Rune mechanics

[sculptwig]

I have not used runes yet. Can someone give me a summary of which runes do what, benefits of altar types etc? I'd like to know pros and cons of using them vs. leaving them alone.

There are no cons. Some people don’t like them because they’re not really something you focus on, they’re just currency you accumulate as you do other things and combine into more powerful currency (consecrate action on altars) and eventually spend (invoke action) for unique effects to do with creatures. It’s intended for you to experiment with runes to figure out what they do when you invoke them, but if you want exact spoilers there’s another steam discussion somewhere where I gave specifics I think

Short version: good runes make mobs leave you alone for a while, bad runes make mobs spawn, neutral runes permanently change the mob spawns in that zone in various ways.
