## Description
Looking to level up your Sword & Sorcery campaign? The Samyria Hero Pack is the missing piece! Samyria, the daughter of the earth, arrives as either a Druid or a Shaman, offering two distinct play styles: a deep bond with nature or a connection to spirits from the other world. As a Druid, she can summon roots that entangle foes and, in a burst of power, transform into a massive bear, gaining resilience and attack strength. In Shaman form, Samyria creates soul totems that shift the battlefield’s mood and calls Bjorn, her trusty bear companion, to fight alongside her. The pack includes two Samyria miniatures (normal and ghost‑soul form), a Bjorn bear miniature, a Soul Gem, and new cards, including the legendary Dream Catcher and the Force of Nature weapon. All of this fits neatly into the modular board of the base game, but remember: you need Sword & Sorcery: Immortal Souls to play. Action points, area movement, and dice rolling keep the pace intense, while cooperative play ensures every decision matters. If you love epic campaigns, detailed miniatures, and a hero who can shift forms, Samyria brings more excitement and strategy to your group. Get ready to battle darkness with a touch of druidic magic or spirit summoning—whatever your style, the Hero Pack has something for you!
