Glyphs are a game piece featured in Heroscape sets, which add several different categories of effects to the game. They may be placed Power-Side-Up (face up), or Symbol-Side Up (face down). Glyphs are stationary unless otherwise stated in a scenario. When a figure moves onto a glyph, it is turned Power-Side Up if it was not already, and the powers are used immediately. Glyph powers affect the figure's entire army unless otherwise stated. There are Permanent Glyphs, which apply an effect at all times, and Temporary Glyphs, which take effect only once and then are removed from the game. The Dungeons and Dragons subtheme would add Treasure Glyphs, which are carried on a figure's Army Card. Lastly, some glyphs are Artifacts, whose powers are determined by the specific Scenario being played. Advertisement Types of Glyphs 00:00 41:20 Advertisement Permanent Glyphs These Glyphs remain on the battlefield at all times. While a figure is standing on a Permanent Glyph, the effect listed is applied to that figure's whole army. When a figure moves on to a Permanent Glyph, their movement ends immediately, and the glyph is flipped Power-Side Up if it was not already. As with other game effects, Special Attacks are not modified by glyphs. Temporary Glyphs The power of a Temporary Glyph takes place only once. When one of your figures moves onto any of these Glyphs, follow its rules, then remove it from the game. Treasure Glyphs The Dungeons and Dragons master set Battle for the Underdark introduced Treasure Glyphs. Treasure Glyphs are normally mobile and can be carried by a Unique Hero on their Army Card unless otherwise stated in a scenario. Treat Treasure Glyphs as normal glyphs with the following exceptions: Only Unique Hero figures can attempt to pick up or activate Treasure Glyphs. Uncommon figures are considered Unique for this. Other figures can land on spaces with Treasure Glyphs on them, but they cannot attempt to pick them up or activate them unless otherwise stated. A Unique Hero figure that ends its movement on a space with a Treasure Glyph may attempt to pick it up or activate it, depending on the Treasure Glyph’s individual rule. Treasure Glyphs do not force figures to stop when moving onto them. Treasure Glyphs that have been placed on a figure’s Army Card affect only the figure that is carrying them unless otherwise stated. Treasure Glyphs cannot be traded between figures. Treasure Glyphs must first be dropped by one figure (either voluntarily while moving, or by the figure being destroyed—see below), and then picked up by another figure at a later time. A Unique Hero can carry any number of Treasure Glyphs. Treasure Glyph Traps: If you are playing a Scenario with specified Traps, when a figure tries to pick up or activate a Symbol-Side Up Treasure Glyph, before revealing it, you must roll a 20 sided die. On a 1-5, you set off the trap! Leave the treasure Glyph symbol-side up. The scenario-specific trap takes effect. On 6 or higher, you don’t set off the trap, and the figure reveals the Treasure Glyph and places it on his corresponding Army Card. That figure now controls the Glyph. Dropping Treasure Glyphs: At any point during a figure's movement, you may place a Treasure Glyph power-side up on a space the figure occupies. That figure may now continue its movement. You cannot drop a Treasure Glyph onto a space that already has another Glyph on it. Losing Treasure Glyphs: If a figure carrying a Treasure Glyph is destroyed, the Glyph is placed power-side up onto a space the figure last occupied. If the space already has a Glyph on it, the Treasure Glyph(s) the figure was carrying is destroyed. Advertisement Ancient Artifact Treasure Glyphs Ancient Artifacts are powerful and rare Treasure Glyphs. Ancient Artifact Treasure Glyphs follow all rules for Treasure Glyphs with the following exception: an Army may control more than one Ancient Artifact Treasure Glyph, but an Army can never control more than one copy of each Ancient Artifact Treasure Glyph.
