* HouseRules:
** The meeples are not mentioned in the game rules, but the Kickstarter FAQ page suggests some potential uses.
** Since adding classes from the expansion makes it easier to collect a party of six different types of heroes, the designer suggests removing a base class for each expansion class added as a house rule.
** Some players may instead choose to play with requiring one of each types of hero, rather than just six different kinds.

* JokeCharacter: Napping Nibbles' ability is simply "do nothing". Its only use it to fill a Bard slot or be sacraficed.


Added DiffLines:

* QuirkyBard: While there are no universal rules connecting hero abilities to their class, most classes have a general "theme" in their functionality (i.e. thieves usually steal cards from other players, rangers collect information and draw from the deck, etc.) Bard abilities tend to be a grab bag of situational effects, like swapping your hand with another player, swapping itself with another player's hero, or [[JokeCharacter doing nothing]].
