To stir you up a little, we've decided to prepare an illustrated battle report.
It can be found here:

I hope that it will stimulate you to assemble and paint your own Warcanto warbands and soon Dagr Kadur will swarm with brave adventurers seeking for the treasures of Avals!

Looks good guys, I look forward to sitting down and reading it. The terrain is very cool!

That was a great report. It was fun to read and the pictures were of remarkable quality. One thing bothers me 'though. The dwarf hero had a skill he shouldn't have had. He had Ranger's Apprentice which is an Ungrvil Way skill. All of the rest of his skills were Halgval, Grand Heirloom and miscelaneous. As far as I know a hero is only allowed to have skills from one main branch (or Path). This one had skills from two main paths. However, He didn't use the odd skill duirng the battle so it's no biggy. I don't think he even shot once.

Have Chill and myself been missunderstanding the rules all along? Maybe it's a typo or you missremembered your notes from the game but it's not a major issue as the eroneous skill was never used .

He did shoot

There is nothing in the rulebook that forbids you to develop more than one "main skill branche". The idea is that Hero can mix different paths!
This was already discussed in the Warcanto Rules Discussion section:


but maybe we should indicate it more clearly in the next rulebook

Yes please. The current wording gives the impression that a hero picks one main branch and is restricted to it and miscelaneous skills. Ah, I think I found it. There's 2 bits on page 20 (25 of the pdf):



I'd recommend changing that to the following:



That'd help prevent any missunderstandings. You see, the way that sentence was originaly written implied that the hero has to choose a main skill branch rather than that he can develope all three.

The second bit I'd recommend changing is this as it adds to the confusion:



I'd recommend possibly changing that to:



Thanks, Matt, for clearing this up . I'm sure our heroes will become much more varied in the future as currently every hero we've made has stuck rigidly to one main skill branch ('cause that's what we thought it said in the rules).

There is nothing wrong with a Hero following only one Path! I'd say that it's more challenging

thi is what i understund as well. thx for explanation
