Darrak Ambershard

Darrak Ambershard is a Dwarf Rogue and one of the heroes in the Battle for the Underdark Master Set in the alternate storyline of D&D Heroscape. He fights for Aquilla, as part of the newly found alliance against Utgar. Darrak sneaks across the battlefield, hiding in shadows until he finds the right moment to strike! Using stealth and guile, he catches enemies by surprise and finds the chinks in their armor.

Darrak sparked a controversy amongst players, Heroscape Dwarves had already been well established as small figures by Migol Ironwill and The Axegrinders of Burning Forge, however bizarrely Wizards of the Coast made Darrak a medium size figure (later compounding the error by making Mogrimm Forgehammer a medium as well) the same size as many humans and elves.

The fixes needed for his card were fairly simple, The entire card style was corrected to the Swamp type firstly. The "Hide in Darkness" power was a perfectly fine power, but depended on the Dungeon master set for its boosts - so was replaced with Adjacent Toughness 1 power, which now gives Aquilla an allegiance power. "Disarm Traps" is a power that is only useful if playing with Treasure Glyphs - which classic Heroscape doesn't have, so is replaced with "Climb X2". His size is lowered to Small 3 and homeplanet to Feylund.
