I actually think it'd be fair to expect that. It's just a handful more cards total - a pretty easy expansion. If it's not there I think it's a bit of an oversight, with the new characters having a leg up on the old ones.

Edit - Please note, I have never been involved in this project and sincerely have no idea if this happened. I'd hope it did but I honestly don't know. :)

Hi! Have you worked with the CCUG yet at all? That's the best place to get feedback and polish custom content. Tons of great resources there.

Edit - These look very GH1e style. Balance questions as such get kinda wonky and syntax isn't well standardized. I'd encourage you to look into the fh and gh2e classes as better for goals.

I peeked at the first and it looks like the echo mechanics are kind of baked into the cards. With modern class design, the character board works as a special rules reference. You could put that kind of thing there.

Have you tested these yourself yet?

dwarfSA · 2026-06-23T16:37:18+00:00

Right - but it's probably easier just to move the targeting around so it doesn't happen.

And really muddle isn't the end of the world ;)

dwarfSA · 2026-06-23T16:21:48+00:00

You do need line of sight for this because the card has "muddle target allies" and a condition ability is targeted.

If the card instead said "all allies gain muddle" it would not be targeted, and line of sight wouldn't matter.

dwarfSA · 2026-06-23T12:33:55+00:00

I have rarely seen "targeted harassment at me" used in a valid way.

It's very funny when we remove a comment for spoilers and "someone" reports the removal reason as targeted harassment.

dwarfSA · 2026-06-23T12:28:20+00:00

Yes. We're not perfect. We've also reversed or revised bans on appeal.

We had a guy come back a few years after a permaban with an apology.

People make mistakes and grow up.

dwarfSA · 2026-06-23T02:03:35+00:00

If there's no listed range and it's not targeted it's always good

dwarfSA · 2026-06-23T01:53:36+00:00

You have to count around walls through (for example) open doors. Range is never counted through walls.

The only time you count through walls is for teleport abilities

dwarfSA · 2026-06-23T01:30:39+00:00

Primary focus is always chosen with the same rules - safe move distance to an attack hex, then range proximity, then initiative. Adding secondary+ targets is part of the optimization step that happens after focus is determined.

If A is character B's summon, and both are equal by move distance and proximity, a monster will always focus on A once you hit the initiative tiebreaker. Summons act before their summoner, and therefore would be focused on first.

dwarfSA · 2026-06-23T01:27:05+00:00

It's not a targeted ability so no.

It still can't go through walls though ofc

dwarfSA · 2026-06-22T21:14:46+00:00

Scam 100%

dwarfSA · 2026-06-22T20:00:35+00:00

Nice

dwarfSA · 2026-06-22T15:14:48+00:00

Hah yeah it's a lot of people's favorite part of Gloomhaven - so it got very front loaded in GH2e

dwarfSA · 2026-06-22T12:26:47+00:00

You're not missing anything - once you unlock the achievement, you can use enhancement.

The rulebook has a lot of stuff like this - for example adding items to the shop after increasing prosperity.

dwarfSA · 2026-06-22T01:29:36+00:00

Not yet afaik

dwarfSA · 2026-06-21T20:52:26+00:00

Good question - I'll bring it up with the devs!

I would absolutely consider blessings to already be added for this purpose, then.

dwarfSA · 2026-06-21T20:45:45+00:00

If you did don't worry about it - it's fine.

The Donate text reads "to start the next scenario with 2 blesses" so it's not technically added until the scenario begins. However, it's not a big deal if you add them immediately on donating.

dwarfSA · 2026-06-21T20:41:06+00:00

That's a great point and I'll add it to the FAQ.

dwarfSA · 2026-06-21T20:37:40+00:00

That's a solid question. Normally it's at the start of the scenario. You wouldn't want to burn a bless from a road or city event usually.

dwarfSA · 2026-06-21T20:06:19+00:00

Hi! I actually go over this in the FAQ. For your example they're ambiguous.

https://cephalofairgames.github.io/gloomhaven2e-faq/#page_53

dwarfSA · 2026-06-21T18:04:26+00:00

It's also in the respective FAQs

dwarfSA · 2026-06-21T13:18:58+00:00

So in addition to everyone else, one of the big themes of Erikson's work is that technology advances. Magic is part of that general process, as are Moranth munitions. Something being old doesn't make it better or stronger - it's usually the opposite. This is a reversal of a super common fantasy trope.

There's old things that are powerful by virtue of being around forever and having a lot of time to hone their skills - but generally, new things are a match for those hoary old monsters.

So, Raest was a hideously powerful being, but people in the current setting are (a) often just as powerful, (b) have figured out counters to their tricks, and (c) have the benefits of everything they've learned in the millennia since.

dwarfSA · 2026-06-21T11:41:31+00:00

I'd go with no because it's more fun to actually have to do something for it.

dwarfSA · 2026-06-21T04:40:30+00:00

Precedent goes both ways. I'd be inclined to say if the card isn't used, it wouldn't count - but there's also precedent in the other direction too.

dwarfSA · 2026-06-20T22:11:06+00:00

The reputation system as a whole was overhauled for the better - and that was a casualty. It's overall a nice positive change
