Game rules - DDM Guild

Leap (Replaces attacks: make a single melee attack at +[#], [#] damage) Earlier printings of this
ability didn’t note that it launched a single melee attack.
Level (Save): (Creature Statistic) Add this number to the die roll whenever a creature makes a
save. This statistic is sometimes referred to as “level.”
In previous editions of the rules, stat cards listed Save +/– [#] or Save = [#] as special abilities
instead of a Level (Save) number.
Level Drain (Whenever this creature’s melee attack deals damage to a living creature, the
damaged creature gets attack –1 and save –1, and this creature gets +5 hp) The hit points
gained by this ability stack with themselves.
Life Drain [#] (If target is a living creature, this creature gets +[#] hp [maximum [#] hp]) The hit
points gained by this ability stack with themselves, to the listed maximum.
Limited format: In a league or tournament, this refers to battles between warbands composed
of creatures drawn from a small pool of miniatures. Unlike Out of the Box, in some Limitedformat
skirmishes players do not use all the creatures in their pools to build their warbands.
Such games allow access to summon spells and abilities such as Minions that put new
creatures onto the battle map, if a player’s pool includes qualified creatures that are not part
of his or her warband. Out of the Box and other Limited formats don’t observe the 70% limit
for the cost of a creature. Thus, a creature costing more than 70 points can be part of a 100-
point Limited warband, and a creature that costs more than 140 points can be part of a 200-
point Limited warband.
line 12: (Range) A spell or effect with a range of
line 12 affects creatures in a straight line away
from the acting creature toward the nearest
enemy or ally. A line does not affect creatures
more than 12 squares away. Trace a line from
a corner of a square in the acting creature’s
space to a different corner of a square in the
target creature’s space. The line affects all
squares that the line goes through or touches
until it touches or crosses terrain that blocks
line of effect. (Don’t count the corner where
the line starts.) The line continues to its full
range, usually going past the target and
possibly affecting more creatures. The same
corner can’t be chosen for both the starting
point and the target of the effect.
line of effect: Line of effect is nearly always the
same as line of sight (see below). A few
special effects, such as wall of force, block line
of effect: They prevent attacking or affecting a
space with special abilities and spells, but they
do not block line of sight to that space.
line of sight: Two creatures have line of sight to
each other unless walls are in the way. If you
can trace even a single line between two
creatures that doesn’t touch a wall, they have
line of sight to each other. See the diagram on
page 15.
Certain effects, such as forest terrain or
Invisible, also prevent line of sight.
living: All creatures are living, except for Construct and Undead creatures.
