Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms News

After braving the dangers of sailing the Astral Sea and exploring the floating corpse of a dead god, the Champions have managed to find and secure a second piece of the Rod of Seven Parts.

For the next Vecna: Eve of Ruin adventures, the Champions will help a Vecna find a 'new' hand and eye(!) before traveling to one of the most dangerous and cursed regions in the multiverse in search of another piece of the Rod of Seven Parts: the former nation of Cyre, better known as The Mournland...

Note: You will need to have completed the previous two Vecna: Eve of Ruin adventures, Havock's Zenith and The Heart of Havock, in order to access these new adventures.

[h2]A Cause for Kas[/h2]
Help Vecna find a new hand and eye, even if Kas thinks it's a bad idea!

The Champions have some time while the Wizards Three attune to the most recent piece of the Rod of Seven Parts - and Vecna has a quest for them! He's tired of not having an eye and hand since they were destroyed the last time they fought, and he wants "new" ones...

The Wizards Three have located the next piece of the rod. It's in Eberron! Specifically in the Mournland. More specifically, in the rotting remains of a ruined Warforged Colossus...

Weighing in at just under 30 pounds and with a grandmotherly demeanor befitting her advanced age, Rosie Beestinger is easily mistaken for someone on the wrong side of the 'aggressor/victim' relationship. But this is a mix-up that few people make more than once.

Originally released in March 2019, Rosie Beestinger is a sassy Halfling Shadow Monk created by Kate Welch for Acquisitions Inc: The "C" Team. And now it is time for a Rosie rework!

Rosie has been significantly reworked to better lean into her niches - adventures with ranged enemies, and formations with younger Champions. In addition, she has been given a new niche as the first Champion who can affect the BUD decay rate. For more information about Rosie's updated design, read on...

Patron Eligibility: Mirt, Elminster (until September 11th, 2027)

[h2]Abilities[/h2]
[h3]Basic Attack[/h3]

• Shadow Step - Rosie Shadow Steps behind one of the three closest enemies at random and hits them with a flurry of blows.

[h3]Formation Abilities[/h3]

• Sassy - Rosie deals +400% increased damage for every Champion in the formation younger than she is, stacking multiplicatively.
  
• Deflect Missiles - Rosie gains a deflect stack every time she attacks. She can store up to 100 deflect stacks at once. Whenever an enemy attacks the formation with a ranged/magic attack, Rosie consumes a deflect stack and reflects it back at the attacker. The reflected attack deals Rosie's damage with a 100% additively increased chance of dealing a critical hit. This effect can trigger as often as necessary, as long as Rosie has deflect stacks available.
  
• Timeless Body - Rosie gains a Timeless Body stack every time she successfully deflects a ranged/magic attack with Deflect Missiles. For each Timeless Body stack she has, Rosie increases the effect of Sassy by 1%, stacking additively. Stacks persist between adventures.
  
• Slow Decay - Whenever Rosie is your BUD-setting Champion, the rate of BUD decay is decreased by 50%.
  
• Shadow Arts - Rosie's critical hit damage is increased by 100% for every 100 levels she has been leveled up, stacking multiplicatively. Additionally, for every 4th attack, Rosie makes a Shadow Arts attack that deals 10 seconds worth of BUD damage to all enemies in a small area.

[h3]Specializations A[/h3]

• Matriarch - Increases the effect of Sassy by 100% for every Female or Nonbinary Champion in the formation who is younger than Rosie, stacking multiplicatively.
  
• Familiar Friends - Increases the effect of Sassy by 100% for every Champion in the formation that belongs to the "C"-team, Acquisitions Incorporated, or Wafflecrew affiliations, stacking multiplicatively.
  
• Grandmother Night - Increases the effect of Sassy by 100% for every Champion in the formation that is a Halfling, Rogue, or Monk, stacking multiplicatively.

[h3]Specializations B[/h3]

• Grandma-Bod - The damage bonus provided by Timeless Body stacks is increased by 200%, and whenever she deflects a ranged/magic attack with Deflect Missiles she gains 4 stacks of Timeless Body instead of 1.
  
• Busy Beestinger - Rosie's attack speed cooldown is lowered by 0.5 seconds (stacking additively) and her damage is increased by 400% (stacking multiplicatively) for each member of the "C"-Team in the formation, including herself.
  
• Slower Decay - Increases Rosie's critical hit damage by 600% and the effect of Slow Decay is set to 75%.

[h3]Ultimate Ability[/h3]

• Grammamancy - Rosie roots all enemies in place for 5 seconds and becomes a blur of movement, pummeling up to 10 enemies on screen for ultimate damage, and refilling her deflect stacks to max.

Faerûn's Savage Frontier has no shortage of dangers, but that hasn't stopped the citizens of Triboar from carving out a living in this picturesque stretch of fertile northern farmland.

This year, however, the people of Triboar are in need of aid. As the Highharvestide Festival approaches, bandits have begun causing trouble for farmers attempting to bring in their harvests, and it's up to the Champions to put an end to it!

Highharvestide 8 marks the beginning of Year 8 Events in Idle Champions and the beginning of Idle Champions 7th Anniversary Celebration! That's not confusing, is it?

But wait, there's more -- today also marks the launch of our latest Saturday Morning Squad member: Bobby the Barbarian!

Bobby is the first of the Featured Champions for Highharvestide 8, with the second, Rosie Beestinger, launching on Wednesday, September 11. Rosie's rework has been a long time coming, and we are excited to finally share with you what we've done.
