Common Abilities and Options

Predatory Xenoform:
This operative can perform two Fight actions during its activation.

Behaviour:
This NPO will move towards the enemy to fight them, but will seek cover on its way. When activated, if it can perform either of its first two actions during that activation, give it an Engage order. If it cannot, give it a Conceal order.

  1. Fight.
  2. Charge the closest player operative via the shortest possible route.
  3. Reposition towards the closest player operative, to cover if possible (a subsequent Dash action can fulfil this, if able).
  4. Dash towards the closest player operative, to cover if possible.

FlyPredatory XenoformSynaptic Link

Fly: Whenever a friendly operative performs an action in which it moves, it can FLY. If it does so, do not move it. Instead, remove it from the killzone and set it back up wholly within a distance equal to its Move stat (or 3" if it was a Dash) of its original location, measuring horizontal distance only. Note that it gains no additional distance when performing the Charge action.

It must be set up in a location it can be placed, and unless it was the Charge action, it cannot be set up within control range of an enemy operative. In a killzone that uses the Close Quarters rules (e.g. killzone Gallowdark), you cannot measure the distance over or through wall terrain, and that operative cannot be set up on the other side of an access point (in other words, it cannot FLY through an open hatchway).

Synaptic Link: STRATEGIC GAMBIT if this operative is not incapacitated.

Roll one D6 and compare the result to the number of the current turning point; if the result is:

  • Twice as high or higher: you gain 1CP.
  • Less: inflict damage on this operative equal to the result.
  • Any other result, nothing happens.

Equipment

Chromatospore Camouflage:
Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly RAVENER operative, if you can retain any cover saves, you can retain one additional cover save. This isn’t cumulative with improved cover saves from Vantage terrain.


Metamorphic Flesh:
Whenever a friendly RAVENER operative is activated, it regains up to D3 lost wounds.


Acid Blood:
Whenever a friendly RAVENER operative is fighting or retaliating, whenever an attack dice inflicts damage on it, roll one D6: on a 5+, inflict 1 damage on the enemy operative in that sequence.


Heightened Senses:
Once per battle, after rolling off to decide initiative, if a friendly RAVENER operative is underground and an enemy operative is within 5" of your TUNNEL, you can re-roll your dice.


Ploys
TacOps
Infiltration: Track Enemy

Reveal: The first time you score VP from this op.

Additional Rules:

An enemy operative is being tracked if it's a valid target for a friendly operative within 6" of it. That friendly operative must have a Conceal order, cannot be a valid target for the enemy operative it's attempting to track, and cannot be within control range of enemy operatives.

Victory Points:

At the end of each turning point after the first:

  • If one enemy operative is being tracked, you score 1VP, or 2VP instead if it's the fourth turning point.
  • If two or more enemy operatives are being tracked, you score 2VP.

You cannot score more than 2VP from this op per turning point.


Infiltration: Plant Devices

Reveal: The first time a friendly operative performs the Plant Device action.

Mission Action: Plant Device (1 AP)

  • One objective marker the active operative controls gains one of your Device tokens.
  • An operative cannot perform this action during the first turning point, while within control range of an enemy operative, or if that objective marker already has one of your Device tokens.

Victory Points:

At the end of each turning point after the first:

  • If your opponent's objective marker has one of your Device tokens, you score 1VP.
  • For each other objective marker enemy operatives contest that has one of your Device tokens, you score 1VP.

You cannot score more than 2VP from this op per turning point.


Infiltration: Steal Intelligence

Reveal: The first time an enemy operative is incapacitated.

Additional Rules:

Whenever an enemy operative is incapacitated, before it's removed from the killzone, place one of your Intelligence mission markers within its control range.

Friendly operatives can perform the Pick Up Marker action on your Intelligence mission markers, and for the purposes of that action's conditions, ignore the first Intelligence mission marker the active operative is carrying. In other words, each friendly operative can carry up to two Intelligence mission markers, or one and one other marker.

Victory Points:

At the end of each turning point after the first, if any friendly operatives are carrying any of your Intelligence mission markers, you score 1VP.

At the end of the battle, for each of your Intelligence mission markers friendly operatives are carrying, you score 1VP.


Recon: Flank

Reveal: As a STRATEGIC GAMBIT.

Additional Rules:

Divide the killzone into two flanks (left and right) by drawing an imaginary line that's just like the centreline, except it runs from the centre of each player's killzone edge. An operative contests a flank while both wholly within it and wholly within their opponent's territory. Friendly operatives control a flank if the total APL stat of those contesting it is greater than that of enemy operatives.

Victory Points:

  • After you reveal this op, at the end of each turning point after the first, for each flank friendly operatives control, you score 1VP.
  • In the fourth turning point, ff friendly operatives also controlled that flank at the end of the third turning point, you score 2VP instead.

You cannot score more than 2VP from this op per turning point.


Recon: Retrieval

Reveal: The first time you score VP from this op.

Mission Action: Retrieve (1 AP)

  • If the active operative controls an objective marker that hasn't been searched by friendly operatives, that operative is now carrying one of your Retrieval mission markers and that objective marker has been searched by friendly operatives. Friendly operatives can perform the Pick Up Marker action on your Retrieval mission markers.
  • An operative cannot perform this action during the first turning point, while within control range of an enemy operative, or if it's already carrying a marker.

Victory Points:

  • The first time each objective marker is searched by friendly operatives, you score 1VP.
  • At the end of the battle, for each of your Retrieval mission markers friendly operatives are carrying, you score 1VP.

Recon: Scout Enemy Movement

Reveal: The first time a friendly operative performs the Scout action.

Mission Action: Scout (1 AP)

  • Select one ready enemy operative visible to and more than 6" from the active operative. That enemy operative is now monitored until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase.
  • An operative cannot perform this action while it has an Engage order, during the first turning point, or while within control range of an enemy operative.

Victory Points:

At the end of each turning point after the first, for each monitored enemy operative that's visible to friendly operatives, you score 1VP. Note that it doesn't have to be a friendly operative that performed the Scout action.

You cannot score more than 2VP from this op per turning point.
