Flint

Abilities

Basic Attack

• Battleaxe (melee) - Flint attacks the nearest enemy with his trusty battleaxe.

Passive Abilities

• That Doorknob Kender - Despite how annoyed and frustrated Flint can be when it comes to Tasslehoff, the two are inseparable. If Tasslehoff qualifies for an adventure restriction based on his tags, age, ability scores, etc., Flint may be used as well.

Formation Abilities

• Forged Bonds - Flint gains a Forged Bonds stack for each Champion adjacent to him. Flint buffs all Champions in his column and the column behind him by 100% for each Forged Bonds stack, stacking multiplicatively.
• Stubborn Determination - Flint reduces the damage taken by all Champions by 10% for each Forged Bonds stack he currently has, stacking additively and capping at 90%.
• Stonecunning - The effect of Forged Bonds is increased by 10% for each completed area in the current adventure that was Underground.
• Take The Initiative - Until he takes damage in an area, Flint gains an Initiative stack whenever he attacks an enemy. Once he has taken damage, Flint gains Follow-Through stacks when he attacks instead. The damage of Forged Bonds is increased by 100% for each Follow-Through stack he has, stacking multiplicatively. The number of Follow-Through stacks can not exceed the number of Initiative stacks he has gained, and Initiative caps at 100 stacks. Both stacks reset when changing areas or when Flint is moved in the formation or removed from it.

Specializations B

• Craft Maker - Flint gains the Gold role and the party's Gold Find is increased proportionally based upon the max health of enemies in the current area. For each order of magnitude of max health the enemies have, the party's Gold Find is increased by 10%, stacking multiplicatively.
• Foe Breaker - Flint gains the Breaker role. Attacks from Champions who are affected by Flint's Forged Bonds ability (including himself) remove an extra segment from enemies with segmented, armored, or critical health.
• Life Taker - Flint gains the DPS role and increases his own damage by 1000% for each Forged Bonds stack he has, stacking multiplicatively. His base attack also gains a small cleave.

Celebrations are underway to commemorate the founding of the Free City of Waterdeep. Founders Day attracts huge crowds to the Field of Triumph, where audiences watch illusory shows about Waterdeep's history and martial exhibitions by notable Champions and the renown city guard.

Festivities have also brought an ancient power from Avernus, first layer of the Nine Hells. A fallen angel has arrived to collect souls for the Blood War...

Event Updates

Featured Champions

Van Richten

Flex Champions

Nahara Rebalance

• To Amuse or Avenge is an interesting speed and damage combo ability. We're happy with the speed effect, but have adjusted the damage from additive to multiplicative so that it's much more effective at boosting Nahara's damage at low stacks. We've also made it so that feats and equipment buffing this ability will affect the pre-stack value, providing more oomph if she's well-equipped.
• Strong Society is Nahara's affiliation synergy and was her featured pre-stack ability. Unfortunately, it was only buffed by a single specialization choice. To fix this, we've swapped her Ultimate Cooldown equipment over to buff this ability, which should provide for a much larger damage boost if you're running a full Black Dice Society formation with decent equipment levels.
• In addition to the above changes, we have redone Nahara's upgrades to align with his kit updates.

Strongheart Rebalance

• Justice Needs Champions is Strongheart's base buff, and has been bumped up a touch given as he's in a higher bench seat.
• Our main change to Strongheart is to adjust all three of his specialization choices to be buffed pre-stack by feats and equipment, rather than post-stack. This will be especially powerful for people who run his A Righteous Event specialization at high stacks.
• In addition to the above changes, we have redone Strongheart's upgrades to align with his kit updates.

Walnut Rebalance

• Documancer was a bit of a NOMBO for Walnut. Since you start each area with zero stacks and must kill enemies to get stacks, it is very ineffective when you reach your wall. We've opted to adjust how the stacks reset, removing only half of them when changing areas instead of resetting them. Additionally, feats and equipment that buff this ability will now apply to the pre-stack value, rather than post-stack.
• Job's Done intention was to give you a damage bonus at the start of each area so you can get that very important first Documancer stack. With the changes to Documancer, it's more of a passive buff that encourages you to hurry along. We've increased its magnitude and duration to keep it at least somewhat relevant.
• Wolfnut's temporary hit point shield was some of the only health Walnut received to tank with, so we've increased its magnitude. We've also given Walnut a health-boosting piece of equipment (replacing her Ultimate Damage equipment) and bumped up her base health a bit.
• We haven't made any changes to Contractual Obligations, since it's just a basic health share ability. The changes to Walnut's max health and equipment should, however, improve this ability's effectiveness.
• Pen-Paws was a good ability in theory, but just didn't have modern numbers. We've changed the stacking from additive to multiplicative, which gives it several orders of magnitude more impact when fully stacked, as it will definitely be when you're at or near your wall.
• The Co-Signer specialization's base effect has been doubled to provide more impact in formations with multiple "C"-Team Champions.
• The Temporary Alliance specialization has been changed from additive to multiplicative to give Walnut more synergy in unaffiliated formations.
• In addition to the above changes, we have redone Walnut's upgrades to align with his kit updates.

Formation Abilities

• Slayer Training - Van Richten increases the damage of Champions in the column in front of him by 100%.
• Beyond the Grave - When a non-Undead non-Boss enemy is killed, there is a 25% chance that Strahd will resurrect it as an Undead version of the same enemy. The enemy reappears where it died after 1 second and can drop an additional quest item or count as a second kill for quest progress when killed. Does not trigger in Boss areas.
• Triumph - Undead enemies are Van Richten's favored foe. When one of his favored foes is killed, Van Richten gains a Triumph stack. Slayer Training is increased by 20% for each Triumph stack he has, stacking multiplicatively. Triumph stacks cap at 100 and reset when a boss area is completed.
• Watched by Erasmus - If no enemies have been defeated for 3 seconds, Van Richten's ghost son Erasmus appears. Whenever Van Richten attacks, Erasmus quickly moves to the target he will attack and curses all enemies in a small area, causing all attacks against them to deal 100% more damage. This is increased by 20% for each Triumph stack Van Richten has, stacking multiplicatively. Erasmus disappears when changing areas.

• Occult Aid: Sanctuary - Van Richten casts Sanctuary on all Champions in the front column of the formation that do not have the Tanking role. Monsters prefer to attack Champions that aren't under the effect of Sanctuary first when possible.

Ultimate Ability
