Advanced Combat Rules - Content Pack 40 (Patreon)

The Advanced Combat Rules are an optional ruleset to make the battles in Colostle more complex, tactical, strategic and involved for players who want more than just the story inspiration rules from the core rulebook - but instead are looking for something a little more in-depth.

These rules add more complexity to Rook and Human opponent battles by adding special player abilities to different suits and cards. Clever use of combining or timing those abilities can lead to more strategic battles with complex choices and even the ability to beat opponents with higher combat scores than you - without taking any wounds!

This module will be available from the Colostle online store for general purchase in a little while as it will not form part of 'The Moat' final book. It will however be useful for playing in The Moat as bigger battles are coming up in future Moat modules - which is why I am releasing this ruleset now.

Although I have done a lot of testing of this module myself, it is one of the more complex rules modules I have created for Colostle and so I am bound to have missed something! As Patrons you get Early Access to these modules before they are enshrined in the books, so please pass on any feedback or errors/problems you discover when using this system to me, so that I can address and fix them ahead of general release. Any changes I make will be provided back to Patrons via an update to this post.

Good luck out there, Rooklancer...
