Origin Seed in My HeroesCopy link
Changing Origin Seed narrows the available Origin Kinds and establishes the Seed-based Health capacities. Origin is not a Reserve identity selected in advance; its token resolves when drawn.
[Token Add: 1]
An Origin Seed Token represents the fundamental nature from which a Hero enters the world.
Every Hero begins play with exactly one Origin Seed Token, determined by their Origin Seed:
Astralkin · Vathian · Nuhlrin · Orvah
When drawn, the Origin Seed Token immediately adds the highest eligible total as Versatility to the current Performance. Nothing is preselected during Hero creation, and no Reserve Token is generated.
Origin Seed | Eligible category | Immediate bonus |
|---|---|---|
Astralkin | Sanction | Highest single matching total as Versatility, minimum 1V |
Vathian | Thread Color | Highest single matching total as Versatility, minimum 1V |
Nuhlrin | Aspect | Highest single matching total as Versatility, minimum 1V |
Orvah | Sanction, Thread Color, or Aspect | Highest single matching total as Versatility, minimum 1V |
When the Origin Seed Token is drawn, count each eligible identity separately and use the highest single total.
This includes matching results on:
Drawn Tokens + Tokens Remaining in the Hero’s Bag
Immediately add that total as Versatility to the current Performance.
If no eligible results are present, the Origin Seed Token adds 1V instead.
The 1V is a minimum bonus. Do not add it on top of a higher total, combine different identities, or create Reserve Tokens from this bonus.
