The rulebook for heroes state for deployment, "
A player must have a Lore Master of the same class as the Hero on his camp’s War Council or
the Hero may not be deployed
."
Is this true if your hero is a commander? Is he a Lore Master?
I vaguely remember that a question from the base rules when determining how many lore tokens and starting cards you received at the start of a scenario, which was based on the highest level Lore Master on your council, excluded the level of your commander.
