Haunt redesign

[tukkek]

To further improve the Campaign, haunts #33 would be shorter-lived Location fights, granting level-appropriate mercenaries or an Easy/Very Easy recruit. Once cleared, they'd become stronger by +1d4 EL and respawn.

In the future, they'd grant a minor/major relic #242 .

Haunts would be more interesting with 1d4 waves instead of being a static fight every time (TensionDirector).

new haunts (art needed)

• Beast lair (animal, fey)

• Spire (dragon)

• Conflux (elemental, outsider: mephit)

• Settlement (humanoid, monstrous humanoid: same image but 4 types: chaotic, good, evil, lawful)

• White shrine (outsider: genie, celestial, planetouched)

• Dark shrine (outsider: demon, devil, planetouched)

• Rift (outsiders, excluding those from areas above)

redesign (already in-game)

• sunken ship (all water)
• graveyeard (all undead)
• witches hideout (hag, vermin, magical beast, aberration + rename)

future (not enough monster to justify ATM)

• ? (ooze)
• ? (plant)
• forge (constructs)

Ideally, Haunts could be generated by Tier initially, so the lowest version could be created first, and then raise in power as they are cleared and the game progresses (through elites and Kits as needed). A Haunt with higher-level monsters could not be generated at a lower Tier so it'd progress through tiers until one can be generated.

Rift could have a mechanic, later on, that a random number of creatures "phase out" and/or "phase in" for a turn or two (outside AI logic). It could work like this: every turn (1AP), there's 50% chance to delay and 50% to remove creatures from the battlefield (if already removed, return them instead). Probably gotta choose groups to remove by CR so as not to imbalance the fight too much.
