Ranzak will be taking a Weapon 1 to upgrade his Blowgun to a Force Shortbow +1, and a Spell 0 to upgrade his Judg(e)ment Light to a Fiery Glare
He will also be switching his Thieves' Tools back to the original version.
He will spend his Hero Point on a Card Feat, adding an Ally (Reformarium Servant)
That doesn't seem right to me. If we just add those cards to the acquired cards list it would be possible for somebody to end up with no good deck upgrades, not even the "Card 1" they chose, because they rolled poorly on the priority d1000.
I need to make something extremely clear here, and I'll drop out of my BR persona for a bit to do so.
I prefer players to agree on how to disseminate Deck Upgrades between them based on their relative need and interests. The only rule in the Card Guild guide about conflicting interests is, to paraprhase, "if there is conflict, resolve it randomly".
I do have an express preference for players adding 1d1000s next to all of their picks - whether or not the party chooses to make decisions based on them - because it is the fastest way of resolving disputes, particularly if some players are less active than others. If a player is only checking in once every 24-48 hours, and they need to be asked for their preference, then re-asked a question, then two players have a back-and-forth slowly untangling what the other is actually asking for, then Deck Upgrades can take a week when I feel they shouldn't take more than a day.
I say this with experience, and out of politeness I am not linking to former play-by-posts where I have personally seen Deck Upgrade discussions take 5+ days due to unclear communication or inability to finalise decisions, combined with limited ability for players to interact.
===============
In this specific case, I agree it's more fair for a player to automatically get the card they chose to draw, at least. However, there is no hard rule supporting that, and if a player is already interested in 2 acquired cards then I don't want to forbid them from drawing a card for someone else to pick. For example, if everyone but Enora wants a Weapon 1, and she only wants an Item 1 and Ally 0 (for example), I don't want to forbid her from drawing a Weapon 1 for someone else - nor does the intended reward (that has been described to me) prevent that.
More importantly, it's up to you guys to define fair - I'm here to oversee the rules and progress the game and answer questions. I will only mediate debates as a last resort, not as a core BR role.
For Radovan's upgrades:
Ally 1. Adding Rodrick, swapping out Silver Balladeer.
Armor 1. Adding Burglar's Buckler, swapping out Red Leathers.
Also: replacing (banished) Noxious Bomb with Noxious Bomb.
Starting location: same as Ranzak.
Ranzak might find his Card Feats easier to track with the 'FEAT TRACKING' sheet in the version of the Deck Handler he's using. :) (It'll automatically update the DON'T LOOK tab, so you'll need to move some of your cards there down a bit after adding the feat.)
We have received word on the player boons for Cards Against Gnomanity II!

For his deck upgrades, Korundo would really like to get one of the Weapon 1's and the Ally 1.
Deck Upgrade 1
Deck Upgrade 2
[dice=Blessing 11d1000[/dice]
For the mission reward, Korundo will draw either Armor or Item 1 for someone if they need it.
As for his hero point, Korundo will take a Wisdom Skill Feat (+1)
We have found:
Weapon 0 x 3, 1 x 2
Spell 0 x 2, 1 x 1
Armor -
Item 0 x 2
Ally 0 x 4, 1 x 1
Bless 0 x 1, 1 x 2
We each also get to nominate Item or Armor, and draw a new level 1 card of that type. We get a bonus deck upgrade.
This is Ranzak's 5th scenario, and he already has a Hero Point saved.
He will choose to tier up at this point.
He will nominate Armor, and upgrade his Stalking Armor to Wolfhide Armor.
He will spend his Hero Point on a Card Feat (Ally), and use an Ally 0 to add his friend Poog of Zarongel to his deck.
(That's assuming there's an Ally 0 available, but that looks to be a pretty safe bet)
|
The upgrades Enora wants is spell 1 which no one else seems to want and item 1 which we didn't get but she can choose for the draw.
So
Hero Point: Power feat +1 hand size.
Spell upgrade: Remove Curse isn't pulling it's weight so I'm upgrading it to Life Drain #2.
Item upgrade: Codex is handy but Binder's Tome is great. And will be very handy here.
As an aside... man, most of these story banes are very pro-Radovan. Most feature checks to defeat that he's great at, damage types which he can 'absorb', traits that he gets benefits just from encountering banes with them, etc.
And I forgot to mention - don't forget you all get another boon roll. As do I...
Radovan will spend his Hero Point to get a Skill Feat: +1 to Dex, which is now 1d8+1.
I've upgraded to Yewstance's new 4.6 deck handler (which looks great - thanks, Yewstance!). My new deck handler can now be found here. Will someone who knows how to do such things please update the party sheet so that it points to this new deck handler? Thanks!
Card upgrades:
a) Nominate Item 1. Replace Noxious Bomb with Embalming Fluid
b) Bonus Deck Upgrade: Weapon 1. Replace Kama with Galvanic Chakram +1.
Ranzak (and Radovan) will start at the River
Mid-scenario Acquired Cards update.
Snake (Ally 0)
Bodyguard (Ally 1)
Cat (Ally 0)
Lookout (Ally 0)
Half-plate (Armor 0)

Spell 0 x1
Weapon 0 x2
==============================
And of course, you get a Boon Roll.

For deck upgrades, Korundo would like to just take an Item 0, but will concede it if anyone else wants it. With it, Korundo would replace his Blood Periapt with Belkzen Battle Standard.
Korundo will spend his Hero Point in a Power Feat to permanently increase his Hand Size to 5.
As for the loot ally, Korundo would really like to have it, but is willing to roll for it if someone else wants it.
Finally, Korundo will not be tiering up yet.
Radovan will save his Hero Point for a rainy day. He will not tier up yet.
For a deck upgrade, Radovan will take one of the Ally 0 cards to replace Quartermaster with Zae.
Radovan is fine with Korundo taking the Loot Ally.
I don't believe I rolled for 1*, so

I do believe we will be going to adventure 2 after this scenario, so Korundo will tier up, and then apply his Hero Point to the Power Feat: "Add 1d4 to your check that invokes the Animal Trait".
For deck upgrades, Korundo is just looking for a Spell B to add Bloodscent to his deck instead of Judgement Light.
So my first choices for my two upgrades are going to be an Ally B and a Weapon 1. If either of those aren't available then I can also take a Blessing 1 or B.
(If available, I will swap out Rochin for Double Chicken Saber +1).
4th scenario: not tiering up and using my hero point for a card feat: Ally (which, assuming an Ally B is available, I will fill with Snick).
Edit: just saw Korundo's post about tiering up: if that's the case then Radovan will also tier up (though I don't that changes anything about upgrades since I think we only got cards that were level 1 and lower this time around?).
SCENARIO REWARD:
ACQUIRED CARDS:
Acolyte (Ally 0)
Archer (Ally 0)
Frog (Ally 0)
Prayer (Blessing 0)
==============================================
-> Nope.
So, to summarize:
Radovan wants a Weapon 1 and an Ally 0.
He can take the Weapon 1 as the Adventure reward, and use one of the 3 Ally 0s we acquired.
Ranzak wants a Weapon 1 and a Blessing 1.
He too can take the Weapon 1 as the Adventure reward, so will be looking for a Blessing 1.
Enora wants 2 spell 1s (and a Blessing 1?)
She will take one Spell 1as the Adventure reward, and will be looking for another Spell 1 (and a Blessing 1)
Korundo just wants a Spell B.
He can take this as the Adventure reward.
Is that correct?
If so, then only Ranzak and Enora are going to be using Auction Boon upgrades.
In that case, Ranzak and Enora will alternate nominating card types.
In each round Ranzak will nominate Blessing; once he gets a Blessing 1 he will drop out.
Enora will nominate Spell until she gets a Spell 1, at which point she will switch to nominating Blessing. If she gets a Blessing 1 (or if we have run through all 12 nominated cards) the process will end.
Based on JohnF's instructions above....
1C AUCTION BOONS:
Blessing 0
Spell 0
Blessing 1
Spell 0
Spell 1
Blessing 1

Sorry for taking so long to reply here. If it's still possible to draw more Spells to dig for another Spell 1, then Korundo would request we do so.
Since we can take 3 deck upgrades, my preference for Korundo would be Spell 1, Spell B and Blessing 1. I can take the Blessing 1 from my Adventure Reward, and the Spell B is already out, so all we need to dig for now is another Spell 1, if able.
With his deck upgrades, Korundo would get Bloodscent (Spell B), Charm Animal (Spell 1), and Blessing of Gorum (Blessing 1).
1C AUCTION BOONS, PART 2:
Spell 0
Spell 0
Spell 1
Radovan takes one of the Blessing 1 upgrades for his Scenario bonus deck upgrade, swapping out BotQ 3 for BoAbadar.
Radovan will pass on upgrades this time around. He'll spend his hero point on Skill Feat: Dex (raising it to +2).
SCENARIO REWARD:
ACQUIRED CARDS:
4x Ally 0
1x Ally 1
1x Armor 1
3x Blessing 0
3x Blessing 1
1x Item 0
2x Spell 0
1x Spell 1
2x Weapon 0
==============================================
-> Nope.

Korundo will be taking a Spell Card Feat. He will fill the empty spot with Call Animal.
For his deck upgrade, Korundo will take 1 of the Blessing 1's to replace one of his Blessing of the Samurai with a Blessing of Shax.
Korundo could use the loot weapon, but would be willing to let someone else use it if they want to. He would otherwise replace his Improvised Club with it.
EDIT: oh! and the boon roll...
Lol, at this rate I'll get all of this table's boons :/
Congratulations on the boon! Which one are you claiming?
Ranzak will take a Skill feat, and put his Dex bonus up to +2
He will not Tier up yet.
He isn't really interested in any of the available upgrades.

Korundo will spend his hero point to gain the power feat "☐ Add 1d4 to your check that invokes the Animal trait."
For his deck upgrade, Korundo will indeed take the Armor 2, replacing his Gambeson with Arboreal Armor
Korundo is fine with Enora taking Wall of Light.
Radovan spends his hero point to gain the power feat: Increase hand size to 6.
Radovan takes the Weapon 2 upgrade, replacing Double Chicken Saber +1 with Stormrune Knife.
Ranzak puts another Hero Point in the bank.
He takes an Item 2 upgrade, replacing his Alchemist's Fire with a Gem of Physical Prowess
(the Core version is only a level 1 card; does that mean I could have taken it with an Item 1 upgrade?)
Ranzak will tier up so that he will be able to take a feat at the end of the next scenario.
(the Core version is only a level 1 card; does that mean I could have taken it with an Item 1 upgrade?)
Based on Vic's statements, they're being switched in your Class Deck (much like Radovan's Unconventional Firepower), so yes.
If one is already in your character deck, it may or may not end up being a free deck upgrade, since it'll automatically be exchanged as long as the new card doesn't exceed your tier.
