Heroes of Battle will be available May 5th!

This is looking like a good book. I have a spot I maybe able to use this for too. Might be time to cash in my Amazon gift card.

Not bad...

I'm more interested in Champions of Ruin, but I am curious, some stats on the mounts, details on the following spells "Animate Legion", Molten Strike, Details on Dread Commando, and Legendary Leader,

Plus details on the magic stuff.

 

[Laman Stahros]

OK, we have references to the Miniatures Handbook and stuff about command auras. Does that mean the marshal from the MH receives even a nod? They'd be dumb as hell not to give this class a spotlight here.

Unfortunatly, the marshal gets no love. The healer gets 1 new spell, the hexblade gets 2 new spells. The commander auras are based on the mini game and is tied to something called commander ratings.

One of my favorite things in Heroes of Battle is the Siege Engine stats, though the info on arrow volleys and morale checks is interesting.

p.s. Just found the section on promotions, cool!

Don't suppose there's any mention of summoning fiends to fight in battle in this book?

 

[Laman Stahros]

Nothing I can find off hand. No spells for that, but I have yet to read it cover to cover.

 

[Nightfall]

Just checking.

Not just lame, but laaaaaaaaame.

If people are interested in the Table of Contents and the one page introduction, I'll post em here. (WotC can thank me later for the free publicity ).

WotC just posted the entire Introduction on their website, but thanks for all the typing anyway, Steel.

Uhmm not quite. My OmnipagePro 12 was equal to the task.

I added the formatting.
