Heroes are the . . . uh, heroes . . . of the game. Each hero has a personality, develops augments over time, and carries equipment.
Heroes travel in a party. The party starts as a bunch of farmers and every hero develops over time. A farmer can become a warrior, a hunter, or a mystic.
TODO also:
Recruitment
One recruitment event is offered per chapter, in which the player can pay legacy points to hire a new hero for the party.
Any time the party has fewer than 3 members another recruitment event will be offered.
The Bard ability reduces the cost of recruitment by 1 LP.
Death and Maiming
When a hero loses their last hit point, they get a mortal choice: either die immediately in exchange for a boon for the rest of the party, or be maimed and wait to be rescued by the surviving heroes at the end of the battle.
Maimed heroes lose a randomly-selected limb, which gets replaced with a prosthetic. Heroes with only one hand cannot use two-handed or offhand items.
If the hero has an aspect that can replace limbs they get special versions instead of a standard hook or peg leg. In some cases the replacement can be an upgrade from human normal.
