 SPECIAL RULES AND
SUPR EMACY ABILITIES
Certain rules like those acquired through the
purchasing of Masteries, Character Upgrades
and Supremacy Abilities may provide unique
abilities that extend beyond merely providing
Characteristic upgrades to [Character]
or Regiments and instead benefit an entire
Warband or even the entire Army.

This raises the question of whether these

abilities are "always active", "activated" or
only applicable when the Character Stand or
Regiment is on the Battlefield.

For this reason rules like this are followed

by identifiers that allow the Player to easily
recognize when these rules are applied. The
identifiers are the following:

Always Active: This Ability is always con-

sidered to be active regardless of whether the
[Character] or Regiment is currently on
the Battlefield, in Reinforcements or having
been destroyed.

Activated: This Ability can only be used once

per Battle and requires the [Character] or
Regiment to currently be on the Battlefield.
Once Activated the effects last until the end
of the Round regardless if the [Character]
or Regiment has been removed from the
Battlefield in the meantime.

Battlefield: This Ability is considered to be

active while the [Character] or Regiment
is currently on the Battlefield.

 SUPR EMACY ABILITIES
Each type of Character grants a different Supremacy Ability if chosen as your Warlord.

XHILIARCH

Obdurate Bone and Stone [Always Active]: The Army may reach the Dark Power Empowerment
Tier IV as described in the “Empowerment” section of the rules.

[Activated Part of the Ability]: Until the end of the Round, all Friendly Regiments in their
Warband may perform a free additional Clash Action during their Activation. This Supremacy
Ability allows a Regiment to effectively Clash twice this Round.

STRATEGOS/MOUNTED STRATEGOS

Glimmers of a Golden Age [Always Active]: The Army may reach the Dark Power Empowerment
Tier IV as described in the “Empowerment” section of the rules.

[Activated Part of the Ability]: Until the end of the Round, all Friendly Regiments in this Army
count the current Empowerment Tier as one Tier higher and each Friendly Regiment that is to
arrive from Reinforcements this Round gains the Vanguard (3) Special Rule.

ARCHIMANDRITE / THEOKRATOR

Scholar of the Profane [Always Active]: This Character Stand may perform a free additional
Spellcasting Action each Round. This Character Stand cannot attempt to cast the same Spell
more than once per Round.

[Activated Part of the Ability]: Until the end of the Round, this Character Stand may Re-Roll
any number of dice when performing Spellcasting Actions.

FALLEN DIVINITY

Surrounded by Fear and Dead Men [Always Active]: A Fallen Divinity must always be the
Warlord. A Fallen Divinity is considered to be a Regiment by itself in addition to it also being a
Character Stand and therefore uses all the relevant Regiment rules as if it was a Monster Regiment.
A Fallen Divinity Activates as if it was a Regiment, performs two Actions per Activation and has
access to all Out-of-Combat and Combat Actions a Regiment has.

In addition, the Fallen Divinity may also use a Duel Action and may not refuse a Duel from an
Enemy Character Stand. However, the Fallen Divinity is not affected by the effects of the Dark
Power Pool. The Fallen Divinity may not join another Regiment and does not need to include a
Monster Regiment in its Warband to enter the Battlefield. The Fallen Divinity does not need to
include any other Regiments in its Warband.

 DARK BLESSINGS
Character Stands are heroes of renown or highly gifted individuals, who excel above and
beyond the masses. Be it through luck, education, training and effort or other powers at work,
Character Stands have mastered abilities that make them exceptional.

Dark Blessings are optional upgrade abilities for your Characters, which are noted on your
Army List and confer bonus abilities to your Character Stand. As a rule of thumb a Character
Stand may select one Dark Blessing according to the Available categories listed on their Army
List profile, however there are cases in which a Character Stand may be able to purchase more
than one. This will be clearly stated in the Character Stand’s Army List Entry.

Each Dark Blessing can only be purchased once, unless stated otherwise. There are three cat-
egories for Masteries: Tactical, Combat and Arcane.

THE MOR E YOU KNOW!

Names that end in “-oi” is actually a single sound and denotes plurality in Greek. “Oi” sounds
exactly like “ee” in Greek. Athanatoi would essentially be pronounced Athanat-ee!

Speaking of, Athanatoi is two words. “A” (lack of ) + “thanatos” (death) essentially translates
to Immortals!
