Skills

Leader

Inherent

Allied, non-animal units within 5" of this unit can use this unit's Morale stat for Checks instead of their own.

Arcane Magic

Spellcasting

This unit is capable of casting Arcane Magic. See the relevant spell list for a list of learnable spells. As an Arcane Caster, this unit has an innate 'Basic' spell that is always castable and is in addition to other spells learnt. It also only has a single weapon slot which must be a melee weapon and is unable to use armour or a shield.

Vanguard

Agility

This unit may never pick up Treasure tokens. After unit deployment, but before any player takes their first turn, this unit may perform a Move. If multiple players have units with this skill, resolve it in turn order.

Spread Blight (Minor)

Inherent

If this unit Incapacitates an enemy in Melee, that unit must make a Morale Check. If they fail it, they immediately contract the Blight. This unit is immune to the Blight. If this unit is Incapacitated in Melee, nothing happens.

Animal

This unit cannot Promote, use ladders (except by making a full Climb Check), pick up Treasure, benefit from the 'Leader' skill or use equipment (but is not penalised for fighting Unarmed).

Cowardly

Fear

Large

Inherent

This unit may not be purchased at warband creation. It counts as two units for the purpose of Rout Checks. It cannot pick up Treasure. This unit is immune to the Blight.

Ranged Weapon Effects

Light

This weapon may be used with a Shield.

Close Quarters

Your target does not receive a bonus to their Defence if you Moved before Shooting this turn.

Long Reload

You may not use this weapon if it was fired in the previous turn.

Dual-Wield

You may purchase this weapon up to two times and wield both at once without using an additional weapon slot. If you do, you have Advantage on attacks with the weapon.

Blackpowder

Whenever a 1 is rolled during a Ranged Attack, the weapon misfires. Immediately make a Mishap Roll against yourself (applying the weapon's Injury modifier). You may no longer use the weapon for the rest of the game (resolving any remaining targets from the current attack first). After the game, it is repaired at no cost. If you have Advantage and either dice rolls a 1 you still misfire. If the higher roll still hits the enemy, resolve it as normal.
