Delve Class Guidelines + Blank Mission Sheets

How do you assign a delve class to your delves? I expected the delve creation rules to have a method for assigning the delve class, but it does not. What factors should decide a delve's class?

When you roll for distance in markers, does this value represent total markers required to reach the farthest point from entrance or just raw markers distance downwards?

I've noticed quite a few of the PDFs referenced in the Core Rules aren't actually available on the downloads page; are those somewhere else, forthcoming, or just abandoned content? I can't find the trekking hex maps or a blank mission briefing template.

Hi!

Delve class is assigned by the Explorers Guild based on estimated depth, assumed Blight levels, and dangers – but is not always correct. It's not unheard of ruins to be reclassified after expeditions.

We haven't set a specific way for the GM to classify the delves, but would suggest that the tables, Depth, Entrances, and Key Locations (Core Rules, page 257), and Blight Infestation Level, are used, where the first entry in each table should signal Class I and the lower rows Class III-IV.

Regarding distance in markers, we meant the deepest or furthest point in the ruin.

We will get the blanks for hex maps and mission briefing published, can't give exact ETA though.

Hope that helps :)
