Equipment

Traitors Embrace

Once per battle, when one of your friendly CULT OF TORMENT operatives is incapacitated, you may use this equipment. When you do, before the operative is removed from the Killzone, inflict D3 damage to all operatives (friendly and enemies) within 1" of the incapacitated operative.

Twisted Knife

Once per turning point, if any damage was dealt to an enemy operative through Fighting or Retaliating, you can roll one D6.

On a 5+ that enemy operative is Injured regardless of its remaining Wounds.
If the result of the roll was less than 5+, a different friendly operative may use this equipment again this turning point.
If the result was 1, you may not use this equipment again for the rest of the battle.

Performance drugs

Once per battle, one friendly CULT OF TORMENT operative may use this equipment to gain 2" to it's movement stat until the end of their activation.

This equipment may not be used by your LEADER.

Chain Snare

Whenever an enemy operative would perform the Fall Back action while within control range of a friendly CULT OF TORMENT operative, if no other enemy operatives are within that friendly operative’s control range, you can use this rule.

If you do, roll two D6, or one D6 if that enemy operative has a higher Wounds stat than that friendly operative.

If any result is a 4+, that enemy operative gains one of your Caught tokens (if it doesn't already have one) and cannot perform that action during that activation or counteraction (no AP are spent on it).

Phantasm Grenade

Once per battle, you may choose one valid target within 6" of the active CULT OF TORMENT operative. Roll one D6:

If the result is equal to or higher than the enemy operative's APL stat, you spend 1AP and that enemy operative and any enemy operatives within 1" of that enemy operative suffers D3+1 damage.
If the result is less than the enemy operative's APL stat, nothing happens and a different friendly operative may try to use this equipment again.

Enemy operatives hit by this attack cannot be activated until all friendly WYCH operatives have been activated this Turning Point. (If all WYCH operatives have already activated, this effect is ignored.)

Razornet

Once per turning point, you may choose one valid target within 5" of the active CULT OF TORMENT operative. Roll one D6:

If the result is equal to or higher than the enemy operative's APL stat, you spend 1AP and that enemy operative gains one of your Caught tokens (if it doesn't already have one) and their movement stat is reduced by 2" until the end of their activation (this is not cumulative with the *Caught weapon rule).
If the result is less than the enemy operative's APL stat, nothing happens and a different friendly operative may try to use this equipment again.

Ploys

Cruel Deception

Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly CULT OF TORMENT operative’s activation, before or after it performs an action. During that activation, that operative can perform the Fall Back action for 1 less AP.

Perfect Choreography

Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly CULT OF TORMENT operative’s activation, when it deals damage to an enemy operative in it's control range. If that enemy operative is not injured or incapacitated, select one other ready friendly CULT OF TORMENT operative that’s visible to and within 3" of the enemy operative. When that first friendly operative is expended, you can activate that other friendly operative before your opponent activates. When that other operative is expended, your opponent then activates as normal.

Backstab

Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight Ploy at the beginning of your activation when another friendly CULT OF TORMENT operative is in control range of an enemy operative and is visible to and within 7" of the active operative. Immediately perform the Charge action and Fight that enemy operative (spend AP as appropriate for those actions). If you manage to deal critical damage to the enemy operative, that friendly CULT OF TORMENT operative may immediately perform a free Fall Back action.

Humiliation - 0CP

Firefight Ploy

Use this free firefight Ploy whenever you incapacitate an enemy operative during a Fight or Retaliation, before that operative is removed from the Killzone.

The enemy operative is not incapacitated and is left in the Killzone with 1 wound remaining instead.
The prevented incapacitation therefore doesn't count towards your Kill Op
The enemy operative suffers from the Injured state rules even if any other rule allows it to ignore them (this takes precedence over any other rule).
You immediately perform a free Fall Back action and gain 1CP (maximum of 2CP per turning point).

This Ploy may not be used on the same enemy operative more than once per battle.

This Ploy may be used multiple times each turning point.

This Ploy costs 1CP if you used it two times in the current turning point already (i.e. maximum of two free uses per turning point).

Spectacle of Agony

Firefight Ploy

This Firefight Ploy costs 0CP if used by your LEADER. The active CULT OF TORMENT operative must have an Engaged order and spend 2AP to use this Firefight Ploy:

Perform a free Reposition action with this operative. During that action, it can move an additional 1", and can move within control range of enemy operatives (it cannot begin or end the move there). Inflict D3+1 damage on each enemy operative it moved within control range of (roll separately for each after it’s moved, in the order it moved within control range of them).

RANGED ARTISTS

Strategy Ploy

Friendly CULT OF TORMENT operatives’ ranged weapons have the Rending weapon rule.

MERCILESS SADISTS

Strategy Ploy

Whenever a friendly CULT OF TORMENT operative is shooting against or fighting against a wounded enemy operative, that friendly operative’s weapons have the Balanced weapon rule.

WELCOME TO THE SHOW

Strategy Ploy

You may use this strategy ploy in the first turning point only. Until the end of the Turning Point, when a friendly CULT OF TORMENT operative's activation ends, if that operative performed a Dash action during that activation (and did not perform a Charge action or any Mission actions), that operative may immediately perform a free Dash action, but must end their movement at least 9" away from all enemy operatives.

HARVEST PLAYTHINGS

Strategy Ploy

Until the end of this turning point, while any friendly CULT OF TORMENT operative Fights or Retaliates against an enemy operative with one of your Caught tokens, that friendly operative's melee weapons gain the Punishing weapon rule. If the enemy operative is not injured, their melee weapons also gain the Brutal weapon rule.

(Punishing - If you retain any critical successes, you can retain one of your fails as a normal success instead of discarding it.)

(Brutal - Your opponent can only block with critical successes.)
