Publisher's description:
"Fighting with a blade and fighting with a spell are the same thing done different ways. Speed and skill and a focused mind are all that each requires." - Jaes, Battlemage
The Battlemage character deck introduces new mechanics and rules for character advancement and interaction. Add the abilities of a Battlemage to any character you may choose for Runebound and expand your powers and abilities, or mix your Battlemage character deck with any of the five others available to produce your own, completely unique hero!
From the box:
Character decks offer an exciting new way to increase player interaction in the Runebound fantasy adventure board game. Now your opponents can play cards to make your adventures even more menacing - and you can play special cards that give your Hero a bonus when he or she needs it the most. However, you must utilize your newfound knowledge wisely, because every action has a cost!
