IceVault: Campaigns by Manrann
Playing a Campaign:
While playing a single game of IceVault may
be fun, a campaign lets you play a series of
connected games with the same Wizard and
Warband. This provides the opportunity to
level up your wizard, grow your warband,
and use the cool treasure and magic you
find in a game.
Injury and Death:
Causalities: When a unit is Knocked out
during a game, it counts as a causality. For
every causality, depending on what type of
unit it is, roll on the corresponding table
below to see what its status is.
Regular Unit: For every soldier/ companion
that is a causality, roll to see what happens
to it.
Roll (2d6) Result
2-3 Dead: Remove the unit
from the warband. All
items it holds are lost.
4-5 Badly Injured: The unit is
injured, and may either
Participate in the next
game at -3 health, or sit
out the next game.
6-12 Recovered: The Unit
recovers and may be
used in the next game
without any penalties.
Spellcaster Unit: For every Wizard/
Apprentice that is a causality, roll to see
what happens to it.
Roll Result
(2d6)
2 Dead: Remove the
Spellcaster from the
warband. All items it holds
are lost.
3 Permanent injury: The
spellcaster suffers an injury
that never fully goes away.
Roll on the Permanent Injury
table to see what the injury
is.
4-5 Badly Injured: The
Spellcaster is injured, and
may either sit out the next
game, or pay 100g for
medical treatment, in which
case it may take part in the
next game with no penalties.
6-12 Recovered: The Unit
recovers and may be used in
the next game without any
penalties.
Permanent Injury: Whenever a spellcaster
takes a permanent injury, roll on the table
below to see which injury it gets. Each injury
can be received twice, with cumulative
effects. Any further rolls of that injury must
be rerolled
Roll Result
(2d6)
2-3 Injured Leg: The Spellcaster
gets -1” penalty to its move
4-6 Injured arm: The Spellcaster
gets a -1 penalty to its fight
rolls
7-8 Never Fully Recovered: The
spellcaster starts the game
at -1 health
9-10 Injured Jaw: The Spellcaster
gets -1 penalty to
spellcasting rolls
11-12 Blind eye: The Spellcaster
gets -1 penalty to its shoot
rolls. If this injury is received
twice, the spellcaster is
blind, must be retired, and is
considered ‘dead’ for game
purposes.
Experience and Levelling:
Over the course of a campaign, a Wizard will
gain experience from its battles, which it
can use to level up to improve its stats.
Earning Experience: A Wizard can earn
experience for doing certain deeds during a
game. The amount of experience earned is
given in the table below.
Experience Deed
+10 For each spell successfully
cast(Either by the Wizard
or the Apprentice) during a
game.
+20 For each enemy soldier
personally taken out by the
Wizard during a game
+25 For each enemy apprentice
personally taken out by the
Wizard during a game.
+40 For each enemy Wizard
personally taken out by a
Wizard during a game
+15 For each treasure
successfully secured by a
Wizard or any member of
his warband during a
game.
Other ways to earn experience may be
specified in a scenario.
Soldiers and Apprentices do not earn
experience or advance levels.
1
Spending Experience: After each game,
each player must total up the experience
earned by their Wizard during the game.
This experience may be spent to purchase
levels, with the cost for each level given
below. (Each Wizard starts at level 1)
Level Experience cost
1-5 100
6-10 150
11-15 200
15-20 300
21-25 400
26- 100 400 + 2 x Level
Gaining a Level: Whenever a Wizard gains a
level, they may choose one:
• Improve a Stat
• Learn a spell
Improve a Stat: When improving a stat, a
Wizard may:
• Increase Health by +1, upto
maximum of 15 Health
• Get +1 to either Fight or Shoot
rolls upto a maximum of Fight/
Shoot +3. If the wizard already has
+1 fight and +1 shoot, they may
spend an improvement to get rid
of those bonuses and gain Quality
+1 instead, upto a maximum of
Quality +5
Learning a Spell: A wizard may choose to
learn a new spell for which he has a
grimoire. They may add that spell to the list
of spells they can cast. (This means their
apprentice may also cast the spell). The
spell is still affected by casting modifiers for
its school.
Treasure:
In single games of IceVault, Treasure tokens
are used to determine the Winner of a
game. However, in a campaign, Treasure
tokens have a much larger part.
Counting Treasure: After each game in a
campaign, a player may roll once on the
treasure table below for each token they
have secured at the end of the game.
