Shards of Vrensil

Common Abilities and Options

*Blaze:
If you inflict damage with any critical successes, the operative this weapon is being used against gains one of your Blaze tokens (if it doesn’t already have one). Whenever an operative that has one of your Blaze tokens is activated, inflict D3 damage on it. Then that operative’s controlling player selects one of the following:

  • Roll one D6: on a 3+, remove that token.
  • Subtract 1 from the operative’s APL stat until the end of that activation to remove that token.

Unspoken Bond:
Whenever a SHROUDED VIGIL operative is visible to another friendly SHROUDED VIGIL operative, you can treat this operative’s APL stat as one higher, to a maximum of 3. If you do, this takes precedence over all other rules, meaning any changes to its APL stat are ignored for this. This is not a change to the APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.

Psychic Null:
PSYCHIC ranged weapons cannot inflict damage on this operative. For the effects of PSYCHIC actions, this operative cannot be selected and is never treated as being within those actions’ required distances. Whenever an operative is within 6" of this operative:

  • That operative cannot perform PSYCHIC actions or use PSYCHIC additional rules.
  • That operative cannot use PSYCHIC ranged weapons.
  • PSYCHIC melee weapons have no weapon rules and cannot have Dmg stats higher than 3/4.

Loyal Companion: Whenever an enemy operative performs the Fight action, if this operative is a valid operative to fight against, you can force them to select this operative to fight against instead. Whenever an enemy operative ends the Charge action within control range of another friendly SHROUDED VIGIL operative within 3" of this operative, if this operative isn’t within control range of enemy operatives, this operative can immediately perform a free Charge action, but must end that move within control range of that enemy operative.

Beast: This operative cannot perform any actions other than Charge, Dash, Fall Back, Fight, Gather, Guard, Reposition, Pick Up Marker and Place Marker. It cannot use any weapons that aren’t on its datacard.

Gather (1AP): Perform a free Dash or Reposition action with this operative. During that move, you can perform a free Pick Up Marker or Place Marker action with this operative (you can determine control during that action to do so), and any remaining move distance it had from the Dash or Reposition action can be used after it does so. This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative.

Unspoken BondFlyPsychic Null2AP: *Twin Torrent*Blaze

Fly: Whenever this operative is performing the Charge, Fall Back or Reposition action, it can FLY. If it does, don’t move it. Instead, remove it from the killzone and set it back up wholly within a distance equal to its Move stat horizontally of its original location (in a killzone that uses the close quarters rules, e.g. Killzone: Gallowdark, this distance cannot be measured over or through Wall terrain). 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’s the Charge action, it cannot be set up within control range of an enemy operative.

*Twin Torrent (2AP): Select up to two valid targets. Shoot with this weapon against both of them in an order of your choice (roll each sequence separately). Torrent 0" means you cannot select secondary targets, but this weapon still has the Torrent weapon rule for all other rules purposes, e.g. the Condensed Stronghold rule (see Killzone: Volkus, Kill Team Core Book).

Medic!Unspoken BondPsychic Null1AP: Medikit

Medic!: The first time during each turning point that another friendly SHROUDED VIGIL operative would be removed from the killzone as incapacitated while visible to and within 3" of this operative, you can use this rule, providing neither this nor that operative is within control range of an enemy operative. If you do, that friendly operative isn’t incapacitated and has 1 wound remaining. That friendly operative can then immediately perform a free Dash action, but must end that move within this operative’s control range. Subtract 1 from this and that operative's APL stats until the end of their next activations respectively, and if this rule was used during that friendly operative's activation, that activation ends. You cannot use this rule if this operative is incapacitated.

Medikit (1AP): Select one friendly SHROUDED VIGIL operative within this operative's control range to regain up to 2D3 lost wounds. It cannot be an operative that the Medic! rule was used on during this turning point. This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative.

Savage Assault: The first time this operative performs the Fight action during each of its activations, if neither it nor the enemy operative in that sequence is incapacitated, this operative can immediately perform a free Fight action afterwards, but it can only fight against that enemy operative (and only if it’s still valid to fight against). This takes precedence over action restrictions.

No Witnesses: This operative can perform the Charge action while it has a Conceal order.

Vicious Duelist: Whenever this operative is fighting or retaliating, for each attack dice your opponent discards as a fail, inflict 1 damage on the enemy operative in that sequence.

Ploys

Sign of the Vigil
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when an enemy operative visible to and within 3" of a friendly SHROUDED VIGIL operative performs the Pick Up Marker or a mission action (excluding Operate Hatch). Your opponent must spend 1 additional AP for that enemy operative to perform that action (if they cannot or choose not to, the AP spent on it is refunded).

His Will Remains
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly SHROUDED VIGIL operative is activated. Until the end of that operative’s activation, you can ignore any changes to its stats (including its weapons’ stats).

Sororitas Aeterna
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy after rolling your attack dice for a friendly SHROUDED VIGIL operative, if it’s shooting against or fighting against an enemy operative that’s within 3" of a friendly SHROUDED VIGIL operative benefitting from UNSPOKEN BOND (or 6" if the OBLIVION KNIGHT). You can re-roll any of your attack dice.

Talons of Stone
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly SHROUDED VIGIL operative is activated. If that operative is benefitting from the UNSPOKEN BOND, for this activation it gains +1 APL.

Shield of Faith
Strategy Ploy

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly SHROUDED VIGIL operative that’s benefitting from the UNSPOKEN BOND, you can re-roll any of your defence dice results of one result (e.g. results of 2).

Silence in Motion
Strategy Ploy

Up to one third of the friendly SHROUDED VIGIL operatives in the killzone (rounding down, to a minimum of 1) can immediately perform a free Dash action in an order of your choice, but each that does so must end that move closer to its closest enemy operative, its closest objective marker or your opponent’s drop zone (you can choose separately for each). You cannot use this ploy during the first turning point.

In Defence of the Oath
Strategy Ploy

Whenever a friendly SHROUDED VIGIL operative that’s benefitting from the UNSPOKEN BOND is retaliating, its melee weapons have the Ceaseless weapon rule.

The Vigil Must Endure
Strategy Ploy

Until the end of the Turning Point, you can ignore any changes to the stats of friendly SHROUDED VIGIL operatives from being injured (including their weapons' stats).
