Promo Dice Abilities
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dragonlord:
 - This is a white huge (22 mm) die that counts as a 4 health unit.
 - It can cast any color of magic.
 - If the ID or TSR logo comes up on the dragonlord when a dragon attacks his
   army, the dragon is tamed!  The battle ends with no damage to either side;
   the dragonlord controls the beast.  During future turns, when the dragon
   would battle an opponent's army, you decide whether the attack occurs.
   During your turns, you can have it battle any army at the same terrain, or
   none at all.  And during your reserve step, the dragonlord can "ride" its
   dragon to any terrain in play.
 - The TSR logo produces no effect except when rolled during a dragon's 
   attack.
 - Restrictions: A dragonlord can master only one dragon at a time.  If he is
   killed or goes to reserve, the dragon remains behind untamed.
 - Sides: ID, Mel(4), Cantr(4), Smite(4), Fly(4), TSR
 - Given out at conventions during summer 1995.

Dragonmaster:
 - This is a huge (22 mm) die that comes in each of the 5 colors.
 - Functions just like the Dragonlord, except: 
   1) it can only tame dragons of its own color. 
   2) it can only cast magic of its own color. 
   3) The TSR icon counts as a 1/2 strength ID face (but does not count as 
      an ID face for rout checks.
 - Sides are identical to the Dragonlord.
 - Given out at conventions in later 1995 and early 1996 and from TSR hobby 
   shop mail order.

Dragonslayer:
 - This is a white huge (22 mm) die that counts as a 4 health unit.
 - Only one White Dragonslayer die can be included for every 24 points in
   your forces.
 - If the TSR logo comes up on the Dragonslayer when a dragon attacks his 
   army, the dragon is instantly slain!  The battle ends with no damage to
   the Dragonslayer's side.  The TSR logo doesn't count for anything else when
   rolling for other results.
 - Then the White Dragonslayer's melee icon comes up in melee combat, it
   counts as 4 points of damage.  When it comes up at any other time (meaning
   saves, missiles and magic but not maneuvers), it instantly slays any unit
   at the terrain with no saves possible.
 - The Dragonslayer is immune to all dragon breaths; further, it extends this
   immunity to the rest of the army it is with.
 - Restrictions: Armies with Dragonslayers in them cannot promote units when
   they defeat a dragon.
 - Given out via a mail-in offer with the first Dragon Dice novel, which went
   up for sale in Summer 1996.

The King's Die:
 - This is a purple huge (22 mm) die that counts as a 4 health unit.
 - It is put into your reserve area during setup, never leaves the reserves,
   and it cannot be attacked or targeted by spells.
 - The five sides of the die depict kings of the five races in the Dragon Dice
   game and first kicker pack.  If you have units in reserve at the start of
   your turn, roll this die.  If a king comes up, you may "promote" any 
   reserve units of this race (trading each for a "dead" nonmonster die of the
   same race but worth 1 health more).  If the TSR logo comes up, choose any 
   one race for promotion.
 - Sides: ID, Amazon, Coral Elf, Dwarf, Goblin, Lava Elf

   terrain to any other terrain.
