AToAH/Varient

[Old Dwarf]

A Touch of Lovecraft

Well here it is a way to combine the Lovecraft
Mythos & a lot of the cool bits from the Arkham Horror
Games into AToE.Its not Complete yet ,I still need
to pick up using the Dunwich Horror /Kingsport Horror
& The Shadowbrook Horror stuff.Then do all the GOO
as Mythos AToE Villains with Minion Sheets.


The following are rules to convert the Arkham
Horror Board Game(AH) & supplements To A Touch
of Evil( AToE) Supplement:

1.AToE game sequence,Inv./Hero Sheets & mechanics are used
but the playing Board can be Shadowbrook,Dunwich,
Kingsport or Arkham Boards.

2.The AH ally cards are used as as allies
but their abilities are converted to AToE (see below)

3.The AToE Location Cards are NOT used ,instead use
the AH or its Supplement Location Cards with there results
converted to AToE (note if playing on the Shadowbrook
Board the regular AToE Corner Location Decks are used.
(see the Showbrook Mythos)

4.AToE Inv.are used & given a Sanity Rating which fluctuates
(see Below)

5.The AToE Mystery Deck is used in place if the Mythos Cards

6.The Villain Sheets use the Mythos Villains Sheets(see below)
& Minion Charts per that Villain.

7.The AH Unique Items,Spell,Skill,Gate,Ally,Injury & Madness
Card Decks are used as follows:

-Allies are unique to the Arkham,Dunwich,Kingsport Cards
(you can only use those Game Ally Cards on their Board)

-Unique Items,Spell & Skill Decks can contain these Cards from
all the Expansions.

-The Skill,Spell & Unique Decks MUST contain only 1 Card
of each type Spell,Item or Skill.You may however include
all the Elder Signs available in the Unique Deck.

-In the Shadowbrook Board the Skill Deck is not used
as its function are covered by the AToE Corner Decks.

-All Gate Cards from all the AH Games & Expansions are
used.

- Injury & Madness from (DH Expansion).Whenever Inv.
Sanity or Wounds at Zero & Inv.moved to approbate
Location to heal Roll d6:

1-5 =Regular Healing of Sanity/Wounds apply as per
AToE Knock Out Rules.

6=Inv. Must take an Injury Card (if Wounds) or Madness Card
if Sanity.All Sanity or Wounds are restored & no loss
of items,cards or Inv.token but Inv.now has an Injury
or Madness Card & its applied per Card Text.

- All Decks are Placed Face Down except for the Common Items
Deck.

8.The Limit per Inv/Hero is 8 Items,(unless a card allows more)
Note Spells & skills are not items but Allies are.Elder Signs
are not Items.

9.AH and AToE Skill equivalents:

Lore=Spirit
Will=Honor
Fight=Combat
Sneak=Cunning
Luck=reroll or force any minion to reroll 1 die
Sanity=give Hero/Inv.AH Sanity tokens= to Spirit +
Honor to start.This is the Max.San Rating.

AH to AToE Skill Checks equivalents*:

Speed-roll 1 d6 to get speed to check against then roll d6
for Hero if = or over 1st die roll Hero successful.
Note use modifiers as per Card Text

Luck-use Cunning Check

Horror-use Honorl Check

Lore=use Spirit Check

Spell=not a Check instead the AH Spell Check modifier
either increases/decreases the # of die the
Caster may roll as per positive & negative
modifiers given below.

Note all checks unless noted otherwise are at +5

(*use any modifiers the card Text may call for,results
are as card text)

Other Conversions:

-When a Gate, or Doom Track movement called for
advance/retreat the Shadow track that many spaces.

-When Monster appears per Location Card Text its a 1 round
attack by a Random Monster .Roll on Location Monster Table
Inv. gets 1 Inv token per hit made on Monster.
(see Random Monster Table)


-Fight means roll on the appropriate Chart/Table
& resolve combat as per the text.

-$ or clues =Inv. Tokens.Regardless of # stated
3 is the Maximum you can gain or loose.

-Ignore references to Refresh/Exhaust on the AH Cards
the concept is not used.Also Ignore references to Monster
Trophies they are not used.


-Make text 18th/19th Century Friendly
(cars become Horses)

-Any modifiers on checks given in the Card Text are handled as
follows:

negative (-) Modifiers reduce the # of die the
Investigator/Hero rolls ,however if reduced to Zero die or less
1 die is still rolled but needs a 6 for success.

Positive (+) Modifiers allow Investigator/Hero to reroll # of
die per modifier.

-Any card text that directs Inv.to Location not on the
Board instead Roll on the Boards Random Location Table.

-Party Invitation AToE Event Card=Go to Ye old Magick Shoppe

-Magistrates Mandate AtoE Event Card-Go to General Store


-Blessed/Cursed:

Blessed=reroll any 1 die
Cursed=opponent may reroll their lowest die
Note these cancel each other out as per AH rules.

-Elder Signs=allows you to cancel 1 Gate or Minion Attack
(not Villain)but roll d6 on a roll of 1-2 Elder Sign Destroyed.

-Gates=are limited if Card calls for 1 to appear it appears
on Location of the Hero/Inv who drew card .That Hero/Inv.
then pulls a Gate Token & goes to its Other World Location
and has Encounters per AH rules.When he returns roll
on that Boards Random Location Table to get Location
Inv.returns to.Note once Hero/Inv goes into gate its
removed from Board.No closing/sealing of Gates is done
in this Game.Monsters defeated on other worlds are
worth 1 Inv.Token unless that Gate is associated with
the Villain Mythos Monster in which case the defeated monster
is worth 3 Inv.Tokens(this info.is given on the Mythos Villain
Sheet.

-If Gate & Monster both called for ,place the Gate as above
The Monster is drawn from the Monster Cup & placed
Randomly.Such Monsters when encountered fight as per
the regular combat rules & if defeated are worth 1 Inv.Token.

-Spells=only 1 spell can be used in turn or combat round
regular San Cost & card text apply.

-Combat=Inv/Hero's may fight with weapons checking
on Combat or Spells checking on Spirit.They may not combine
such Attacks however they may switch from round to round.
Allies/Elders who add to combat must make separate
Combat attacks when a Hero/Inv.used Spell combat.


-Ignore any card text not covered above,conduct any
Checks card requires-Succeed get d3 Inv. Tokens
Fail apply results per the AH Card Text.

- An Hero/Inv.reduced to both Zero Wounds & Zero Sanity
is devoured by the Mythos & lost forever.Remove from Game
but leave all Items & Inv.Tokens on the Board at his/her
last location.Other Inv.may search for them using a
Spirit or Cunning Check.This moves the Shadow Track
1 forward which can not be prevented.


AH Monster Conversions to AToE Minions

Use AH monster counters they convert to AToE as follows:

-Front ignore everything on front except name
Back use the symbols as follows:


-Horror Rating =use as check against Honor
(any modifiers used as above.Sanity symbols are
# of Sanity Lost if fail check.)

-Toughness=# of wounds Minion has

-Combat #=add Counter's Combat Rating (ignore
any + or - #) and Combat damage to get Combat #
for Minion


- For AToE Card purposes all Mythos Monsters are
considered Daemons

10.Buying Items is covered slightly differently in each Game
& covered in that Game board Directions.The AToE Town
Items Cards & Corner Deck Items are used plus the AH
Unique items.

11.Random Monster Cup-place the appropriate Monster
Counters in its designated cup.When a Random Monster Attack
Called for draw a Counter w/o Looking for the Attack.
See The Random Monster Encounters Summary & Table

When the Villain adds to his Doom Track it means remove
1 Wound.

13.Victory Conditions- As per AToE the Mythos Villain

Track runs out to end the Game.

14.Monster Encounters Summary & Tables

Monsters may be encountered several ways in
AToL Game:

Monster Tables (see below).This combat is for 1 Round
and the Inv./Hero gets 1 Inv.Token per wound made
on the Monster.

3.Via a Gate Card-which references either the Gate
Table the Inv.is in or if OTHER references the Dimensional
Table.Note Gate cards are handled per the AH Rules
(pull gate cards until you get a color match & then if
specific location Inv.is at is matched or if not use OTHER
text.Monsters on the Specific Gate Tables require
regular Combat and have +1 to their counter wounds #
and you can not break off.
Monsters in OTHER are for 1 Round & Inv.gets 1 Inv.
