How many kinds of hero abilities are there in dominions 3 ?

[Fate]

KO said it was +1 for every hit.

There's a list somewhere, you get 1 or 2 XP just from participating in any combat, and you gain more for harming/killing enemies. There seems to be some sort of softcap on XP from damage though, as you can see with SCs and such, generally the more kills they have, the more kills/XP they have.

Good stuff lch. thanks a bunch.

someone say there are a kind of hero ability : tough skin ,but it seems to be very rare ,I have never seen it .

[archaeolept]

tough skin is not so rare; just pretty well useless.

[AreaOfEffect]

It should be noted that certain beings can never receive a heroic ability. This includes pretenders and unique monsters, such as the Arch Devils. I suppose because they are already heroic.

Ich: I've only just noticed this, but your list of how SV increments heroic abilities does not seem to include anything for Legendary Cruelty. Are the values for that fixed?

[lch]

I didn't take a look at everything, that's why I wrote "for example" for the conversion of skill value to heroic bonus. It's probably similar to one of the others bonuses.

?? One of my favourites! Who doesn't want protection?

The one that always irks me is heroic precision on your prophet. That is the worst person you could possibly give heroic precision to, in most cases. I'd much rather have heroic toughness on my prophet actually.
