About the game
What you do in a play session
If you are a fan of Descent: Journeys in the Dark and feel your 'Manor of Ravens' sessions need more physical presence and threat, the Skarn Lieutenant Pack is the upgrade that changes everything on the table. Forget that dull cardboard token; you now have a detailed, sculpted miniature of Skarn, the mysterious guardian, to strike fear into the hearts of the heroes. Skarn's backstory is a treat for those who love dark lore: was he a faithful guardian of the wizard's manor or just a wild magical manifestation after his master's death? Regardless of his origin, what matters is the havoc he wreaks.
Beyond the miniature, the pack includes a ten-card Plot deck that expands the Overlord's tactical options. With these cards, you can grant Skarn and your monsters regenerative abilities, making combat much more tense and challenging for the players. The highlight here is versatility: you can summon Skarn as an agent in almost any quest, even those where he doesn't originally appear. This opens up a huge range of strategic possibilities. In battle, he is a true tank: resilient to damage and capable of healing mid-fight. If the heroes group up too closely, prepare to see Skarn attacking multiple targets simultaneously, forcing the party to think twice before surrounding him. It is an excellent addition for those looking to add a more epic and immersive 'boss fight' feel to their Descent campaigns.
