Updated Desert of Desolation Stats

[Kwalish Kid]

The 2.0 cards for the Desert of Desolation minis are available:

I'm sure that whatever changes there are, or aren't, to the spined devil will cause a thread's worth of speculation.

I see there's still a Capricious Copper Dragon in there. Was this the set in which all of the minis were going to be appearing in the Monster Manual for 4e? Because if so, I don't think that agrees with what we've been told RE: metallic dragons in the MM.

It does seem as if retrofitting a DDM card to a D&D4E stat block won't be terribly difficult.

Cheers,

Is this not really old news?

Wizards just recently re-issued the updated stat cards, with changes from the playtesting they got from first time around.

IIRC:

In: Pure metals (gold, silver, copper)
Out: Alloys (brass, bronze)
New: Iron, adamantine.

So no contradiction having a Capricious Copper in that minis set

We've been told that there are no metallics in the MM1. However, as far as I recall, DoD was the set where all but one of the creatures was slated to be in the MM1. Why they don't say that anymore though, I don't know.
