 A
combat dial is the rotating disk found under each Mage Knight
warrior’s base. By using a combat dial, no complicated
record sheets or damage tables are needed to play Mage Knight.
Instead, a warrior’s combat abilities are all shown on
its base top or on the combat dial viewable through the stat
slot.
Each
time your warrior takes a click of damage during the game,
you click the bottom of the combat dial clockwise to the next
set of numbers. Try it! Each time your warrior takes damage,
his combat dial numbers change. Usually, a figure will become
weaker as he takes more and more damage. When three skulls
show up on the combat dial, the warrior is eliminated and
removed from the battle.
 The
combat dial contains the figure’s combat values. Some
values contain a colored square or circle, as well. These
colors indicate the warrior’s special abilities like
Magic Immunity and Weapon Master. All special abilities are
described on the Mage Knight Special Abilities Card. Use the
card when you are playing the game to remind you what special
abilities your warriors have.
Here’s a description of a warrior’s combat values.
Speed
This value appears next to the boot symbol. It is the number
of inches your warrior can move.
Attack
This value appears next to the sword symbol. When your warrior
attacks, roll 2 six-sided dice and add this attack value to
the result to see if you hit the target!
Defense
This value appears next to the shield symbol. When your warrior
is attacked, he is only hit if the attack total is equal to
or higher than this number. Otherwise, the attack misses.
Damage
This value appears next to the starburst symbol. On a successful
hit, your warrior delivers clicks of damage equal to this
value to the figures he attacked.
Range
This value appears on the base next to the arrow symbol. It
is the distance in inches your warrior can make an attack
against a figure.
