 Eldfall Chronicles
Introduction
Eldfall Chronicles is a skirmish game, set in a fantastical
world, where groups of adventurers face perilous
dangers and opposition. Players assemble their parties of
handpicked individuals, hailing from different realms, and
with them embark on quests, seeking various ends.
In a basic skirmish setting, players start the game with the
same amount of points, which they spend for recruiting
and outfitting their party in order to face the quest at hand.
Through various internal synergies, players can tailor
their parties to fit their preferred play-style. Finally, each
player assigns a leader, an authority who will bolster and
lead their party. After the players have assembled their
parties and assigned them leaders, they establish a turn
order and proceed to position the parties accordingly.
Afterwards, the players start the game throughout which
they compete against each other, or on occasion ally against
a greater threat. The game keeps all players engaged at
all times, as they conduct turns in a series of activations
and reactions. While one player activates their models and
pushes towards their design, the other player reacts against
them with an aim to thwart their intent. Models engage
one another in dynamic and unpredictable combat, where
a unison of tactics, resolve and a bit of luck leads towards
victory.

 Foreword

Greetings dear player. In this document, you will find the BETA core rules of the Eldfall
Chronicles skirmish game; its every option and every mechanic. Deciphering the game’s mechanics
and flow only from the rules may be a tedious task. Therefore, we recommend you to read the
following text, just so that you get a feel of the general flow of the game:
When players agree to a game, they decide on a Quest they intend to undertake. First, each player
chooses their preferred faction and recruits a war-band of individual models.
Then, the players perform a so-called Initiative Check: a roll that determines their turn order and
their starting position on the field.
After this is completed, players place the models onto the field in the determined turn order, and
the game begins.
At the beginning of each turn, each model on the field receives an amount of Activation Points,
corresponding to their Stamina.

The Active Player is the player that is currently taking their turn; their models perform their
Active Role. Meanwhile, the models of the opposing player, the Reactive Player, perform their
Reactive Role, reacting against each Activation of the Active player’s models.
If we look at this in detail: The Active player may activate a model by spending one of its
Activation points (each model may be activated according to their Activation Points). That model
may then move and perform an action. However, this may get complicated, if an opposing
-reactive- model sees the activated model during its movement. The reactive model can choose to
react to it by spending one of its own Activation points (e.g. Dodge, Attack etc.). The activated
model must now decide whether to deal with the reacting model and adjust its action (e.g. Dodge,
Attack etc.) or to continue with its original plan.
When the Active player concludes their turn, the roles of players exchange: the former Active
Player becomes the Reactive Player and vice versa.
The game ends either when players complete their 5th round, or are left without alive models,
or complete a certain objective of the Quest at hand. After the game ends, the players calculate
Victory Points, which they received as rewards for completing objectives. The one with more
points becomes the victor.

 Core Game Elements

Models FRONT OF THE EXAMPLE CARD

1 3
A model is an individual entity which has its own profile
(displaying its stats and abilities) and is represented by a 2 4
miniature or a token on the field.
Each model has its own profile assigned to it, which indicates 7 8 9
their in-game attributes and abilities.

Model Profiles 15

A Model Profile indicates in-game capabilities of the model 13

it represents. The Model profiles are displayed on the cards
like the ones on the right and on page 8. 14
BACK OF THE EXAMPLE CARD
①: Name 5
6
The name of the model.

7 8
②: Class
Each model is assigned at least 1 class, which, to an extent,
defines its role on the field. (See page 39) 9

③: Attributes
The set parameters which display the degree of a certain
model’s default capabilities. Likelihood of a dice roll success
is primarily based on the model’s attribute value.

The meaning of each attribute is as follows:

-STA (Stamina)- Indicates the default number of -INT (Intellect)- Indicates a model’s default mental

④ : Size  
Indicates the model’s volume on the field. Each Size value is represented by the corresponding Hitbox (size shown in mm
below - pictures are not true to scale).The sizes of models, from the smallest to the largest, are categorized according to
the following order: Small < Medium < Large < Huge<Gigantic < Colossal< Monstrous
(the monstrous size is not yet fully decided)*

the model is. For example, determining: if and how it
can move across narrow spaces, elevation, etc. More
importantly, the Hitbox plays the biggest factor when
drawing Line of Sight (See page 14). The Hitbox’s volume
is cylindrical and is of the same width as the model’s
base.  

⑤: Recruitment Cost A Trait’s effect cannot be disregarded volitionally.

The amount of points a player has to spend to recruit the Some Traits can have more than one level. The level of

numerals next to the name of the Trait. Any level of

 ⑧: Skills
Skills are optional ABILITIES a model can use and benefit
from in certain situations. They are explained on the back of
the card most of the time. (may also be found in List of Abilities
document)
A model cannot use the same skill more than once per
activation.
Some skills can have more than one level. The level of a Skill a
certain model has is represented by the roman numerals next
to the name of the Skill. Any level of such a Skill automatically
grants access to all lower levels of the Skill to the User – the
Effects of skills with multiple levels stack.

Example: A model that has Stealth II can automatically benefit from the
Stealth I effect in addition to the effect granted by Stealth II.

⑨: Combat Arts
Combat Arts display a form of combat the model excels in
and in which it developed a certain level of mastery.
Some models have access to a variety of combat
ABILITIES organized into Combat Arts charts.
Combat Arts consist of levels, where the model has
access to all levels up to the model’s listed level of
that Combat Art.
If a model has access to several Combat Arts, it may
select only one at a time. Moreover, a model can add
the effect of only one of the Combat Art levels to its
Attack.

Example 1: If a model has Fencing III listed under its Combat Arts,
it can add the effect of one of the following: either level I, II or level III of the Fencing
art to its Attack.
Example 2: If a model has Fencing V, it can select any one of the levels (in this case there
are only 5) and add the corresponding effect to its Attack.

EX1: Fencing III - Selected level’s effect is applied to this model’s Melee Attack.
I Masterful Parry: Target’s Melee Attack suffers -3 Modifier.
II Harsh Riposte: Target’s Melee Attack suffers -1 Strike.
III Second Wind: User’s Melee Attack gains +1 Strike.
IV Grapple & Thrash: User’s Melee Attack gains Knockdown.
V Striking the Gaps: User’s Melee Attack gains Ignore Armor.

EX2: Fencing V - Selected level’s effect is applied to this model’s Melee Attack.
I Masterful Parry: Target’s Melee Attack suffers -3 Modifier.
II Harsh Riposte: Target’s Melee Attack suffers -1 Strike.
III Second Wind: User’s Melee Attack gains +1 Strike.
IV Grapple & Thrash: User’s Melee Attack gains Knockdown.
V Striking the Gaps: User’s Melee Attack gains Ignore Armor.

7
 ⑫: Stratagems
Stratagems are abilities only the Leader of a Party
10 (See page 22) may use during its Strategic phase. If
the Leader becomes Incapacitated or Dead (states),
that Party can no longer use Stratagems. During their
Strategic phase, a player may select 1 Stratagem and
apply its effect. Available Stratagems can be found on
13 the Model Profile of the selected Leader.
15 There are two types of Stratagems:
Authority, which affects allied models, and
14
Subterfuge, which affects enemy models.
12 Unless specified otherwise, after a Stratagem is
applied, its effect lasts until the player's next
Strategic phase.
Stratagems have infinite Reach.

IMPORTANT
* Friendly models without the same Affiliation
10 12 as the Leader cannot benefit from that Leader’s
Authority Stratagems (see page 11).
* If the player does not specify what Stratagem the
Leader is using, the default used Stratagem will be
the one listed highest in the Leader’s Stratagem
chart.

⑩: Spellcraft
Some models have access to a variety of individual spells, or
spells organized into Spellcraft charts. Similarly to Combat
Art charts, Spellcrafts consist of levels, where the model
has access to all levels up to the model’s listed level of that
Spellcraft. However, it can only cast spells of the same
Element as it has access to (see page 20).

Example: A model has, on its profile, the Art of Sorcery III

listed in the Spellcraft section and Affinity (Fire) under its
Traits. Therefore, it can cast spells of level III or lower from the
Art of Sorcery chart, but only those of the Fire Element.

⑪: Special
Some models have unique abilities, which effects are
displayed under this section. (Currently, there are no models with these abilities.)*

checking the total weight of Items in the model’s Inventory.
- Consumables: After use, no matter if the Action was
successful or not, the consumable item must be discarded
from the model’s Inventory. A model may use only one
consumable item at a time. You do not need to unequip
other items to use a consumable item (the model equips
the Consumable Item for only a brief moment when
using it).

IMPORTANT
If the player does not specify what a model has equipped
and the model has multiple Items of the same category in
its Inventory, the default equipped Item (of each category)
is the one listed highest in the Inventory.

NOTE: Some Items have Traits listed under their

Effects. Depending on a particular Trait, some might
dictate the Item’s usage, while others affect targets when
the Item is used (Found in List of Abilities document).
(Example: The Throwing trait on an Item means that such an
Item can be used to perform a Ranged Attack, while the Bleed
trait forces a wounded target into the Bleeding state, etc.)
NOTE: unless an item has the Two-Handed trait, it is
used in one hand.
NOTE: If a model has a Two-Handed weapon listed
highest in the model’s Inventory, while the Shield is
listed second, the model will have the Two-Handed
weapon equipped and thus Shield unequipped.

EXAMPLES OF ITEMS
AND THEIR PROFILES:

Weapon 1:
Name Effects PW RCH Strike Type Qty Wgt

Sword / T 1 STA Melee, Weapon 1 1

As can be seen from its profile, the Sword is a

Weapon which can be used to perform Melee
Attacks. It has no particular Effect, with Power
equal to the wearer’s Toughness, capable of
hitting targets up to 1’ away, and has an amount
of Strikes equal to the wearer’s Stamina. In
this case, Quantity and Weight imposed on the
wearer’s Inventory is 1. (More on Melee Attack on page
32)

Weapon 2:
Name Effects PW RCH Strike Type Qty Wgt
0-20’: 0 Ranged, Weap-
Short Bow Two-Handed T STA 1 2
21-40’: -6 on

In terms of damage, the Short Bow is similar to the Sword above. However, unlike the Sword, the Short Bow is a Ranged Weapon,
thus it can be used for Ranged Attacks. It has a Trait listed under its Effects. Ranged Weapon’s Reach is different from other types of
weapons, as it displays sets of intervals with their respective modifiers imposed on the model's Accuracy. The Short Bow is capable of
attacking targets up to 40 inches away, but will impose a -6 negative Modifier to the user’s Accuracy when shooting at targets that are
more than 20 inches away. Its Strike is equal to the wearer’s Stamina. While its Quantity is 1, the bow and its arrows take up a bit more
of the model's Inventory, thus its Weight is 2. (More on Ranged Attack on page 33)

Accessory:

Sorceries.

Staff of Sorceries is an Accessory. While it has no particular Power, Reach or Strike value, it grants its Effect to the wearer as long as
it is Equipped.

with Reach more than 0 have
-1 Strike.

As defined in the rules above, when the wearer has a shield equipped, it automatically becomes af-
fected by its effect. Therefore, any frontal Melee Attack towards the wearer will suffer a -3 Modifier
(namely to its Offense or Defense). In addition, the wearer will also have +3 Armor when dealing
with frontal Ranged Attacks. However, if the wearer decides to perform a Melee Attack with a Me-
lee Weapon with reach greater than 0, the wearer’s attack will suffer -1 Strike. In addition, instead
of attacking with a Weapon, the wearer may also attempt to perform a Shield Bash (See Melee Attack,
page 32), damaging and knocking back the target. Note however, that in order to effectively use the
shield for a Melee Attack, the target should be in base contact with the wearer of the shield, as its
Reach is 0.

Consumable:
Name Effects PW RCH Strike Type Qty Wgt
Grapeshot Targetless 12 T, AOE: 1 Ranged, 3 0
Circular L Consumable

Grapeshot is a bomb, a Consumable. It has Reach equal to the user’s Toughness and has an Area
of Effect of a large circular template when it lands. When using it for a Ranged Attack, the Targetless trait allows the user to target
any area on the field within its Reach (model’s Toughness), while the AOE: Circular L will affect any model inside the Large Circular
template, centered on the targeted area. Affected models suffer a Hit with Power 12 if the Grapeshot lands successfully (or if they
somehow failed to avoid the impact). More on Templates and AOE on page 17.

⑮: Affiliation
Affiliation is represented by the banner on the model’s profile. It displays the factions into which this model may be recruit-
ed and to which it belongs.
Models with Neutral affiliation can be recruited into any faction. Some models have a split banner, displaying emblems of
two different factions, meaning that the model can be recruited in both factions. If one half represents Neutral faction, it
means that the model can be recruited by any faction as a neutral model, while it originally belongs into the other displayed
faction (where it is recruited as a model of that faction).

Example of correct measuring

In order to have Line of Sight towards the other model, the

following condition must also be fulfilled:  
A model has Line of Sight to another model if it
can draw an unobstructed imaginary straight line from
a point on it’s base or Hitbox to another point on the
target model’s base or Hitbox. Note that Line of Sight
can be obscured by another model or scenery! When in
doubt, players may substitute the models in question
with their corresponding Hitboxes (cut-outs etc.).

- While a model moves, it has 360° of Line of Sight.

- Players may check Line of Sight at any time.
- A model always has Line of Sight to itself.
- When declaring a Movement, the player must clearly
indicate the movement path of the model.
- While a model is moving, it can rotate and has 360°
Line of sight.
- A model can move through allied models, but not
through enemy models.
- The model’s Movement automatically ends if it enters
Base contact with an enemy model.
- A model may not end its movement with its Hitbox
within another model’s Hitbox. However, it may end
its movement on top of another model, if that model is
Incapacitated or Dead.
- If a model moves over a surface that is narrower than
the model’s base size (e.g. a ramp, ladder, etc.), its Speed
value becomes halved.
- A model can normally move over any scenery piece
or obstacle smaller or of equal height as the model’s
Hitbox (without spending any additional Speed points).
-Unless stated otherwise, an activated model, which
declared a Special Movement, cannot perform any
other Normal Action or Special Action during the same
Activation sequence.
Note: for more information on movement, see page 30.

 Awareness Actions
Awareness represents the model’s perception of its surroundings. Models can perform different actions with different intents.

For more information on Actions, see page 31.

States
- A state represents a certain circumstance a model found
itself in.
- When a model enters a certain state, a token/marker
representing that state can be placed next to the model’s
figure or onto the model’s profile card for the player’s
convenience. Note: in competitive play, it is advisable that all
players use tokens, so that all players can keep track of them.
- A model can find itself in more than one state at the same
time.
- States of the same name are not cumulative.

0-20’: 0; 21-40’: -3. In this particular example, the first interval indicates
that the Accuracy of the user will not be modified when performing a
Ranged Attack at the distance of up to 20 inches. However, the second in-
terval indicates that when the distance to the target is longer than 20 inches
and up to 40, the user’s Accuracy will suffer -3 modifier. If the distance to
the target is larger than 40 inches, the attack fails automatically.)

Example 2:
A model, using a Short Bow with Reach 0-20’: 0; 21-40’: -6, uses an abil-
ity which extends the Reach of his weapon for 2 inches on every interval.
This means that the new modified reach of his Short Bow is: 0-22’: 0;
23-42’: -6

Casting Aura
- Some Spells can only be cast in the proximity of their
caster. Casting Aura is an area, in size equal to the
caster’s Awareness (see page 15) and is centered on the
caster.
- Spells with Casting Aura reach can only target models
within the Casting Aura area.
- In the Active Role, the caster of a Spell can target
models within the Casting Aura, even if it has no Line
of Sight towards them. In such cases, the caster’s
casting attribute suffers a halving Modifier.
- Targets of an Attack with this reach cannot benefit
from Cover.

at least partially covered or in contact with the template.

NOTE: If the Hitbox of a model that performs an at-

tack with a template is in contact with its own template, it
does not suffer its own attack.

- If a model is covered with multiple templates at the same

time, it will suffer the effect of each successfully placed
template separately.
- A model affected by an attack with a template may avoid
receiving Hits with a successful Dodge action (following the
general rules of Activation, Reaction and Dodge), even if the
template was placed successfully.
- If a model that is the target of an Attack with a template
declares an Attack (as its action or reaction) and wins the
Confrontation (see page 19), the attack with a template is fully
nullified and the template will not be placed.

Example of distributed Strike value among 2 enemy models:

Model A activates and moves towards enemy Models B and C. Model
B reacts with Attack, while Model C is reacting with a Dodge. Model
A declares Attack, whereas its Strike value is 2, therefore it may
strike one of the enemy models twice, or strike each of the two enemy
models once. Model A decides to target both enemies, thus distributes
1 Strike at Model B and 1 Strike at Model C.
Model A and Model B resolve Confrontation rolls, while Model C
rolls for dodge against Model A’s attack separately (if Model C fails
the roll, it will receive all successful attack rolls directed towards it).

Some Actions, Skills, Items, etc. in the game, namely the

Attack action, may cause a model to suffer one or more
Hits. If a Damage Roll is successful, it commonly inflicts a
Wound to the model (causing it to lose 1HP).

Example:

B reacts with an Attack, targeting Model A. Model A also

Model A has Strike 2. Model B’s used modified attribute value is
12 and the result of its roll is 8. Model A’s used modified attribute
is 13 and the results of its rolls are 6 and 11. Model B’s roll of 8
is higher than Model A’s roll of 6, therefore it negates the roll of 6
of Model A. However, Model A’s roll of 11 is higher than Model
B’s roll of 8 and is still within its used attribute (13), therefore it
negates Model B’s roll and is considered a successful Confrontation
roll. As a result, Model B receives 1 Hit from Model A. Model B’s
Attack is negated.

Example:
If a model that has a Speed of 6 falls, it must perform an
Agility roll for every 3 inches of its fall from the point of
falling to the surface it falls onto.

19
 Spells and Magic
Spells are a focused representation of magic. Wielders of magic channel raw mana from the elements or items and shape
it into unique forms known as spells. Spells represent a large portion of the gameplay as many factions offer the player a
variety of models, well-versed in the use of magic.
- The process of using spells is often referred to as Casting.
- The model who uses the spell in question is often referred to as the Caster.
-Unless stated otherwise, the model uses the Intellect attribute when casting Spells.
- In order to cast spells of a certain Element, the caster must have an Affinity (Element) of the specified Element. Exam-
ple: Affinity (Fire). (Found in List of Abilities document)
- In the Active Role, if a Spell has a Strike value greater than 1, the Caster may choose a number of targets up to the speci-
fied Strike value. (Note: This cannot be applied to the casting of Conjuration spells.)
- A model can cast only one Spell at a time.
- A model cannot cast spells if it has “both hands full”. Example: a model has at the same time equipped a weapon and a
shield, two weapons, or a two-handed weapon.

Mana Counters:
- Mana Counters are a resource that represents mana - the energy required for casting spells. Mana counters
can be spent for covering the price of Conjuration-type Spells or some other powerful spells.
- When in the Active Role, a Mage (Class - see page 39) can convert any number of its Activation
Points into the corresponding amount of Mana Counters (replace Activation Points with Mana
Counters) and place them in its personal pool. Mana counters are cumulative and do not disappear
at the end of the turn!

Depending on their application and purpose, spells are divided into 5 Types:

Sorcery:
- Sorceries are spells, mainly with short-lasting effects.
- Unless specified otherwise, the effect of a Sorcery-Type spell
lasts until the end of the Activation Sequence.
- Its effect is dealt to the target or affected models.

Healing:
- Healing spells have short-lasting effects.
- Unless specified otherwise, the effect of a Healing Spell lasts
until the end of the Activation sequence.
- They can be cast only in the caster’s Active Role.

Enchantment:
- Enchantments are spells that last for an extended period of time.
- Unless specified otherwise, the Effect of an Enchantment lasts
until the caster’s next Strategic phase.
- They can only be cast in the caster’s Active Role.
- If the Enchantment Spell is cast successfully, its target
receives the Enchantment Spell’s Effect.

- If the Enchantment spell would have the ✯symbol for its

Power, the enchanted model’s Attacks receive the Magic type
(for the duration of the Enchantment).
- A model can be enchanted by only up to 1 Enchantment of the
same name.
- Effects of Enchantment Spells cannot be prevented with a
successful Dodge.

20
 Transmutation:
- Transmutations are spells that are permanent and affect the environment.
- Transmutation Spells remain present on the field until removed or destroyed.
- Transmutation Spells with an Armor value in its Effect can be targeted with attacks and destroyed with a successful
Damage roll.
- When cast successfully, Transmutation Spells are placed in Base Contact with the caster.

Conjuration:
Conjuration Spells allow the caster to summon a creature to the field, and bind it under their command.
- Conjuration Spells can only be cast in the caster’s Active Role, by declaring a Ritual (Special Action) (See
page 36).
- A successfully cast Conjuration Spell allows the caster to summon a corresponding creature to the field,
and it may be used as one of the models under the player’s command. The creature immediately receives
Activation Points equal to its Stamina.
- Creatures summoned to the game by a Conjuration Spell are at the same time considered as models and as
Conjuration-Type Spells.
- Conjuration Spells have a Mana Cost of 1 or more. (Found in List of Abilities document- Mana Cost (X) trait)
Mana Cost (X): In order to cast a Spell with this trait, the caster must spend an amount of Mana Counters equal
to the X value (see page 20).
- Creatures summoned to the field by Conjuration Spells have Mana Upkeep, which is equal to the creature’s Tier (listed
in the creature’s profile).
- The caster cannot cast any more Conjuration Spells if the combined Mana Upkeep of the creatures that had been
summoned by the caster and are now present on the field, equals or exceeds the caster’s modified Stamina.
- During the Strategic phase, each caster can voluntarily dismiss one of its summoned creatures. When done so, the
summoned creature is instantly removed from the field.

IMPORTANT
When the caster of a Conjuration Spell becomes
Incapacitated or Dead (states), the creatures it
summoned to the field are removed from the field at
the end of the Activation Sequence.

Example 1: If the caster has a Stamina value of 2, and he has

already summoned 2 creatures, each with a Mana Upkeep of 1, the
caster cannot summon any more creatures. The caster can summon
new creatures once the combined Mana Upkeep of the creatures on
the field is lower than the caster’s modified Stamina.

Example 2: If the caster that has a Stamina value of 2 already

has a summoned creature with a Mana Upkeep of 1, it cannot cast
a Conjuration Spell that would have a Mana Cost of 2 or more.

NOTE: Some Spells have Traits listed under its

Effects. These Traits may be applied differently to
different Items. Depending on a particular Trait, some
might dictate the Spell’s usage, while others affect
targets when the Spell is used. (Example: The Targetless
trait on a Spell means that such a Spell can select any surface
as its target, while the Weakening trait forces a wounded
target into the Weakened state, etc.)

 Playing the Game

→ Field Setup
The table, or rather, the field may be set up according to the players’ preferences. Any terrain can be used.
For the standard play, we recommend the use of 3D scenery (obstacles of different heights) and a field size of 36x36 inches.

NOTE: different field setups affect the gameplay in different ways. Example field setups are on page# (not yet added).

Game Sequence
IMPORTANT
A game consists of a number of ROUNDS each divided into a number of TURNS (one for each player).
In the first Turn of a Round, the first player will assume the role of Active Player and the second player will
assume the role of Reactive Player.

During the Turn, the Active Player will spend activation points to activate their models. The Active Player's
models carry out their Activations, performing their Active Role. At the same time, the Reactive Player will
spend Activation Points to react with their own models in response; the models carry out their Reactions,
performing their Reactive Role.

Once all of the Active Player’s models have been activated the roles are reversed and the next Turn starts.
The first player now becomes the Reactive Player whilst the second player becomes the Active Player.

Once both Turns are complete, the Round ends and a new one begins.

• At the beginning of the game (at the beginning of the first Round), players perform an Initiative Check.

• After players have decided the above, they may deploy their models in the decided turn order.

23
→ Deployment
Players deploy their models fully within their Deployment zone unless specified
otherwise.
Deployment zones are imaginary belts on the field measured from the opposing
edges (of the table) and are commonly 8 inches wide (however this is largely
dependent upon the Quest).

- A model can only be deployed on a surface where at least half of its base fully
fits.
- A model may be deployed in the Crouched state.

• The player who deploys their models first is considered the 1st Player, the
player who deploys their models second the 2nd Player and so forth.    

→ Initiative Check
Players roll a single dice. They add the Party Leaders’ Morale value to the roll's result. The player with the
higher sum wins the initiative and may choose one of the following (the other decision is left to the other player):

• Deployment position: on which Deployment zone of the board to place (deploy) their models (the other
player will deploy within the other available Deployment zone). Furthermore they may decide whether the
players will deploy their entire parties at once or interchangeably deploy one model after the other.
After all players have deployed their models, they reveal their party list to each other.

• Turn order: who, in a round, will be the Active Player first and who second. Players will deploy models in
the same order.

24
 Turn Phases

Active player
1) THE STRATEGIC PHASE:
During the Strategic Phase, models of the Active Player may declare the use of any applicable Abilities, Items, Skills or
Strategems in an order of their choosing.

2) THE UPKEEP PHASE:

During the Upkeep phase, both players allocate a number of Activation Points to each of their
models equal to that model’s modified Stamina value.

3) THE TACTICAL PHASE:

The Tactical Phase consists of multiple ACTIVATION SEQUENCES (more on page 26). During this phase, the Active
Player may activate each of their models by spending their available Activation Points. Likewise the Reactive Player
may spend Activation Points to react with their own models during the Reaction Step of each Activation Sequence. A
model with no Activation Points cannot be chosen to activate or react. The Tactical Phase ends when the Active Player
no longer has any eligible models left to activate or decides they do not wish to activate any more models.

NOTE: You do not have to Activate every model and you can Activate them in whichever order or use any number of their
available Activation points. Activation Points of one model do not have to be spent in sequence - you can activate a different model
before spending all the points the first model has in one turn!

4) THE END PHASE:

During the End Phase, any applicable effects are resolved and both players discard any unspent Activation Points.

→ After the Active player ends their turn, the players exchange their roles – the Active player becomes the
Reactive player, and the opponent now assumes the role of an Active player.

1st Player 2nd Player

ROUND Turn 1 Active Reactive
Turn 2 Reactive Active

→ Following the rules of Reaction and the Activation Sequence, the Reactive player’s models may
immediately react against each activation of the Active player’s models during the Reaction Step of each
Activation Sequence (page 27).

25
 Tactical Phase: Activation sequence

An Activation Sequence occurs with every Activation DURING THE TACTICAL PHASE (discussed on page 25).
(More on each separate Movement and Action can be found on page 30-37.)

1) ACTIVATION STEP
- The Active player Activates a model by spending one of its available Activation points (represented by the token on the
right).
- An activated model suffers any effect it might be affected by when the model activates.

2) MOVEMENT STEP
-An activated model may declare Normal Movement or Special Movement (see page 30).
-The Active player must declare all skills used during this movement declaration, if any.
-During this step, the activated model may either enter or cancel the Crouched state (at the start or the end of the
Movement).
-After the movement is declared, the model is moved.

26
 3) REACTION STEP

- Following the rules of Reaction (below), the Reactive Player may now declare which models will react against the
Activated model, if any.
- After declaring reactions, the Reactive player must now declare a Normal Action (See page 31) the reacting model will
perform (more than one model can react against an activated model, however, the Reactive Player must specify each reacting
model’s actions).
- If the declared reaction is Attack, the Reactive Player must also declare the means of the Attack (Ranged or Melee,
Skills, Items, Combat Arts, etc. used with the Attack).

Reaction
- Reaction is performed by the Reactive player (or rather, by a model in the Reactive Role).
- In the Reactive Role a reactive model may declare Reaction and react against an activated enemy model by
spending an Activation Point.
- Reaction can only be a Normal Action.
- Reaction requires a Line of Sight towards the activated model.
- If the activated model moves within the reactive model’s Awareness, the reacting model may react by performing
a Dodge even without Line of Sight.

• Attack of Opportunity model is indeed within the reach of its

a Movement that the Reacting player
suspects would come within the Reach
of their Reactive model’s Weapon, the
Reactive model may spend an Activation
point and declare an Attack against it at
that exact moment.
- After the Reaction (Attack) has been
declared, the Reacting model must measure
its reach, to check whether the enemy
 If the Activated model is not within
the Weapon’s reach, it is not affected
by the Attack.
 If the Activated model is within the
Weapon’s reach, the Reacting model
may attempt an Attack against it.
 When the Reactive model performs an Attack of Opportunity, even if it fails, it cannot declare a
different Reaction in this Sequence.

NOTE 1: all modifiers are still applied to the Reacting model’s Attack.
NOTE 2: if the reacting model declares Discover and the target is outside the model’s Awareness, the Discover
will end as a failure, preventing the model to change its declaration into Attack.

• Reaction against Shrouded or Flying models

- If a reacting model has declared Dodge or Discover and has Line of Sight towards an activated enemy
model that has declared an Attack while in the Shrouded or Flying state, the reacting model may change
its Dodge or Discover declaration into an Attack declaration immediately after the activated enemy
model’s Action Step (See page 28, Point 4) in Activation Sequence).

27
4) ACTION STEP
-The activated model may now declare a Normal Action or a Special Action.
-If the declared action is Attack, the Active Player must declare its targets and means (skills, items, Combat Arts, etc. used
with the Attack).

5.) RESOLUTION STEP

- Players apply modifiers.
- All necessary rolls are performed. (Note: When necessary, players must carry out Confrontation rolls.)
- Models that suffered a Hit during the sequence must perform corresponding rolls (ARM, T, AG, etc.) in order to pre-
vent taking damage and some effects.
- Damage, effects and abilities that happen during this sequence are applied and carried out simultaneously. Models that
failed their ARM rolls suffer the corresponding number of Wounds.

Example of an Activation Sequence:

1. The Active Player selects a model, spends an

Activation point and Activates it.
2. In its Movement step, the activated model
declares and performs Walk Normal Movement,
however, in the path of its movement, an enemy
model was able to draw Line of Sight towards
it.
3. As the Reaction step begins, the enemy model
declares Reaction: Ranged Attack with its Short
Bow, against the activated model.
4. The activated model has no weapons of a
Ranged Type, thus it declares Dodge in its
Action step, in hopes to avoid receiving a Hit
from the enemy.
5. Players measure the distance, apply modifiers
and perform the rolls. The activated model fails
the Dodge, while the reacting model hits! The
reacting model now performs one Damage roll,
in hopes that it deals damage. The Damage roll
fails; the activated model suffers no Wound and
remains alive, ending its Activation.
Interpretation of the Activation Sequence:
A model activates and declares Walk as its Movement,
advancing towards the middle of the field. In its movement
path, an enemy archer sees it and declares Reaction by
shooting at it from afar. Upon knowing the enemy’s reaction,
the activated model, lacking any means of attacking the
enemy back, dodges in hope of avoiding an incoming arrow.
The activated model is too slow, fails to dodge and gets hit
by an arrow. Luckily, the activated model is well armored,
thus the arrow glanced off his cuirass. Both models survived
and the skirmish rages on.

 Rules in General Effect

Broken Morale Priority Over the Core Rules

29
 List of Movement:
Normal Movement
WALK
- The model may move up to its Speed value.

IDLE
- The model does not move and remains stationary.
- The player may rotate the miniature and change its Line of Sight.

Special Movement
*Note: If a model declares a Special Movement, it may only declare “Nothing” during its Action step!

CLIMB
- When a model declares Climb, its Speed becomes halved (rounded up). Climb allows a model to move over an obstacle -
a vertical surface, or scenery - that is higher than its Hitbox.
- A model cannot perform any other Action while on a vertical surface; if a model would perform any Action while on
the vertical surface, the model falls and has to apply any possible Fall Damage (see page 19).
- A model may end its movement on a vertical surface.

JUMP
In order to reach a higher or lower ground, to reach the surface across the gap, to reach ground behind an obstacle higher than the
model’s Hitbox etc. a model may perform a Jump.
- The model can move through the air horizontally, vertically, diagonally
or in a parabolic line. The distance a model can jump over is equal to half
of its Speed value.
- Jumping distance is measured horizontally, vertically, diagonally
or parabolically between the model’s starting point and the desired
destination of the jump.
-The distance of a jump is measured after the declaration was made.
- If the distance between the starting point and jump destination is
larger than the model’s halved Speed value, but the top of the model’s
Hitbox would come in contact and reach the same (or higher) level as
the surface it wants to jump onto, the model is placed on the edge of the
surface.
- If the distance between the starting point and jump destination is
larger than the model’s halved Speed value (and the model’s Hitbox does not come in contact with the surface it wants to
jump onto), the model falls vertically at the end of its Speed value, to the lower surface.

IMPORTANT: The player must measure the distance of the fall and if necessary, apply Fall Damage (See page 19).

RUN
- The model may move a distance of up to its doubled Speed value.

Some models can assist their allies with their own set of items or abilities. Most commonly, Assist is used to cast support spells (e.g.
Enchantments, Heal, Ward etc.) among allies.
- Assist is an action which an activated model can declare by targeting itself or one or more allied models.
- When declaring Assist as a Reaction, a model may target other allied models or itself.
- During the declaration of the Assist action, the player must choose and state with which Skills or Items the assisting
model will perform the action or which Spells it will cast.
- Unless specified otherwise, when targeting allied models with an activated model, Line of Sight is required to perform
the Assist action.
- If an assisting model would have Strike 1, it may only target one model. If it’s Strike is greater than 1, it may targets a
number of models up to its Strike value.
- In order to perform Assist, the requirements of the used Skills, Spells or Items (reach, additional effects, etc.) must be
fulfilled.

DODGE

To avoid a potential or an incoming attack, a model may attempt to perform a Dodge.

- In order to avoid suffering damage successfully, the model must perform a successful Agility roll, using 1 die.
- If the Dodge roll is successful, the model avoids receiving non-critical Hits from the enemy’s attack.
- In order to declare Dodge in the Reactive Role, a model must either have Line of Sight towards the activated model, or
the currently activated enemy model must be within its Awareness, or both.
- Declaration of Dodge requires no target, or rather, the target is the model itself.
- Without Line of Sight to the attacking model, Dodge must be performed with a halved Agility attribute.
- When a model declares Dodge, it can do these things at the end of the Resolution step, even if the roll was
unsuccessful:
- move for a distance of its halved Speed value in any direction (rounded up),
- enter or cancel the Crouched state.
- If both Reactive and Active models declare Dodge, the Reactive model must move first.
- NOTE1: A successful Dodge roll may also cancel all States that require a successful Dodge for their cancellation.
- NOTE2: A model can fall off the edge of a surface while dodging. In this case, any possible Fall Damage has to be
applied.

• DISENGAGE
- During the Active and/or Reactive turn, when an Engaged (state) model declares a Dodge, it may move out
of the enemy model’s melee Reach, canceling the Engaged state (even if the roll was unsuccessful).

• DODGE AGAINST MULTIPLE ENEMY ATTACKS

- A model declaring Dodge, upon becoming the attack target of multiple enemy models, must perform an
Agility roll against each enemy Attack separately, in order to prevent receiving Hits.

Example: Models B and C react against the activated Model A by declaring an Attack. Model A declares a Dodge as its action (its Agility being
13). Models B and C will perform an attack roll, each using 1 dice (while reacting, their Strike value is 1). Meanwhile, Model A will perform 2
Agility rolls, 1 against Model B and 1 against Model C separately.
Against Model B, Model A rolls 8, and against Model C it rolls 14, therefore it dodges the attack of Model B, but suffers the attack of Model C.
Model C must now proceed making a Damage roll in hopes that it deals a Wound to Model A. As Model A declared Dodge, it may move up to its
halved Speed value.

31
NORMAL ACTIONS

ATTACK
- Attack is an action which an activated or reacting model may declare by targeting one or more enemy’s models.
- Unless specified otherwise, Line of Sight is required in order for the attacking model to perform the attack.
- The modified Strike value, found in the Skills, Spells or Items profiles, specifies the number of dice used during the
Attack in the Active Role.
- The Attack can be RANGED OR MELEE depending on the Item, Spell or Skill.
- In the Reactive Role, when a reacting model declares an Attack, its default Strike value becomes 1.
- During the declaration of the attack, the player must choose and declare Skills and the Combat Art that the model
will use with the Attack, and select an Item or a Spell with which the model will perform the attack. Unless stated
otherwise, a model may select only 1 Item or 1 Spell.
- In order to perform an attack with a certain Skill, Spell or Item, their requirements (reach, additional effects, etc.) must
be fulfilled.
- In order to perform a successful attack, the result of a dice roll must be equal to, or lower than the used modified
attribute (Offence, Defense, Accuracy, Intellect, etc.).
- If Confrontation Rolls are performed, the attack is successful if the roll is within the above-mentioned conditions and
higher than the enemy model’s rolls. (See page 19)
- In the Active Role, during the Attack declaration, if the Active model’s Attack would have a Strike value greater than
1, its Attack may have a number of targets up to its Strike value. In other words, if the active attacker’s Strike value is
greater than 1, it can distribute its strikes among different targets.

Important: If the strikes are distributed among more than one enemy model, Confrontation rolls are resolved
separately with every targeted enemy model, for each distributed strike.

• Melee Attack

- Is an Attack action performed with an Item or a Spell of the Melee Type.

- A model may always choose to perform a melee attack unarmed, instead of using other melee weapons. In this
case, the melee attack is performed according to the following table:
Name Effect PW RCH Strike Type Qty Wgt
Unarmed Unkeen T or AG -3 0 STA Melee, / /
Natural

- If a model has a Shield equipped, it may choose to perform a melee attack with Shield Bash, instead of using
other melee weapons. In this case, the Attack is performed according to the following table:
Name Effect PW RCH Strike Type Qty Wgt
Shield Bash Knockback (1’), T 0 1 Melee / /
Unkeen

IMPORTANT!
- When performing a Melee Attack with a Melee Item, a model uses the Offense attribute in its Active
Role and the Defense attribute in its Reactive Role.
- Whenever a Melee Attack is performed with a spell, the Intellect attribute is used.

32
 • ENGAGED IN MELEE
If a model’s figure ends within the Melee Weapon’s Reach of an enemy model during the End
Step of the Activation or at the end of a phase, the model within the enemy’s Melee Weapon’s
Reach is considered Engaged (state).

• ENGAGED (STATE)
- During the Movement step (when in the Active Role), an Engaged activated model may only declare
Idle or Walk as its Movement. However, if it declares Walk, it can only move directly towards the
enemy model that is causing the Engaged state.
- While Engaged, a model may declare only Melee Attack, Assist (targeting itself) or Dodge as its
Action.
- A model ceases to be Engaged when it leaves the melee weapon reach of the enemy model, disengages
with a Dodge, or by rendering the enemy model into the Incapacitated, Petrified, Crouched or Dead state.
- While a model is Engaged, it automatically has Line of Sight to all enemy models that are causing it to
be Engaged, but cannot react against models outside of its Awareness.

Example of Engaged 1:
Example of Engaged 2 :
The blue model is not engaged, while the red model is engaged.
Clan Champion activates and declares Walk and approaches the Ranger-
Guild Hunter. Hunter reacts by declaring a Ranged Attack. Champion
then declares a Melee Attack as its Action. Confrontation Rolls
are made and the combat resolves with both models alive. Champion
activates again, and declares a Melee Attack. Hunter, now Engaged can
react only by declaring Dodge or Melee Attack.

• Ranged Attack Example of Movement and Ranged Attack

Is an Attack action, performed with an Item
or a Spell of the Ranged Type.
- When performing a Ranged Attack, a
model uses the:
- Accuracy attribute when attacking with a
Ranged Item or the
- Intellect attribute when casting Spells.
- During Reaction, when the Reacting model
declares a Ranged Attack, it must also
specify the exact location on the activated
model’s movement path (which the reacting
model is able to see), where the activated
model will be shot upon.

33
• COVER
A piece of scenery on the field can provide cover to a model from ranged attacks.
- A Size: Small, Medium or Large model has Cover against Ranged Attacks, if it is within 1 inch of a piece of scenery
that is higher than the model’s base and at least partially obscures the model’s Hitbox from the attacker’s Line of
Sight.

There are two types of Cover:

2''
- LIGHT: is when the object is smaller than the model's size. It causes -2
Modifier to the Attacker's Ranged Attack.
- HEAVY: is when the object is taller than the model's size. It causes -4
Modifier to the Attacker's Ranged Attack.

- If the model is not within 1 inch of the cover at any point of its
movement, it can still be shot upon at the moment when it is not in contact
with the cover (provided that the attacker has a visual of that exact
moment).

- Furthermore, a model has Light Cover if it is in the Crouched state.

• RANGED ATTACK INTO BASE CONTACT FEATURING AN ALLIED

MODEL
Shooting into melee combat where models are close together can be potentially risky, as the shooters can hit their own allies in the
process.

- This rule applies when performing a Ranged Attack without AOE targeting an enemy model that is in Base Contact
with an allied model (of the shooter). For this rule to take effect, both the allied and the enemy model must be in Base
Contact with one another.
- When performing a Ranged Attack in this situation, the model that is performing the Ranged Attack will suffer a -4
stackable Modifier for every allied model in Base Contact with the target. A Roll result of 17, 18, 19 or 20 hits one of
the allied models in Base Contact with the target (if more than 1, the opponent chooses which one gets hit).

Example of COVER:

Clan Champion is standing behind a rock, which provides him with Heavy
Cover, obscuring the LoS of Flameweaver. If the Flamweaver would cast
a Fireball spell directly targeting the Champion, the Flamweaver would
receive a -4 Intellect modifier (Fireball is a spell, therefore the Sorcerer’s
Attacking Attribute is Intellect).
Note: In this particular case however, the Fireball spell has Targetless trait,
thus it allows the Flamweaver to target the ground near the Champion as
the target of the Ranged Attack. Consequentially the Flameweaver would
not suffer a -4 modifier from the Cover, while the Champion would still be
engulfed by the blast of the spell!

34
 NORMAL ACTIONS
PERCEIVE

- Discover allows a model to target and reveal an enemy model, spell or an item represented by a token (Intrigue,
Shrouded etc.). The model must also have Line of Sight towards the token (unless specified otherwise).
- By passing an Intellect roll, the model may reveal the target token. If the token is revealed, the corresponding model
miniature, spell or item token is revealed and placed onto the field.
- A model can perform Discover only against tokens within its Awareness.
COUP DE ’GRACE

Coup de ’Grace is an action that renders an incapacitated enemy model into the Dead state.
- In order to declare this action, the model must be in base contact with the target Incapacitated model.
- Upon the declaration of this Action, the target incapacitated model is automatically rendered into the Dead state.
- No roll is required.
TRADE

- A model performing this action can exchange any number of Items in its Inventory with the allied model, if they are in
base contact.
- A model may exchange only acquired Items. In other words, it may not exchange the default Items listed on its profile.
INTERACT
- In order to declare this action, a model must be in base contact with an object described by the Quest.
- By declaring this action, the model may perform a roll against the object, using the attribute prescribed by the Quest.

35
Special Actions
* Note: In order to declare a Special Action, a model must first declare “Idle” during its Movement step.

RITUAL
- By declaring Ritual, a model can immediately cast (multiple) Conjuration Spells (without any roll required) or some
spells that can only be cast with the Ritual action.
- When summoning a creature, after the player pays the Mana Cost, they may place a corresponding miniature and the
profile card of the summoned creature onto the field. The miniature is placed in Base Contact with the caster.

UNCOVER
- By passing a halved Intellect roll, the Hidden state of all enemy models or items within this model’s Awareness is can-
celed. (When playing with more players, the models and items are revealed to other players as well.)
Note: Some abilities allow a model to be deployed in the Hidden state, which prevents the other player from seeing them on the field.

ISSUE A DUEL
A duel is an honorable alternative to a skirmish and to unnecessary bloodshed. When both sides agree to a duel, they
must both bow to the ancient laws and leave their fates to their singular chosen champions!

- Only a member belonging to the player’s original party can declare this action. Summoned creatures, familiars etc.
cannot declare this action.
- If a model issues a duel, the opposing player may decide whether they will accept or refuse it.
- If the opposing player accepts, they must appoint a model from their party which will duel with the model issuing the
duel.
- If the duel is agreed upon, both dueling models’ Activation points are restored to match their default Stamina value and
the duel begins.
- While the two models duel, no other model can be activated or react. If a model which is not dueling would interfere
(with a certain skill, for example Chain Attack), the side it belongs to automatically loses the duel, and the other side
automatically wins.
- Models belonging to another model, such as summoned creatures, familiars, etc. can fight alongside the dueling model
they belong to. (Note: Summoners are allowed to summon creatures which may help them in the duel.)

- The duel ends when one of the two models becomes Incapacitated or Dead (states). When
the duel ends, the game ends as well. (Note: The players should have in mind that issuing and
accepting a duel results in the end of the game and any actions and objectives outside of the duel
cannot be continued or completed after the duel starts.)
- The player of the model that became Incapacitated or Dead loses the duel, while the player
of the surviving model wins the duel. The winner of the game, however, is not necessarily
the player that won the duel.
- If both models become Incapacitated or Dead (states) during the same activation sequence,
the duel ends in a draw.
- The player that won the duel receives 6 Victory points.
- If the duel ends with a draw, the quest ends and both sides receive 3 Victory points, not
exceeding the maximum amount of Victory points available in the Quest.

Note: The winner of the game is the player that amassed the most objective points, including those
amassed during the play-through to the point of the Duel.

HINT: Stratagems can be used during a duel.

36
 Useful tips

- Pay special attention to the Engaged state.

It can lock down ranged models, rendering them unable to perform a Ranged Attack.
- You can protect yourself by being in base contact with the enemy model, so that other ranged enemy models cannot tar-
get you without risking to hit their allies.
- Dodge can be very useful not only to escape from your enemies but also to move closer to enemy models, even engaging
them (or just moving).
- Do not forget to use your Stratagems and Class abilities!
- When allying with the other player, their models become you allies, therefore, they may benefit from your Leader’s
Stratagems. This also works with other Skills and Abilities (for example: Chain Attack).
- When you ally with the other player, you can still React to their models’ Activations. This might be especially useful if you
want to move and reposition your models (with Dodge etc.)…

prevented.

CREATURE
Creatures have no particular abilities connected to their class. However, some Quests may have rules that add a specific
effect to the Creature class.

CIVILIAN

Civilians have no particular abilities connected to their class. However, some Quests may have rules that add a specific
effect to the Civilian class.

DRUID

MAGE
- When casting a Spell, a Mage may spend an unspent Activation Point to re-roll any number of dice.
- Mana Counters are a resource that represents mana - the energy required for casting spells. Mana counters
can be spent for covering the price of Conjuration-type Spells or some other powerful spells.
- When in the Active Role, a Mage can convert any number of its Activation Points into the corresponding
amount of Mana Counters (replace Activation Points with Mana Counters) and place them in its personal
pool. Mana counters are cumulative and do not disappear at the end of the turn!

MARKSMAN
If a model of the Marksman class declares Idle during its Movement step, it gains +4 Accuracy until the end of the
Activation sequence.

MYSTIC

Models of the Mystic class must use the Morale value instead of the Intellect value when casting spells.

RANGER
During the End Phase when in the Active Role, models of the Ranger class may perform a Normal Movement (note: this

Defensive Stance marker next to the model. While in the Defensive Stance, when the model declares an Attack,
its Strike becomes 1 in its Active Role, whereas in its Reactive Role, its Strike is as it would be in its default
Active Role. In other words, a warrior on the Defensive Stance attacks as if it was in the Reactive Role in its
Active Role, while when in the Reactive Role, it attacks as if it was in the Active Role.
Unless stated otherwise, the Defensive Stance is canceled at the beginning of the warrior’s next Strategic
Phase.

WIZARD

41
 States

BLEEDING

A model in this state must perform a Toughness roll in its every Strategic phase.
A failed roll causes the model to suffer a Wound.

BLINDED

A model in this state has no LoS (other than to itself) and cannot perform any actions other than
Dodge or Nothing.

CONFUSED

A model in this state has halved Offense, Defense, Accuracy, Intellect and Morale.

CRIPPLED

A model in this state has halved Speed and Agility.

CROUCHED

The Hitbox of a Crouched model becomes the size and volume of its base. While in this state, the model’s Speed and
Armor value is halved and its Attack Strike value becomes 1.
Crouched models cannot make other models Engaged (state).
During the Movement step, a model in this state may only declare Walk or Idle.
In the Active Role, this state may be voluntarily canceled during the model’s Movement step.
This state may also be canceled with a Dodge.

DEAD

A Dead model’s Hitbox becomes the size and volume of its base. A Dead model cannot receive Activation
points and cannot perform Activations nor Reactions. Unless stated otherwise, it cannot use or benefit
from any Skills, Traits, etc.

ENGAGED

During the Movement step when in the Active Role, an Engaged activated model may only declare Idle or Walk.
However, if it declares Walk, it can only move directly towards the enemy model that is causing the Engaged state.
While Engaged, a model may declare only Melee Attack, Assist (targeting itself) or Dodge.
A model ceases to be Engaged when it leaves the melee weapon reach of the enemy model, Disengages
with a Dodge, or by rendering the enemy model into the Incapacitated, Petrified, Crouched or Dead state.
While a model is Engaged, it automatically has LoS to all enemy models that are causing it to be Engaged,
but cannot react against models outside of its Awareness.

42
 FLYING

While in this state, the model:

- has doubled Speed.
- has Melee Attack Strike value of 1.
- may move over scenery, obstacles and models, or end its movement above them (unless the scenery is of an infinite
height).
- cannot benefit from Cover.
- cannot become Engaged (state).
- cannot voluntarily become Crouched (state).
- cannot be targeted by Melee Attacks, except by models that are also in the Flying state. However, if a
model in this state declares a Melee Attack against a model that is not in the Flying state, the attacked
model can declare a Melee Attack, targeting the Flying model.
- A Flying state is automatically canceled if a model in this state becomes Incapacitated, Dead,
Immobilized or Crouched (states).
- Attack and Movement Distances are measured as if the figure were placed on the field.

INCAPACITATED

When a model’s HP attribute reaches 0, the model becomes Incapacitated. The Hitbox of an
Incapacitated model becomes the size and volume of its base. An Incapacitated model cannot receive
Activation points and cannot perform Activations nor Reactions.
This state is canceled if the model regains at least 1 HP. When canceled, the model may voluntarily
become Crouched (state).
An already Incapacitated model that would suffer another wound automatically becomes Dead (state).
An incapacitated Leader cannot use Stratagems.

IMMOBILIZED

This state can be canceled with a successful Dodge, which may be performed either with Agility
or Toughness. A model in this state cannot perform any Movement, Special Movement or Special
Action. When it declares Dodge, it cannot move or enter/cancel the Crouched state, unless it
performs a successful Dodge.

PANICKED

A Panicked model must perform a Morale roll at the beginning of its every Activation or Reaction. If
it fails the roll when in its Active Role, it must perform an entire Run movement towards the nearest
open edge of the field. (If the distance from the two or more edges of the field were the same, the
player must decide towards which the model will run to.) If the movement of the model in this state
would end past the edge of the field, the model is removed from play and counts as a loss.
If the model fails the roll in its Reactive Role, it can only declare Dodge towards the edge of the
field or Idle as its Reaction.

POISONED

In its Strathegic Phase, a model in this state suffers a Wound.

43
SHROUDED

While a model is in this state, it is represented on the field by a Shrouded token. A model in this
state cannot be a target of actions other than Discover. The Shrouded state is automatically canceled
if the model declares a Normal Action (other than Nothing) or Special Action.
Performing an Attack in this state reveals the model, but grants the Surprise Attack trait to its
Attack.

WEAKENED

A model in this state has halved Toughness, and -1 Stamina.
