Common Abilities and Options
Technoarcane Benedictions:
In the Ready step of the first strategy phase, Select one of the following rules to use for the battle:
-
SCHEMATOGRAPHIC OMNIPOTENCE: Add 1 to the Move stat of friendly COG operatives (excluding WAR DOG EXECUTIONER and WAR DOG STALKER) for the battle.
-
DATAGHEIST HOWL: Once per batte and in the Ready step of a strategy phase after the first, you can roll a 1D3. On 2+, subtract 1 from your opponent's total CP. Note that if you fail the roll, you can use this rule again on the next strategy phase.
-
CYBERMEMATODE INFESTATION: In the Ready step of a strategy phase after the first, you can select one objective marker that you and your opponent don't control. That marker is controlled by you until your opponent does so.
*Rad:
In the Resolve Attack Dice step, if you inflict damage with a critical success, the operative this weapon is being used against gains one of your Rad Tokens (if it does not already have one). When an operative that has one of your Rad Tokens is activated, inflict 1 damage on it and worsen its Save stat by 1 until the end of its next activation, then remove that token from that operative.
Corrupted Vessel:
Whenever an enemy operative is within 2 inches of this operative, that operative gains one of your Rad Tokens (if it does not already have one). Whenever an operative that has one of your Rad Tokens is activated, inflict 1 damage on it and worsen its Save stat by 1.
Ignore any changes to the stats of this operative from being injured.
Iron Wall Of Silence:
While this operative has a Conceal order and is in cover, it cannot be selected as a valid target, taking precedence over all other rules (e.g. Seek, Vantage terrain) except being within 2 inches.
This operative can perform the Charge action while it has a Conceal order.
Whenever an enemy operative is shooting this operative while this operative is not in cover, worsen that enemy operative’s Hit stat by 1.
Creep:
Whenever this operative performs a Reposition action, 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 can be measured over or through Wall terrain).
Techno-toid:
This operative cannot perform any actions other than Charge, Dash, Fall Back, Fight and Reposition or use any weapons that is not on its datacard. It can perform the Fall Back action for 1 less AP.
This operative cannot contest markers or areas of the killzone.
Enemy operatives can move within control range of it. Having only this operative within their control range does not prevent enemy operatives from performing a Charge or Dash or Reposition actions and enemy operatives can leave this operative’s control range when performing a Charge action.
