Special Rules
Terror -- The sight of an Elf lord in his power causes Evil creatures to recoil in fear. This Hero causes Terror as described in the main rules manual.

Stormcaller -- The Hero has learned to channel the elemental forces of the wind with devestating results. The first time this rule is chosen, the Hero gains the Nature’s Wrath magical power, which is cast on a 4+. The second time, he gains access to the Call Winds magical power (found in the White Dwarf article “Reinforcements”) which has a range of 12” and is cast on a 2+. If, when casting a spell, the dice rolled is a natural 6, no Will is expended to cast the power.

**A note about Woodland Realms Battle Companies**
Thanks to their incredibly long lives, Elves have a long time to hone their skills in battle. Elven heroes may increase their Fight value to 7, instead of 6 like other races.

I have a buddy who is wanting to playtest this one, so it should be a lot of fun.

All of these new BCs that you have produced are very thematic and well thought out. I should be able to start play testing the Dunland and Rohan companies next week and then in the middle of August with my friend. Would you like me to do a battle report for a game or two?
Keep up the amazing progress

Thanks, Cyndra.

Battle reports are always great, but what would be most helpful is if you can keep a list of any errors you might see, ambiguous wording, or game balance issues. I really appreciate the offer to help, and I will be happy to credit you as one of the playtesters when the book is finished!
