Monster Card Rules

Monster cards are pretty easy to use but their are few rules you will need to go by if you wish to have a fun time.

1. Only Roll on the movement table when the monster is outside of melee range.
2. If you roll something and it doesn't seem possible to do then treat that roll as if nothing happens.
3. Only use the AI tables if the monster is in combat with one of the heroes. I suggest outside of combat give the youngest party memeber the task of moving the monster.

Monster Level Chart

Add up the total number of stats for each character. Use this chart based on the character with the highest number of total stats. Do not include equipment into this calculation. Note: These are cumulative!

Total Stats	Effect
16	Add +1 to all Blue Stats.
18	Add +1 to all Red Stats.
20	Add +1 to all Blue Stats.
22	Add +1 to all Red Stats.
24	Add +1 to all Blue Stats.

If your party member is past 24 add +1 to the next alternate colored stats for every 2 stats. Example: next is 26 and that will all +1 to all red stats.
