In Death, Pardon: SUPPORT Once per turning point, when a ready friendly Chem Dog operative (not including your Parole Officer or Commander) is incapacitated while visible to and within 6" of this operative, you can use this rule. If you do, before that operative is removed from the killzone, it can perform a 1AP action for free (excluding Fight), and you can change its order to do so. It's then removed from the killzone as normal. You cannot use this rule and the Medic! rule on the same operative at the same time.

Grenadier: This operative can use frag, krak, and stun grenades (see universal equipment). Doing so doesn’t count towards any limited uses you have (i.e. if you also select those grenades from equipment for other operatives). Whenever it’s doing so, improve the Hit stat of that weapon by 1.

Explosive Demise: If this operative is incapacitated, before it's removed from the killzone, you can choose to make a shooting action (regardless of any action restrictions). You must use this operative's Explode profile for this action, and you can ignore the effects of being injured.

*A Bolter weapon is any weapon with the word "bolt" in the title.

Search for Scraps (1AP): Roll a D3. On a 3+, you gain 1CP. If this operative is within 2" of an objective, you can roll an additional D3 for the chance for an additional 1 CP. If this operative has a CHEM token, rolls of 2+ instead of 3+ reward CP.

You can resolve the first attack dice (i.e. defender instead of attacker).
This operative's melee weapons have the Brutal keyword.
This operative's melee weapons' hit stats are improved by one.

Take Some of Mine

Firefight Ploy

SUPPORT When a friendly Chem Dog operative with a CHEM token is activated, you can choose to use this ploy. If you do, remove that CHEM token and give it to another friendly Chem Dog operative within 6" who does not currently have a CHEM token.

Prisoner Sacrifice

Firefight Ploy

Use this ploy when a Penal Legion Commissar or Penal Legion Parole Officer operative has been selected as the target of a shooting action or enemy charge. If you do, select a friendly Chem Dog operative within 3" of this operative and remove both operatives from the killzone, placing them back in each other's location (in other words, swap places).

Pain Killers

Firefight Ploy

Use this ploy when a friendly Chem Dog operative has activated, counteracted, or is retaliating. You can ignore the effects of being injured for that operative for the rest of the turning point.

Heightened Awareness

Strategy Ploy

When you use this ploy, you gain three Awareness points. Whenever a friendly Chem Dogs operative is the target of a shooting attack and has a CHEM token, you can choose to spend 1 Awareness point. If you do, that operative's save stat is improved by 1 for the duration of that shooting attack. Afterwards, that CHEM token is removed.

Military Grade Ammo

Strategy Ploy

When you use this ploy, you gain three Ammo points. Whenever a friendly Chem Dogs operative is shooting, fighting, or retaliating, you can choose to spend 1 Ammo point.

Collateral Damage

Strategy Ploy

SUPPORT While this ploy is active, friendly Chem Dog operatives who are visible to and within 6" of a friendly Penal Legion Commander or Penal Legion Parole Officer operative can use this rule when selecting a valid target for a shooting action. If you do, having other friendly Chem Dog operatives within an enemy operative's engagement range doesn't prevent that enemy operative from being selected as a valid target.

You cannot use this Ploy after the first Turning Point.
