Hall of Fame
The most famous commanders in a given game of Dominions are recognised by admittance into the Hall of Fame. Each commander in the Hall of Fame receives a Heroic Ability, such as increased strength, which will continuously improve as long as they remain in the Hall of Fame.
Who is considered the most famous is decided by their number of kills, experience, afflictions and deaths. All commanders can get into the Hall of Fame, except for Pretenders, the God Vessels, the Legion of Gods, and monsters with the #unique tag, such as elemental royalty.
Hall of Fame Value
Heroic abilities scale according to the hero's assigned Hall of Fame Value, which continuously increases as long as the hero remains in the Hall of Fame. The HoF Value starts at 100, and increases by a variable amount each turn depending on the current value as shown in the table below (all dice non-exploding):
| Current HoF Value | Die Size |
|---|---|
| 100-199 | 1d20 |
| 200-299 | 1d10 |
| 300+ | 1d5 |
Heroic Abilities
When a commander enters the Hall of Fame they are given a single heroic ability. There is a 5% chance to be given one of the rare heroic abilities instead of a common. HoF Value is abbreviated to "Value" for the purposes of calculating the strength of these abilities.
