Brace yourself for a random encounter dominated bydemons, devils, and other outsiders, along with a horde of heroes,villains, and monsters. Taken straight from D&D rulebooks, such asthe Monster Manual, Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, MiniaturesHandbook, Psionics Handbook, and Savage Species, these characters areready for battle -- right out of the box.
Each Archfiends expansion pack contains 8 randomlyselected, prepainted, fully assembled, collectible miniatures withdouble-sided statistic cards for use with the D&D roleplaying gameor for fast-paced head-to-head combat.
"The set also features specific iconic characters fromthe Forgotten Realms world, including drow elf Drizzt Do'Urden, thecentral figure in the New York Times best-selling series of R.A.Salvatore novels."
The checklist that comes with the new archfiends expansionscontains several rules updates and clarifications on its flip side:specifically, the rules regarding psionics, the 'phase out' ability,and the reserve pool variant rule for out of the box games. It alsocontains a lengthy clarification of two of the Champion of Eilistraee'scommander effects, namely that her followers wielding swords gain +2 toattack and +2 ac, and that she has the warband building ability withregards to drow. In the example given, it is suggested that as it isnot always explicit whether a minature has a sword of some kind, orwhether they are considered drow, the flip side of the card containingthe D&D rules should be consulted as they better list the existanceof swords in the creatures arsenal, and whether they have the drowsubtype, also going on to give a list of weapons considered to be'swords'.
