Grim(m) World - Isegrim, the Wolf - Rulebook V1.

Isegrim’s Character Card is very similar to the Character Cards of the basic game, but
still has some small differences, which are explained in more detail below.

Figure 2 - Isgerim Card

The following information can be found on Isegrim's Character Card:

1. Picture and name.
2. Developmental stage of the wolf.
3. Isegrim's combat ability, which he can use in combat if you play a
corresponding Action Card (see Rb. 6.2.1.1.5).
4. Isegrim’s check ability, which he can use to assist the character during a check,
if you play a corresponding Action Card (see Rb. 5.1.4.1).
5. Isegrim’s exploration ability, which he can use in Exploration Phase (see Rb. 5).
6. If the wolf receives special abilities, the corresponding symbol is displayed in
this area (see Rb. 6.3.4).
7. Isegrim’s status values, which are used in combat. Only the Regeneration value
is also used in the Rest Phase. It indicates the amount of HP that is healed
when Isegrim eats a provision.
Isegrim, the Wolf, is a 2 player expansion for Grim(m) World. While one player plays 8. If Isegrim loses all of his HP, then the character can carry the wolf until he finds
the character, the second player plays Isegrim, a foundling wolf. This expansion can provisions for healing (see chapter 1.5).

during Combat.

When this rulebook refers to the character, it is referring to Otilia, Giso, Martha, or
Joseph.
When this rulebook refers to Isegrim, it is referring to the wolf.
When this rulebook refers to a game character, it is referring to the character and
Isegrim.

There is a new type of card symbol on the Z- and Y-cards. An exclamation mark
indicates an instant event. These events are independent of the location of the game
characters. If a card with an instant event would be placed in the Encounter Bar
during a chapter change, it is immediately revealed and resolved.

Figure 3 – Isegrim’s Action Card

The Action Cards have two small 'wolf' symbols in the blue area. This allows the
Action Cards to be distinguished from those of the character.

Figure 1 - Z- and Y-Card with instant events
To use this expansion in the game, the following steps must be performed:
1. The card Z30 is added to Chapter 1 of the Storybook Deck during game setup.
This card is an Instant Event and is resolved as soon as the card would be
placed in the Encounter Track.
2. Cards Y150 through Y156 are added to the Lost Pages Deck.

Isegrim and the character always travel together across the Map Cards. Thus, they
always represent only one character and cannot separate.
During exploration, the character's status values are always used for checks, never
Isegrim's status values. Isegrim's Action Cards, on the other hand, may be contributed
to checks in the same way as the character's Action Cards. They are also discarded as
damage afterwards.
If a game character takes damage from an encounter, then either the character or
Isegrim may take that damage. The damage must be taken in full by one of the two
game characters and may not be split. If one game character drops to 0HP as a result
of an encounter, then the other game character must take the remaining damage.
What exactly happens when a game character is defeated is explained in detail in
chapter 1.5
Isegrim can grow from a pup to a full-grown wolf in the course of the game if the
character always feeds him well. The character should therefore make sure to have
one provision in his Inventory Card at the beginning of chapter 4 and two provisions
at the beginning of Chapter 8.
In the Rest Phase, the character can also feed a provision to Isegrim, in order to heal
the wolf. For each provision fed, Isegrim heals damage equal to his regeneration
value.
Compared to fighting with just the character, there are slight adjustments when
Isegrim is included. These changes are described in the following subchapters.
During the step Figure Placement (see Rb. 6.1.2.2), Isegrim must be placed in a space
adjacent to the character. The character's space and Isegrim's space may not be
separated by a yellow line. Isegrim may also not be placed in a space where an
enemy is placed.
The Constitution value of each enemy is increased by 1. Thus, each enemy also has 1
additional HP. This serves to balance Isegrim, who supports the character in combat.
At the beginning of the character phase, it is decided whether Isegrim or the
character takes his turn first. Only when one of the two has finished his turn is it the
turn of the other game character.
Enemies always act on the game character closest to them. To determine which
game character is closest to the enemy, the range is determined. If the distance to
the character and to Isegrim is the same, the opponent always chooses the game
character that has a higher priority due to the Decision Compass.
Figure 4 - Prioritization of the enemy
In Figure 4, enemy 17 executes Action Line 3. He receives 3 movement points and
move towards one of the game characters. Since the character and Isegrim are
equidistant, the Decision Compass of the Conflict Card is checked. The character is on
the left below the enemy and Isegrim is on the right below. The compass has a
priority of 1 on the left and 4 on the right, so the enemy will move towards the
Page 2 of 3
character. First one field to the left (priority 1), then 1 field down (priority 2), because
a rock blocks the movement further left. With the last movement point the enemy
moves further to the left (priority 1).
The character can use the ability 'Heal' not only on himself, but also on Isegrim if he is
standing in an adjacent space. The character's space and Isegrim's space must not be
separated by a yellow line. The wolf can only be healed if he still has more than 0 HP
and has therefore not yet been defeated.
Spaces occupied by a game character block the line of sight to spaces behind them.
For the escape condition, both game characters must reach one of the escape spaces.
If one of the game characters is defeated, you place its piece on the corresponding
space. The defeated game character does not block the line of sight, and the enemies
and the other game character can enter that space and also end their turn there. The
other game character can no longer escape from the combat because he would not
leave the other behind. The character still has the option to carry the wolf and thus
escape from combat. If the character moves into the defeated Isegrim's space, he can
discard an action card to perform the 'Re-equip' action (see Rb. 6.2.1.1.6). While re-
equipping, he can pick up Isegrim (his card is placed as an item under the Character
Card or Inventory Card) and escape the combat with him.
If a game character is defeated, the other game character can still win the combat.
After the combat ends and the 'Victory' entry of the Conflict Card has been resolved,
the corresponding 'A game character is defeated' entry (see chapter 1.5) is resolved.
A fight is not considered lost until both game characters have 0 HP.
Depending on which phase of the game one or both of the game characters lose all
Hit Points, the game proceeds differently. This is explained below:
• Both game characters lose all HP during the exploration:
Perform 'Damage in the Exploration' (see Rb. 7.2.1), healing both game
characters completely.
• Both game characters lose all HP during combat:
Perform ‘Defeat in Combat’ (see Rb. 7.2.3) and if the Conflict Card states that
the character heals a certain amount of hit points, then Isegrim heals the
same amount.
• The character loses all HP while exploring:
Perform 'Damage in the Exploration' (see Rb. 7.2.1) and heal both characters
completely. Isegrim guards the injured character and waits for him to recover.
• The character loses all HP during combat, but the combat was still won:
After the 'Victory' entry of the Conflict Card has been resolved, perform
'Damage in the Exploration' (see Rb. 7.2.1) and heal both game characters
completely. Isegrim guards the injured character and waits for his recovery.
• Isegrim loses all HP during exploration or during combat, but the battle was
still won:
There are the following two ways to deal with the injured wolf:
o Perform 'Damage in the Exploration' (see Rb. 7.2.1) and heal both game
characters completely. The character nurses the wolf back to health.
o The character can carry the wolf as an item. It occupies either the
character's hand slots or a space in the character's Inventory Card. Turn
Isegrim’s Character Card upside down accordingly and slide it under the
Character Card or Inventory Card. Isegrim cannot be removed, stolen,
or sold by any encounters.
The character must carry Isegrim until he heals him with a provision in
the Rest Phase or buys him a meal in an inn (see Rb. 5.2.2.1.1) or
tavern. If Isegrim receives a provision in the Rest Phase, he heals hit
points according to his Regeneration value.
If another combat occurs while Isegrim is still injured, then the
character must fight that combat alone.
In Adventure Mode, the following things are changed:
1. Isegrim gives the following bonuses or maluses depending on its stage of
development:
Wolf Pup -5
Young Wolf 0
Adult Wolf +10
2. When calculating the current hit points, the Action Cards of both game
characters are added together and divided by 2 (rounded up).
3. After winning a combat, the character and Isegrim each lose half of their
remaining hit points (rounded down).
