Champions of Krynn

Game Mechanics

Like that of Pool of Radiance, the game system Champions of Krynn is based on the rules of the role play Dungeons and Dragons. The player controls a group that can count up to six characters and must explore the world of the game, fight monsters and perform quests to advance in the game. It is distinguished from its predecessor by its universe, the races available in Lancedragon being different from those of the forgotten Kingdoms. It is thus possible to embody a dwarf of hills or mountains or a Kender. Magic also works differently than in Pool of Radiance, the magicians who can profit from the phases of the moon and the priests who can choose their gods in the pantheon Lancedragon.

As in other titles Gold Box, the game starts with a stage of creation of the characters in which it can choose the race, sex, class, characteristics, alignment and appearance of them. Seven races 'human, elf silvanesti, elf qualinesti, half-elfes, dwarf of mountains, dwarf of hills and kender' and seven classes ' warrior, paladin, knight, robber, priest, magician and thief' are thus available in the game. The characters also have the possibility of being multi-class, allowing them to dispose of capacities of several classes at the same time. When creating a character, its features are randomly generated by the computer but the player can adjust them if he wishes. The player also chooses the alignment of his characters, that is, his moral philosophy, which influences the reactions of the non-player characters against the group. The player can finally customize the appearance and color of icons representing each character. By making progress in the game, the characters controlled by the player gain experience that allows them to become more powerful. The amount of experience they have determines the level of the character, each passing at a higher level giving access to training allowing it to become more powerful. This training is done in a specific area. In addition to training, magicians can learn new spells by transcribing them from parchment found exploring the region. To strengthen his characters, the player can also equip them with weapons and armor that he can find on the corpses of enemies killing in combat or buying from a merchant. The created characters can be exported to Death Knights of Krynn or to The Dark Queen of Krynn, the two suites of Champions of Krynn.
