Update: after extensive meetings with Mr. Three-horn and his representatives, changes will be made to team build allowed for Three-horn Cup.
One Star Player may be purchased with your initial budget of 1.1M gp, as long as the rest of your roster fits the roster creation rules (i.e.; eleven players). That Star Player is considered ‘rostered’ to your team, and rules for upkeep in Death Zone: Season Two apply. The upkeep is removed from your available inducement budget before the game.
Teams that receive a discount on inducements (Halflings and Goblins) may purchase, or ‘roster’, their specific discounted inducement (Master Chef/bribe) but will pay upkeep as if the inducement was a Star Player using the upkeep rules from Death Zone: Season Two.
The Facebook About page and other rules pages will be updated with the new rules shortly.
Nikk is excited about these changes, and is sure they will even the field for his Three-horn Cup.
