HOW TO READ A STAT CARD Look at the stat card displayed below. For the battle <strong>rules</strong>, we’re only going to talk about the side used for competitive play. Name Match the name on each stat card to the name on the base of the miniature, using the picture on the stat card to help you. Stat Card Miniature Base Faction Symbol Name Commander Rating Collector Number Set Icon Faction Cost Cost Name Rarity Symbol Copyright Notice Statistics Commander Effect (if any) Special Abilities (if any) Spells (if any) Flavor Text Set Icon/Collector Number/Rarity Symbol Copyright Notice Commander Rating Some creatures are commanders and can influence other creatures. Only commanders have a Commander rating. The higher the Commander rating, the better. Faction Symbol Your warband belongs to a specific faction: Lawful Good (LG), Chaotic Good (CG), Lawful Evil (LE), or Chaotic Evil (CE). Each creature’s stat card has a symbol that identifies which faction or factions it can fight for. Two Factions: A few creatures have symbols for two different factions and so can be added to warbands of either. Any Faction: Some creatures have symbols for all four factions and so can be added to any warband. 4
Cost The cost is the number of points you pay to add a creature to your warband. This is also the number used to determine victory points. Statistics This section provides information you need to play a battle. Level (Save): You add this number to a roll when the creature makes a save to avoid the effects of a spell or to resist running away. Speed: The number of squares the creature can move. A creature that does not attack or cast a spell can move up to twice its Speed. AC: (Armor Class) Any attack roll result against this creature that equals or exceeds this number is a hit and deals damage to the creature. HP: (Hit Points) When a creature’s HP total is reduced to 0, the creature is destroyed and removed from the battle map. Melee Attack: When attacking enemy creatures in adjacent squares (including diagonally), use the Melee Attack number. Roll a d20 (a 20-sided die) and add the number outside the parentheses. If the result equals or exceeds the enemy’s AC, the melee attack hits. Damage: The number inside the parentheses shows how much damage the creature deals with a successful melee attack. Additional Attacks: Some creatures can make more than one melee attack. The attack numbers are separated by a slash (/). In most cases, each attack deals the same amount of damage. If different attacks deal different damage, the damage numbers are listed in the same order as the attack numbers and are also separated by a slash. Ranged Attack: Use this number to attack enemies within line of sight (usually more than 1 square away). Otherwise it works like a melee attack. Most creatures do not have a ranged attack. Type: The sort of creature it is. All creature types are listed in the glossary. This line may include one or more keywords separated by dashes that define the creature for the purpose of game effects. Sometimes a creature’s type includes characteristics that are important in play, and some special abilities or spells affect only certain creatures. If the creature is Tiny, Small, Large, or Huge, that information is also here. A creature with no size information is Medium. Commander Effect Commanders grant special bonuses to followers within 6 squares of them. Sometimes a commander effect targets enemy creatures. A few commander effects can influence other commanders in your warband, but these are the exception. Special Abilities These include the creature’s special attacks, resistances, and weaknesses (if any). When a specific special ability contradicts a general rule, that ability takes precedence. See the glossary at the end of this booklet for details on specific special abilities. Some special abilities can be used only a limited number of times. These have boxes ), ( one box for each use. Spells Some creatures can cast spells. Most spells can be used only a limited number of times. These have boxes (), one box for each use. 5
