are currently thirteen playable characters in For The King. Each one brings a unique combination of skills, mechanics, and playstyle to an adventure, and can offset or complement other characters in the party. Some characters are more suited to a defensive playstyle, reserved for healing or bodyguard roles. Others are better played in an offensive manner, forcing enemies to submit and ending battles quickly. And some require a more subtle playstyle to take full advantage of their skillset, useful in navigating the land or gaining an advantage when attacking an enemy.

Choosing a character[]

When beginning an adventure, players are given the option to include up to 3 playable characters. If desired, players may choose to play with only 2 or even a single character in the party. There are no restrictions or limits on how many of each character type can be included in a party either. Character sheets can be reviewed before locking in a selection, in order to compare base stats, special abilities, or starting equipment.

With the various adventure styles and equipment choices presented in For The King, choosing the most beneficial character is an important step to victory. While most party compositions and classes will usually yield winning results on the Apprentice difficulty level, players will need to carefully select the right combinations at the Journeyman and especially Master difficulties in order to succeed.

Locked characters[]

Other characters will first need to be unlocked for use in future campaigns from the Lore Store, using accumulated lore points:

CharIcon-Busker
The Busker • Locked
The tricky Busker might be considered weak, if ever caught in a fair fight. With music by turns entertaining and distracting, if the battle turns the Busker is also fleet of foot. Performing wherever people gather, this rascal is rarely short of coin.

CharIcon-Woodcutter
The Woodcutter • Locked
The Woodcutter makes for a stalwart ally in combat, swinging weapons with considerable might. Even inanimate objects are swept aside, for an axe can smash as easily through wood and stone as flesh and bone.

Notes[]

Trading between characters[]

Characters are able to trade items, equipment, and gold between one another during an adventure. To do so, the two characters desiring to trade must be on the same hex, or at least no more than 1 hex away from one another. The trade options will then become accessible in the character submenu, and players can sort through their inventories or adjust gold amounts before completing the trade.

Ending adventures[]

Once an adventure or campaign is completed (whether by winning or defeat), it is effectively "over", and those specific heroes cannot be brought into future adventures (they can, of course, be recreated from scratch).

Apprentice difficulty[]

On the CrownApprentice Apprentice difficulty level, all characters will have a +5 bonus to all base stats.
