This guide will provide a reliable approach to starting gold at any level. I would not say that you 'gain back' the extra gold if you later choose to level up via prosperity. Therefore you gain 30 gold when starting on level 1, or 45 gold on level 2, and so on. In addition, a newly created character receives an amount of gold equal to 15x (L+1), where L is their starting level.

44 for each level increase in sequence, up to and including their chosen starting level. Net Shooter (1): A big part of playing a support in Gloomhaven is damage mitigation, and preventing your enemies from moving allows allies to more easily avoid their attacks. You start with 3 level 1 spells, get 2 per spell level from 2-5 and then 1 per. The starting gold formula for new characters is 15 (N+1), where N is the level you are starting at. If a player starts a character above Level 1, they should go through all the steps outlined on p.Potent Potables (X): Players focusing on playing the Tinkerer as an RPG healing class will definitely want to pick up this one to boost their heals.Restorative Mist (1): This is the Tinkerer's workhorse healing card, offering a solid ranged heal on top and a move with a slight heal on the bottom.Ink Bomb (1): With 12 cards in hand, the Tinkerer can afford to keep some high-damage loss cards like Ink Bomb, particularly if they have a great movement action on the bottom.Here are some of the most important Level 1 and Level X cards for this build: That being said, Tinkerers in groups of three players will also want to mix in some good damage cards. Therefore, the best build for the Tinkerer is one that helps the rest of the team by healing, disabling enemies, and controlling the battlefield. The figures are Inox Brute, Quatryl Tinkerer, Orchid Spellweaver, Savvas Cragheart, Vermling Mindthief and Human Scoundrel.The Tinkerer in Gloomhaven is an extremely support-focused class, and as such isn't recommended for groups of less than three players. There will even be times when you complete the scenario and are unable to. This came out a bit better on some models then others, but since Fanguad plays the Human Scoundrel anyway, he can re-paint it or just suffer through my paint job! You never want to loot for extra gold if it puts the scenario goal at risk. Out of the starting 6 characters, two were shades of green, two were shades of blue, one was purple and one was brown.Īnother thing to note is that all of their eyes (except the Tinkerer, who has goggles) were depicted as glowing.

However, Cephalofair Games didn't make it easy. I tried to incorporate the color of their character cards into their figures (for instance, I gave the Inox Brute a light blue fur cloak, instead of a more traditional color) and their bases to help distinguish them better on the board. As with every complex, multi-level game, in Gloomhaven there are rules you tend to omit, forget or simply misinterpret. I used their portrait on their player card as a starting point, but I did diverge a bit with each one. Fanguad convinced me that painted minis would look better than grey plastic, so I gave it a go and here are the starting 6 figures. I wound up Kickstarting the 2nd go of Gloomhaven because of all the good buzz it was getting and I managed to get a group together with Fanguad, myself and a couple others.
