House Brute: Whenever your opponent is selecting a valid target, if this operative has a Conceal order, it cannot use Light terrain for cover. Whilst this can allow this operative to be targeted (assuming it is visible), it does not remove its cover save (if any).

Whenever a friendly ESCHER operative that is within control range of this operative is selected as the valid target of a Shoot action or to fight against during a Fight action, this operative becomes the valid target or to be fought against (as appropriate) instead, even if it normally would not be valid for this. If it is a Fight action, treat this operative as being within the fighting operative's control range for the duration of that action. If it is a Shoot action, this operative is only in cover or obscured if the original target was. This rule has no effect if it is a Shoot action and the ranged weapon has Blast or Torrent special rule.

This operative cannot perform any action other than Charge, Dash, Fall Back, Reposition, Shoot and Fight. It cannot use any weapon that is not on its datacard.

Whenever this operative is fighting, in the Resolve Attack Dice step, you select one critical success to inflicts 1D3 damage in addition to the damage of that success.

Whenever this operative is fighting or retaliating. In the Roll Attack Dice step; whenever you discard an attack die as a fail, inflict normal damage on one other friendly operative of your choice within control range of the target.

At the end of the Ready step of each strategy phase, this operative regains 1 lost wound.

Felitoid: Whenever this operative is climbing up, you can treat the vertical distance as 2 inches (regardless of how far the operative actually moves vertically). Whenever this operative is dropping down, ignore the vertical distance of that drop.

Equipment

GRAPNEL LAUNCHER

Once per turning point a friendly ESCHER operative (excluding HIRED ARM) can perform a Grapnel Launcher action.

Grapnel Launcher (1 AP): Select a visible point on a terrain feature within 6 inches for this operative. Remove this operative from the killzone and set it back up within 1 inch horizontally of that point in a location it can be placed, not within control range of enemy operatives, and with that point visible to it. This action is treated as a Reposition action. This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or during an activation in which it performed a Charge or Fall Back action (or vice-versa).

GAS CANISTERS

You can set-up to two of your Gas Canister Markers wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2 inches from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain. In the Ready Operatives step of each strategy phase, the range of each Gas Canister Markers’ area of gas is x. where x is the number of the turning point. Whenever an operative is within a Gas Canister Marker’s area of gas, it gains a Gas Token for the battle.

BLADE CAGES

You can set up to two of your Blade Cage Markers wholly within your territory and more than 2 inches from other markers, access points, and Accessible terrain. The first time that marker is within an operative's control range, remove that marker, end its action (if any), even if that action's effects aren’t fulfilled. If it cannot be placed, move it the minimum amount to do so. Inflict 1D3 damage on it then end its activation. It cannot counteract until the end of the turning point.

CHYM SYNTH

Once per turning point when a friendly ESCHER operative (except KHIMERIX and PHELYNX) is activated, its ranged weapons which have the Poison, Gas and/or Toxic weapon rules can have the Balanced weapon rule until the end of the turning point.

Ploys

BAD BLOOD
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when an enemy operative incapacitates a friendly ESCHER operative (excluding KHIMERIX and PHELYNX). Until the end of the battle, whenever another friendly operative is shooting, fighting or retaliating against that enemy operative, that other friendly operative’s weapons have the Relentless weapon rule. You cannot use this ploy again during the battle until that enemy operative is incapacitated.

REACTION FIRE
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy immidiately after an enemy operative performs a Shoot action against a ready friendly ESCHER operative (excluding HIRED ARM) and that friendly operative is not incapacitated. You can counteract with that friendly operative but it can only perform a Shoot action (if able) in which that enemy operative is its target (or primary target for the Blast weapon rule).

RETURN TO SENDER
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when an enemy operative is performing a Shoot action using an Explosive Grenade (i.e universal equipment) or Utility Grenade action and a ready friendly ESCHER operative (excluding HIRED ARM) is its target. That action cannot be performed. Instead, that friendly operative can counteract to perform that action (if it was a Shoot action, use the same Explosive Grenade declared to be used during the earlier disrupted action). After the action ends, subtract 1 from the number of opponent’s Grenades for the type that was used or from the total number of times the Utitlty action is to be used for the battle. If it was a Smoke Grenade action and the Smoke Grenade Marker were to be placed within control range of that friendly operative, you can place the Smoke Grenade Marker instead as close as possible to the center of that enemy operative’s base.

HIT AND RUN
Firefight Ploy

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly ESCHER operative (excluding HIRED ARM) is fighting, after you strike with a critical success. End that sequence (any remaining attack dice are discarded) and immediately perform a free Dash or Fall Back action up to 3 inches with that friendly operative (then the Fight action ends). That operative can do so even if it has performed an action that prevents it from performing the Dash or Fall Back action (this takes precedence over action restrictions).

SHARPENED AND SOAKED
Strategy Ploy

Until the end of the turning point, friendly ESCHER operatives’ Stiletto Swords and Knives have the Accurate 1 and Poison* weapon rules.

PEW-PEW!
Strategy Ploy

Until the end of the turning point, friendly ESCHER operatives’ Lasguns and Stub Guns have the Ceaseless weapon rule.

ULTRA-VIOLENCE
Strategy Ploy

Whenever a friendly ESCHER operative (excluding HIRED ARM) is incapacitated during a Fight action in an activation during which it has performed a Charge action, you can strike with one of your unresolved successes (if any) before it is removed from the killzone.

SIREN HOWLS
Strategy Ploy

Whenever a friendly ESCHER operative (excluding HIRED ARM) incapacitates an enemy operative, roll 1D6. On 5+, add 1 to the APL stat of a ready friendly operative (except KHIMERIX and PHELYNX) until the end of the turning point.
