D&D Miniatures: Set 4 - Giants of Legend Huge Pack - $19.99

This is the fourth set of the miniature game. It was released in June 2004.

The Huge Pack contains a randomized selection of figures designed to expand any collection of Dungeons & Dragons miniatures. Figures in this set are chosen directly from key D&D titles, including the Miniatures Handbook, Expanded Psionics Handbook and the new Eberron Campaign Setting. Also, in honor of the 30th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons, the set contains characters and creatures made popular during the history of the game.

In addition, there are twelve miniatures are much larger than any miniatures released to date and are representative of classic, larger-than-life D&D icons such as giants and dragons.

Huge Pack components:

Nine randomized, pre-painted plastic miniatures, including one huge miniature. Statistics cards for each miniature.

Designers' Notes

Mike Donais

The 4th set is named Giants of Legend. How it will be sold exactly may not match what is in the WotC catalogue. The catalogue text was written many months ago and the set isn't out for many months still so there is opportunity for it to be not entirely correct.

It is not a starter set and is not 80 minis.

The set is quite cool.

Rob Heinsoo

Giants of Legend will only be sold in one size box that contains nine minis: the 8 in the rarity mix you've become accustomed to plus a Huge mini.

Rules Insert

Save=10:

Many high level creatures have this ability. When making saves, including morale saves, such creatures always add 10 to the roll instead of adding their level. When making morale saves, they still get to add the Commander rating of a commander within range.

Lich Necromancer's Commander Effect:

The Lich Necromancer has the ability to transform destroyed enemies within range into Undead creatures under its command. This has the following consequences:

Like summoned creatures, newly created Undead creatures do not activate on the round they are created. They do not add to a warband's cost, and opponents do not score victory points for them.

Only one new Undead creature is created per living creature destroyed in this way, even if more than one Lich Necromancer is in range. If two or more players control Liches that could create the new Undead creature, dice off to see which one does so.

The newly created Undead creature must be a miniature from the collection of the player controlling that Lich Necromancer. A player who does not have an appropriate miniature handy is out of luck.

In Limited play, this Commander Effect functions only so long as your limited pool of miniatures includes legal Undead creatures. Once eliminated, such a miniature could be used again later in the same skirmish.

Baaz Draconians and creatures with the Death Burst ability are immune to this Commander Effect. (No corpse remains to animate.)

Living Construct:

Creatures with the Living Construct ability have only limited immunities. They do not have Fearless. They have the special ability Immune Level Drain, Paralysis, Poison, Sleep. They can be healed like living creatures, and Confusion, critical hits, Dominate, flanking, Incite, Sneak Attack, and Stun affect them normally.

Tiny Creatures

The GoL set also introduces a Tiny creature, the Quasit, with a 12mm base. Most Tiny creatures have the Tiny Reach ability, which prevents them form making attacks of opportunity. Otherwise Tiny creatures are like other creatures.
