Ag or Res but these are retained in brackets should the dragon be slain leaving the rider, who can sustain a wound, to fight

of an Elven hero, and both Tough and Wound on the Hero’s stats are bracketed because neither are used by the combined

sort such things out for themselves.
Well, when Warlords of Erehwon was first published I
never imagined folks would be quite so keen on filling
their games with monsters - which just goes to show what
I know. These additional notes will therefore try and
address some of the questions that have been asked by
players seeking guidance. As I hope should be clear from
the text, it really is up to players to decide whether and
how to use this list. That said, here are some of the things
that have been queried.
If players agree to use units from his list does than mean
they can be used as mounts by characters? Well - we know
that’s up to the players - but it’s only fair to be specific
about monstrosity riders. So, agree to use monsters by all
means, but if you want to mount characters on monstrosi-
ties this should be agreed specifically.
If I mount a wizard on a monstrosity with two or three
order dice does that mean the wizard can cast two or three
spells - one each time an order is issued? Again - I think we
know the answer - a wizard can only make one attempt
to cast a spell in a turn, and that applies regardless of how
many order dice - or actions - the wizard has.
When I mount a character on a monstrosity what happens
to the unit’s bodyguards? Well - unluckily you lose them
- except for a wizard’s spirits which can tag along. If such
things are of concern, you can deduct the cost of body-
guards lost from the points value of the new combined
