Special Rules

Some Special Rules have a wide effect affecting every Regiment currently within Range. These Special Rules can easily be identified by the Aura keyword next to their name. Aura Ranges are measured from any point of a Stand with that Special Rule.

While a Regiment declares an Action to Perform while currently within range of this Aura it benefits from its effects until the end of that Action. A Regiment cannot benefit from the same AuraSpecial Rule multiple times.

Rules and abilities with this keyword are always considered to be active regardless of whether a Character or Regiment is currently on the Battlefield, in Reinforcements or having been destroyed.

Stands in this Regiment count all their arcs as their Front Arc and Ignore Stands in this regiment for purpose of determining Line of Sight and Checking for obstruction when performing Volley Action.

Stands in this Regiment, including Characters, add +1 to their Volley Characteristic for the next Volley Action it takes this Activation. If this modifies the Volley Characteristic to a 5 or greater, they do not receive the +1 Volley but instead may Re-Roll unmodified Hit Rolls of "6".

Until the end of this Regiment's Activation, if the Regiment has the Aimed Shot Special Rule and is not currently occupying a piece of Garrison terrain, instead of performing a Volley Action as normal it may perform the following:The Regiment suffers -1 to its Volley Characteristic until the end of the Regiment's Activation.

Only Stands in the Regiment with this Special Rule may participate in this Volley Action. If all Stands in the Target Regiment are within a piece of Cover Terrain then the Barrage (X) Special Rule is halved as normal, if the Target Regiment does not have all its Stands within a piece of Cover Terrain then there are no penalties to the Barrage (X) Special Rule.

When a Stand with this Special Rule performs a Volley or Spellcasting Action, any Hits caused by those attacks reduce the Target Regiment's Defense by X. E.g. A Stand with Armor Piercing (2) would reduce the Target's Defense by 2 during Defense Rolls from its Volley Action.

Aura of Death (X):

• At the start of an Enemy Regiment's "Draw Command Card" Step, that Regiment suffers X Hits where X is equal to the sum of Aura of Death (X) value of each Stand in contact with that Regiment. These Hits do not Trigger Morale Tests.

• If the Regiment is destroyed by this Special Rule before the "Resolve Draw Event" step, then the Active Player discards the Command Card and may Draw their next Command Card and perform Actions with it.

• The maximum Value of Aura of Death (X) for a non-monster Regiment is always 4, that means each stand will add a maximum of 4 Hits, there is no such limitation for Monster Regiments.

E.g. A Stand with Brutal Impact (2) would reduce the Target's Defense by 2 when making Defense Rolls from its Impact Attacks.
