You play as a hero. Your hero defines your starting stats and grants a unique ability.

Three of the 20 Strong dice are gray stat dice. They track your stats’ values as they increase and decrease throughout play.

• health tracks how much damage you can take before you lose.

• strategy indicates…

» how many items you can have in your inventory.

» how many times you can go through the Strategy phase each round.

» In Tainted Grail, your Strategy also indicates your hand limit.

• recovery indicates how many exhausted dice you can get back each round.
