The '''Overlord''' is a role taken by one of the players, and acts as the main antagonist for the hero players. Each [[Overlord Turn|turn]], the Overlord uses his or her own special abilities and activates any minions under his or her control, such as [[Zombie]]s or [[Ettin]]s, or ally [[lieutenant]]s. Each quest included in the [[Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition)|Second Edition Base Game]] provides victory conditions for both the player heroes and the player Overlord. The Overlord must often complete an objective, such as moving certain monsters to specific areas, or discover a certain item before the heroes. The Overlord utilizes special abilities presented in the [[Overlord deck|deck]] of [[Overlord Card]]s.

==Overlord Classes==
Within each class, there are three levels of cards available to the overlord player (such as "Warlord 1" or "Magus 3"). Level 1 cards cost one experience point, level 2 cards cost two experience points, and level 3 cards cost three experience points. In order for an Overlord to use a level 2 card, he or she must first currently have two Level 1 cards of that class in his or her deck. In order to purchase a level 3 card the Overlord must purchase three other cards of that class (in any combination of level 1 and 2 cards). The Overlord, unlike the heroes, is not limited in the choice of classes.

There are different classes of upgraded Overlord Cards:

Introduced in the base game:
*[[Warlord]]
*[[Saboteur]]
*[[Magus]]

Introduced in [[Lair of the Wyrm]]:
*[[Punisher]]

The Shadowmancer class is introduced in the [[Shadow of Nerekhall]] expansion, and allows the Overlord to force the heroes apart, potentially turning them against each other and forcing them to split up.

==[[Enchanter]]==

==[[Unkindness]]==
The Unkindness class is introduced in the [[Manor of Ravens]] expansion, providing the overlord with a [[Servant]], the [[Raven Flock]]. The majority of cards found in the Unkindness class deck increases the abilities and power of the Raven Flock.

The '''Overlord''' is a role taken by one of the players, and acts as the main antagonist for the heroes. Each [[Overlord Turn|turn]], the Overlord uses his or her own special abilities and activates any minions under his or her control, such as [[Zombie]]s or [[Ettin]]s, or ally [[lieutenant]]s. Each quest included in the [[Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition)|Second Edition Base Game]] provides victory conditions for both the player heroes and the player Overlord. The Overlord must often complete an objective, such as moving certain monsters to specific areas, or discover a certain item before the heroes. The Overlord utilizes special abilities presented in the [[Overlord deck|deck]] of [[Overlord Card]]s.

Level 1 cards cost one experience point, level 2 cards cost two experience points, and level 3 cards cost three experience points. In order for an Overlord to use a level 2 card, he or she must first currently have two Level 1 cards of that class in his or her deck. The Overlord, unlike the heroes, is not limited in the choice of classes.
