Creating custom cards for Heroscape requires precise point calculations to maintain game balance. This calculator helps you determine the appropriate points for your custom cards based on their attributes and effects.

How to Use This Calculator

To calculate the points for your custom Heroscape card:

The calculator will provide a point value based on the formula used in official Heroscape expansions. You can then adjust this value based on your specific card's unique effects.

Formula Used

The point value for a custom card is calculated using the following formula:

Points = (Base Power × 2) + (Special Abilities × 3) + Rarity Multiplier

The rarity multiplier values are:

  • Common: 0
  • Uncommon: 2
  • Rare: 4
  • Epic: 6
  • Legendary: 8

This formula balances the card's power level with its rarity and special abilities to ensure fair play in your custom Heroscape game.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Common Card

For a common card with a base power of 5 and 2 special abilities:

Points = (5 × 2) + (2 × 3) + 0 = 10 + 6 + 0 = 16 points

Example 2: Rare Card

For a rare card with a base power of 8 and 3 special abilities:

Points = (8 × 2) + (3 × 3) + 4 = 16 + 9 + 4 = 29 points

Example 3: Epic Card

For an epic card with a base power of 10 and 1 special ability:

Points = (10 × 2) + (1 × 3) + 6 = 20 + 3 + 6 = 29 points

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I determine my card's base power?

The base power is typically determined by the card's primary attack or defense value. For example, if your card has an attack value of 5, you would enter 5 as the base power.

What if my card has unique effects not covered by the formula?

The calculator provides a starting point. You may need to adjust the points up or down based on the uniqueness and impact of your card's effects. Consider playtesting with the calculated value before finalizing.

Can I use this calculator for official Heroscape cards?

This calculator is designed for custom cards. Official Heroscape cards already have established point values that should not be altered.
