Special Abilities
Breath Weapons—There are 3 types of breath weapons that a creature can pos-
sess, fire, ice , or gas.

Fire or Ice: This ability enables the creature to fill a cone with fire or ice. All fig-
ures caught in the must make a morale check at +2 to their normal die roll. This
type of breath attack may not be used if the creature was engaged at the begin-
ning of the turn. The cone dimensions are 2‖ at the base, 6‖ long, and 4‖ wide at
the end.

Gas: This ability enables the creature to fill a cone with deadly gas. All figures
caught in the cone must make their normal armor and shield saving throw or
die. This ability can be used even if the creature is engaged. The cone is the same
as the fire and ice.

Lightning: this ability enables the creature to throw a lightning bolt with a mis-
sile value of 4. The maximum range is 14‖. The lightning bolt may be thrown at
one figure, if hit the target has its armor value halved, rounding up.

Flight: Creatures have the ability to fly. (note: apply to ―human‖ figures too)
10‖ for armor value of 5.
12‖ for armor value of 3 or 4.
14‖ for armor value of 2.
16:‖ for armor value of 1.
As in normal movement, armor counts only body armor, not shields. Figures
flying have an 8‖ charge bonus.
Flying figures can not take off or land within 1‖ of a forest. They must land an
inch away from a non flying figure and then advance to combat. There is no
combat between a flying and non flying creature. Bows can be used at a range of
14‖.

ard to fight any other Wizard, one to one with fireballs. If Successful, the Wiz-
ard selects opponent and the duel commences. Each Wizard rolls 1d6 for each
level they are. (novice gets 1d6, advanced gets 3d6) This is the number of fire-
balls they have. The combat is done in a number of rounds with the Wizard

Fantasy Creatures continued
Mind Control: This ability enables a creature to take control of a figure’s mind.
The maximum range is 14‖. Roll 1d6 with a 1-3 being successful. If the creature
takes control of a figure it will do anything the creature wishes! A figure may
break this mind control by rolling it morale value during the morale phase. This
is done at the beginning of movement.
Crusher: This ability enables a creature to have one of its 3 attacks be even more
deadly. A creature with Crusher must declare which of the 3 attacks will be the
Crusher before rolls are made. If hit, the target’s armor value is halved round-
ing down.
Jump: A creature can jump obstacles a maximum of 4‖. This negates the move-
ment penalty of the object and is considered part of normal movement.
Fantasy Mounts
Certain fantasy characters or races may use mounts other than horses, including
wolves, lions, unicorns, lizards, and various winged creatures. Great warriors
might ride on trained war horses. These rules allow a mount to have additional
attributes. A single mount could have just one , or any combination of the at-
tributes below.
Winged Mounts: If the mount can fly, use Creature Flight rules.
Ferocious Mount: A mount may itself be able to strike in combat. In this case,
the figure gets another strike., with a separate fighting value for the mount. Fe-
rocious mounts are uniquely difficult to control. Only a hero figure may ride
them.
Frightening Mount: Some fantasy mounts are extremely frightening . Historical-
ly, camels had this effect on horses. Fantasy creatures can do this as well. The-
se creatures cause a moral check when contacting another figure. A figure only
checks once a turn for a specific frightening mount.
 Wizards and Spells
The principles of magic are any figure may be a wizard. The figure must
then be given 2 additional attributes to make them a wizard. The first is
to make that figure a wizard, and the second is the spells that wizard can
use.

successful. There are 3 levels:
