Soloman Kane This expansion does make some modifications to the starting tile set, as well as providing two possible playing options for the expansion set. When using The Duke: Robert E. Howard Expansion you replace the following tiles in the core game: Conan = Champion Kull = Wizard Agnes = Ranger Solomon Kane = Priest The rulebook for this expansion provides two ways to incorporate these tiles into the game. 1.
