About the game
What you do in a play session
If you've already delved into the dungeons of 'Four Against Darkness' and are looking for some extra spice, this collection is for you! The 'Concise Collection of Classes' introduces nine new character options to supercharge your explorations, each with its own special way of facing dangers. Think of the assassin who loves a surprise attack, the fire elf who sees with heat, the harlequin who fights and juggles simultaneously, or the ogre mercenary, slow but practically indestructible. And there's more: there's the monk, a martial arts specialist, the elder who guides the group, the wilderness guide for those who brave the wilds, and the cunning lutin who disappears and plays tricks. As if that weren't enough, the book also unveils six dwarven clans, each with unique skills and patrons that can give you a boost (or get you into trouble!). Want to fight for the rune magic-wielding Miner clans, the savage Pelters, the Dragonslayers, the martial Iron Hands, the Outcasts, or the evil Possessed? To top it all off, new rules for crossbows and harquebuses are included! It's plenty of content for those who love to deepen their experience and customize every adventure.
