## Description
Get ready to boost your Sword & Sorcery adventures with the Skeld Hero Pack! If you enjoy adding characters with strong personalities and unique abilities to your party, this pack is for you. Skeld, the legendary dwarf, arrives to show what a stubborn and resilient warrior is capable of, whether in his relentless Slayer form, who doesn't know the word 'retreat,' or as a Berserker, mastering blood rage to deliver devastating blows. This expansion brings two detailed miniatures of Skeld (normal and ethereal Ghost Soul forms), his Soul Gem, and new cards, including three powerful items: the sharp Tomahawk, the golden axe, and the legendary Furioso. With mechanics like action points, area movement, and variable powers, Skeld adds an extra layer of strategy and combat to the already immersive Sword & Sorcery universe. It's the right choice for those who want more variety and epic challenges in their cooperative fantasy campaigns, especially if you're already a fan of the base game and looking to expand your hero options. Language dependency is moderate, so having translated cards or a reference sheet handy will greatly aid immersion.
