Errata

• Dwarf Artificer: The rust construct spell, which lists a lot of nasty things that happen to the target of the spell, fails to clarify in the spell's text that only constructs are valid targets of the spell. Non-constructs aren't affected, so only warforged, golems, and the like have to fear this spell. - Rob Heinsoo.

Designer Comments

• Deathknell and Angelfire are 200 point sets. They do have plenty of minis that are interesting in 100 and 500 but they are basically 200 point sets. - Mike Donais
• The Minotaur skeleton is better with Deathknell, especially with the new necromancer. - Mike Donais
• More Chainmail equivalents are coming. A few in Deathknell and a few in the set after that, certainly. - Rob Heinsoo
• We'll start running previews in December, and will preview a big bunch of minis before we're done. I'm inserting this note because I showed my wife the Deathknell set the other day. She doesn't play D&D but she usually thinks the minis sets are pretty cool-looking. Not so cool-looking that she spends much time with them, though. Deathknell was the exception. I kept her entertained for over ten minutes pulling minis out of the box one at a time. In her opinion, it was the best set we've done. That's the opinion of someone who treats these minis only as eye-candy. But I think the content of the set matches the set's looks, so I'm really looking forward to this one coming out. - Rob Heinsoo
• Mina is not in Deathknell (unique has a double meaning in Deathknell, it would seem), and she won't be legal until July or so. - Stephen Schubert (There is only one Unique in Deathknell - Rask, Half-Orc Chainfighter)
