Special Abilities

7/29/2019 Special Abilities

1/6

With theAmazing War Stories supplement, new Sub-Abilities

have been added. A Sub-Ability is one that can only be taken

when a main Ability or specic piece of equipment has been

taken rst. A Sub-Ability will have the main Ability or equipment

listed in brackets [XXX] after it.

Cmbat

Ambdexts: Models with this ability can use two one-handedweapons in combat. Instead of 1 attack for each attack action, this

model gets 2. For example, a model with two handguns would be

able to make two aimed shots or four snap shots.

Batte Cy: Models with this ability let out a terrifying yell

when charging into close combat, temporarily paralyzing their

opponents. Any enemy model charged by a model with Battle

Cry must make a GT check or withdraw from close combat

during their subsequent phase (if the model has a Wait action,

then it must use the Wait to withdraw).

Bade Maste: Unlike fencing, which is gentlemanly and

controlled, the blade master skill is wild and elegant. A modelwith Blade Master twirls and waves the sword in a fantastic

display of control. Though it seems extraneous in combat, it

serves to confuse the defender allowing the model with Blade

Master to strike more accurately. Models with Blade Master

add +1 to their SH score and can use hero points to change the

location of their hit in close combat, but only if using a long

blade.

Bet Stke [Rocket Pack Ability]: The model picks its path

(lying down a ruler works) and rolls a d10 to see if the Rocket

Pack works. A 1 or 2 produce the same effects as stated under the

Rocket Pack. On a 3-9 the model moves in a straight line for 6

and then adds the results of the d10 for their remaining movementin inches (so movement will be from 9 to 15). On a result of 10

on the d10, the model moves 16 and rolls a d10 again and adds

the number rolled to their movement (producing a movement of

16 to 26). Any model within 1 of the path can be attacked in

close combat with the models WS for Fist increased to BW+3.

The model does not stop to engage each of these defenders

and suffers no ill effects from leaving close combat. Instead of

attacking multiple models, an attack can be made on one single

model. The target model would have to make a DG test as though

dodging a moving vehicle. If the DG test fails, the model is

struck with a WS 10 hit, the attacker suffers a WS 5 hit in the

attack. For the single model attack to be successful, the attacker

must move at least 8 before striking the target. If the target isstruck prior to 8 then no damage is done, but the target model is

carried along for the remainder of the movement.

Cceaed weap: Models with this ability have learned to

conceal weapons in unique places, from deadly throwing darts

concealed as hair pins to small pistols stuck in garters. Because of

this, they often get the jump on an attacker. Whenever this model

is attacked in combat, they can expend a hero point and attack

before their attacker if they have not already activated this turn.

Dead Sht: Models with this ability are expert marksmen and

know how to hit a specic area of a target. Models with this

ability may use Hero Points to alter the hit location roll for any

ranged combat shot.

Expet Fghte: This skill is similar to Dead Shot except it

applies to close combat attacks. Models with this ability have

learned to strike at vulnerable areas when in close combat. They

may use Hero Points to adjust hit location in close combat.

Fet [Pgst]: If a model with this ability is attacked in close

combat and the attacking model misses, the model with Feint can

spend a hero point to make a single close combat attack, even if

the model has already activated this turn. This replicates a model

being drawn into a poor swing only to be taken out with the hidden

right (or left) hook.

Fecg (+X): Models with this ability are excellent in close

combat with a bladed weapon. They add 1 to their SH score if

equipped with a short blade, long blade, or two-handed blade

and are never forced to withdraw (though they still can choose

to) when defending. This ability can also be referred to as knifeghting.

Fecs (+X): Models with this ability are particularly

vicious in close combat. They usually have claws or an inhuman

bloodlust that drives them into a killing frenzy. Models with this

ability get +1 to their WS when using sts/claws.

Fyg Kck [Mata Ats]: A model with this ability performs

a leaping kick when charging into combat. When charging into

combat, the model can attack two models within 2 of one anothe

with a single action, or can put more power behind a single attack

If attacking two models, the attacking model is placed halfway

between the two defending models at the end of its charge. Theplayer then rolls to attack each model separately. The attacking

model can push a defending model back but cannot use any of

the other close combat outcomes. If attacking a single model, the

attacker can add half of its SHIV rounded down to the Weapon

Strength of the attack.

Haymake [Pgst] (+X): Models with this ability know how

to put all their weight behind a single punch, but in doing so, they

telegraph to their opponent exactly what is coming (not that this

guarantees the defender can get away). Boxers often use this type

of punch against an opponent who is on the ropes and no longer

able to ght, but refuses to go down. The model gives up X points

of SHIV for the attack and adds them to its Weapon StrengthModels must declare this before they roll to hit.

Hgh Stegth (+X): Models with this ability are stronger than

others. Models get +1 to their BW score.

Jd Thw [Mata Ats]: This ability represents any kind o

Martial Arts throw. A model with this ability adds half of its SHIV

rounded down, to its BRAWN when determining if it can throw a

model and how far. So a model with a SHIV of 5 would add 2 to its

BRAWN to see if it can throw another model and to its throwing

distance.

2/6

Ke istct: Models with this ability have learned through

years of experience how to spot and exploit weak points on their

targets. If the model expends a hero point, they can double the

WS of the weapon they are using for that shot or strike. This must

be declared before the hit location is rolled.

leaf the Wd Defese [Mata Ats]: A model with this

ability can choose to solely concentrate on defense this round. By

ducking, dodging, weaving, and generally turning their body into

rubber a model manages to somehow avoid or minimize all of the

attackers attacks. No close combat or ranged attacks may be made

by the model but it can still move up to half of its SPEED. Add the

models DODGE score to its SHIV when anyone attempts to hit

the model with a Ranged or Close Combat attack this round.

Mata Ats (+X): Models with this ability are expert in some

form of unarmed combat. They can attack with hands or feet.

Models with this ability get +1 to SH and attack with no weapon

in close combat as though they have a club, even out to 1 range.

Also, when knocked down or prone, models with this ability do

not halve their SH scores. This cannot be taken in conjunction

with Pugilist.

Mtpe Attacks (+X): Models with this ability are either

extremely skilled in close combat and able to strike repeatedly

or, in the case of some machines, equipped with more than one

weapon to strike with. The model receives one extra close combat

attack. It cannot be taken in conjunction with Ambidextrous.

Ps: Models with this ability either have a natural venom

attack or coat their weapon in some sort of poison. Poison cannot

be used on rearms, but any other weapon can be poisoned. If

a model is wounded by a poisoned weapon, it must make a BW

test at the begnning of each turn or cross off another box in the

area initially wounded. Models must continue to make this check

until treated by a model with Medical Knowledge or the entire

location has been crossed off.For example: a model hit in the

Torso during close combat by a poisoned dagger must make a

BW test at the beginning of each turn or cross another box off

in the Torso location until all boxes in the Torso are crossed off.

When the last box in the area is crossed off the poison effect has

ended.

Pgst (+X): Models with this ability are expert in some form

of boxing. Models with this ability get +1 to their SH score and

attack with no weapon in close combat as though they have a

club. They do not, however, have the 1 range of the club. This

cannot be taken in conjunction with Martial Arts.

Qck (+X): Models with this ability have quick reexes. Modelsget +1 to the DG score.

rsh Attack: Models with this ability can strike in close combat

and continue their movement. The model is moved into combat,

combat is resolved (with charge bonus) and then the model can

continue with any remaining movement. A model must be able to

move at least 3 in order to use this ability. The model can move

into base contact with another enemy model, but cannot attack in

the turn they contact the second model.

Shapshte (+X): Models with this ability get +1 to their HT

score.

Sh Thwe: Models with this ability are excellent knife

ghters. They prefer the silence of a blade and can throw it with

great accuracy. However, they are not great marksmen with a

rearm. Models with this ability can use their SH score for any

ranged combat attack where they throw a short blade.

Scke Pch [Pgst] (+X): Models with this ability try to

deceive their opponent. When attacking they feign an attack withone hand, while striking quickly with another. The model gives

up X points of Weapon Strength and adds them to its SHIV score.

Models must declare before they roll to hit.

Kwedge

Ama Hadg: Models with this ability spend most of their

time working with and training animals. If in combat with a wild

or trained animal, they get +1 to their chance to hit from their

intimate knowledge of the behavior of animals. A model with this

ability may also take a trained animal. The animal model will

remain a part of the group as long as the handler is still alive (see

rules for Animals).

Assat Egee: The assault engineer knows how to work with

whatever he is given. Using available items, whatever explosive

devices are lying around, and a knowledge of how to blow things

up, he can make a more powerful explosive from a lesser one

(or several lesser ones). By spending an action and passing a

BRAINS (BR) test, the model can make a Type 1 explosive into

a Type 2 or a Type 4 explosive into a Type 3 (but it cannot be

red and must be placed). If the model rolls a 1 on the d10 then it

has made a fatal miscalculation, the charge is armed, and during

initiative, the explosive gets a roll as well. It will then explode on

its turn (rst if it won initiative or last if it did not) to activate at

the increased strength and range.

Bby Tap: Models with this ability are adept at hiding

explosives in mundane objects or rigging them to objects of

everyday use. If an event card is drawn by an opposing model,

and its a dud or no effect, by expending a hero point, the model

with this ability can make it a booby trap instead. The trap would

be a Type I explosive.

Daede Fye [Rocket Pack Ability]: Models with this ability

perform risky high-G maneuvers. They have done them so many

times that these stunts become almost commonplace for them,

but there is always some element of risk. If a model is about

to collide with an object because of an out of control pack ormovement that extends too far, or if the model goes out of control

on their initial roll, the model can perform a single 90 turn.

When the model nishes its movement, it then must pass a BW

test or fall unconscious at the spot of its landing.

Decept: Models with deception are fast talkers, sympathetic

characters, or vamps and can use their action to deceive an enemy

model within 3. If the model with deception wins a comparative

BR roll versus the target model, then for the remainder of the turn

any attacks directed at the model with deception will strike the

deceived model instead (this model feels the need to protect the

opposing model from all harm.)Page 2 www.pulp-heroes.com


3/6

Demts Expet (+X): Models with this ability gain a bonus

to their BRAINS (BR) when attempting to arm or disarm an

explosive device or to convert a Type I or Type IV explosive into

a Type III.

Dected Fe: Models with this ability can direct group members

to shoot at a weak spot in an opposing model (model being

attacked must be designated as having a weak spot). The model

with this ability spends an action to direct re, all other friendly

models within 6 are assumed to have Dead Shot against the

target model(s).

Dsgse: Models with this ability are masters of disguisethey

can appear as almost anyone. Once per game the model with

this ability can be switched with any Grade 1 enemy model that

has not made a combat action in the current turn. The players

make an opposed die roll, both adding their BR score. If the

disguised model wins, then it is switched with the enemy model.

The opposing player then places his model no closer than 6

from the model with disguise. If the enemy model wins, then

the Disguised model is left in place and can no longer attempt to

switch with an enemy model.

Egee: Models with this ability are experts in blowing thingsup (and preventing them from blowing up). For each action they

spend they can attempt to increase the damage and range of a Type

II or Type III explosive. The model spends an action and makes

a BRAINS (BR) test. If successful, the WS increases by 2, the

multiplier by 1, and the range by 1. This only works on charges

that are placed, not thrown. If the model rolls a 1 on the d10 then

it has made a fatal miscalculation, the charge is armed and during

initiative, the explosive gets a roll as well. It will then explode

on its turn to activate at the increased strength and range. Models

with this ability can also attempt to defuse an explosive device.

Again, on a roll of 1 on the BR test, the explosive gets an initiative

roll to determine when it will go off next turn.

Fce f W: A model with this ability has learned to force itself

to do things that would normally be impossible. Whenever this

model needs to make a BRAWN test, it can spend a Hero Point to

allow it to test against GUTS instead. The model can also use this

ability with any BRAINS test to prevent mind control, the effects

of gas or poison, to prevent being rendered unconscious by drugs,

or to regain consciousness due to wounds.

Ges (+X): Models with the Genius ability are smarter than

others. They get +1 to their BR score.

Hte: Models with this ability add 2 to their chance, and add 1

to the chance of all friendly models within 6, when attempting toavoid any snare trap, pit trap, or bear trap while outdoors. Models

with this ability also gain a +1 when shooting at models with the

Camouage ability outdoors.

i W: Models with this ability can force themselves to shake

off the effects of wounds. By successfully passing a BR test, the

model can use the last marked wound box on their sheet if all the

boxes in their Arms or Legs have been crossed off. This roll must

be made each turn. If they are rendered Unconscious, they get +1

to their roll to recover.

Jack f A Tades: Models with this ability know a little bit abou

a lot of different things. They need to be able to fend for themselves

in the world and rely on only a handful of close acquaintances

Because of this loner personality, they have picked up numerous

skills along the way. The model can choose three skills from

Engineering, Medical Knowledge, Language, Safecracker, and

Professorship, and use them as though they have a BRAINS of 1

for that ability.

lagage: Models with this ability have learned many differentlanguages, both those still used and those long dead. When faced

with deciphering a language related clue, warning, etc, models

with this ability must pass BR test to decipher it correctly.

Mechac: Models with this ability know the inner workings

of machines and vehicles. By spending an action and making

a successful BR test, a mechanic can repair a non-working

machine. If the item happens to be an invention (see rules for

Inventors) then the model must roll using half their BR score.

Medca Kwedge: Models with this ability can attempt to

heal their comrades. Models with this ability must start the turn

in base-to-base contact with the wounded model. They must pass

a BR test to restore 1 wound to any location on a wounded model

or negate the effects of poison. No other action can be taken

by either model during the turn in which the healing is being

attempted.

Mesmeze: A model with this ability can affect the will of

others. By spending an action, a model with this ability can cause

any friendly model to become invisible to an enemy model. To

cause a model to become invisible, the model with this ability

declares a target model within 3. That model must roll a d10 and

add their BR score. If they score 10 or less they are unable to act

against the designated model for the remainder of the turn.

Pfessshp (+X): There are many sciences and studies thatare too infrequently used to warrant getting separate skills. They

are being lumped under Professorship. This group of skills covers

things like Geology, Archaeology, Paleontology, etc. When this

skill is given to a model, it should be noted what their study is in.

Models with this ability gain a bonus when attempting to pass a

test where this skill would be of use.For example, a model with

Professorship (+1 Archaeology) would get +1 to a test where it

must decipher ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Safecacke (+X): Models with this ability are experts at opening

locks of any kind: from doors to complex combination safes. If

confronted with a locked door or safe, the model can use a BRAINS

test to attempt to open it. The model can increase its chances bytaking additional points. So a model with a BRAINS of 3 and

Safecracker (+2) would need a 5 or higher to open a lock with no

difculty modiers.

Steetwse: Models with this ability know much about the local

history and layout of their home turf. When a model with this

ability moves within 4 of an encounter chit, they can use an

action to make a BR test to see what the encounter is.



4/6

Tactcs (+X): This is an updated version of the ability and changes

what appears in the original rulebook. Models with this ability add

X to their initiative roll at the beginning of the turn. The model

also adds X to their DODGE score to determine the order models

activate. So a model with DG 3 and Tactics +1 will have a DG 4 for

determining its order of activation. Therefore it will now go before

a model with DG 4 that did not win initiative. The bonus is not

added to the DODGE score for any tests or combat resolution.

othe Sks

Camoufage (-X): Models with this ability know how to use the

terrain to hide themselves. Any model with this ability that is

prone or has not moved more than 1 during their last activation

is at 1 to be hit.

Case Fea: Cause Fear comes in three Grades (just like model

archetypes). The Grade level reects which Grade type and lower

the Fear effects. Cause Fear (Grade 2) will cause Models of

Grade 2, Grade 1, or Grade 1/2 to make a GUTS (GT) check or

suffer the effects of panic. Any model that comes within 6 of a

Fear-Causing model must take the panic check.

Det: Models with this ability would take a bullet for thehero (master). If the model with this ability is within 3 of a

Grade 3 model that is wounded, the wound can be transferred

to the devoted model instead (it is transferred to the exact same

location). If the wound kills the Devoted model, then the Grade 3

model can expend one Hero Point and take an immediate action

(even if the model already acted this turn or the model would not

act yet because of its DG score).

De (+X): Models with this ability have learned to drive under

intense situations. Whenever they must take a DG test while

driving a ground vehicle, they add +1 to their DG.

Feaf Pesece: A model with this ability strikes fear intohis minions. They know failure will bring death (or worse!) As

such, any model of lower grade that is within 6 of a model with

Fearful Presence (who is not currently panicked) need not take a

panic test.

Feaess: Immune to the effects of Fear and Battle Cry.

Hde: Models with this ability can disappear into the shadows

or have the ability to blend with their surroundings like a

chameleon. Any model with this ability that does not move, can

attempt to hide by spending an action. Any time an enemy model,

more than 3 away, tries to target the hidden model, they must

rst make a test against their BR score. If they pass, they cantarget the model as normal. Failure to spot causes the spotting

model to lose the action. Once a model is hidden it can move at

half its current movement rate without losing its hidden status.

Hsemashp: Models with this skill are excellent riders. They

get +1 to their BW score when trying to prevent being thrown

from a mount.

ige Pa: Models with this ability can ignore the pain their

wounds cause them. Models with this ability can use the last

marked box on their wound chart for their stat rolls until the last

box in a location is crossed off. At that point, they must abide by

the rules for that location.

itmdate: Models with this ability cause enemy models to

hesitate in fear. Any enemy model within 6 of an Intimidating

model must make a GT test or be unable to act against the

Intimidating model. The model can move away from the

Intimidating model.

leap: Models with this ability can jump twice as far as a normal

model. Double the normal leap distance for models with thisability.

lcky (+X): Models with this ability are always getting

themselves into trouble and fumbling at the worst time, but things

always seem to work out for them. Models with this ability have

1 Hero Point each turn which only they can use. The Point must

be used in the current turn and does not carry over from one turn

to the next (you cannot save them). The model also must select

one of the following aws for the model for each Lucky Hero

Point they take.

Jumpy - Models that are Jumpy are startled by loud noises

Whenever a model who is Jumpy res a gun, on a roll of 2 on theto hit roll, the model has dropped the gun. However, the model

can expend a Lucky Hero Point and the gun res when it hits

the ground. Roll as though the model had red normally (ignore

special effects of a 1 or 2) and determine whether the target was

hit. Even if the target model is not hit, it must still make a Morale

check as though it were, because the bullet from the dropped gun

is ricocheting around. The ring model must spend an action to

retrieve the gun on their next turn if they want to use it.

Clumsy - Whenever this model is shot at, it can double

its DG score by falling down. The DG score is doubled, but

the model is considered prone from that point until it spends an

action to get up.

Butter Fingers - Whenever this model is wounded, it dropswhatever it is carrying. Items move up to 6 from the model in

the direction chosen by the player. The item can land in the hands

of another model. However, if there is an enemy model within

1 of the target point, then the player must expend a Lucky Hero

Point in order to get the item to land in a friendly models hands.

Otherwise, both players roll a d10 and add their DG score, the

higher roll catches the item.

Ineptfghter - This model gets -1 to their SH score and

cannot take this in conjunction with Martial Arts or Pugilist. By

expending a Lucky Hero Point, this model, when wounded in

close combat, can transfer the damage to any other model within

1, including enemy models, but excluding the attacker. If there

are no enemy models within 1, then the model takes the wound.

Make-up Artist: This model is not adept enough to Disguise

themselves and slip past guards and henchman, but they can make

themselves look innocuous enough to go unnoticed. Models with

this ability can be left off the board until an opportune moment

By passing a BRAINS test, they can be placed within 3 of any

friendly Grade 3 model but not in base contact with any enemy

model.



5/6

Meet My Ms: A model with Meet My Minions does not

need to place any level 1 or lower models from his team on the

table at the start of the game. Any number of these models may

be withheld for a pivotal confrontation or ambush. At any point

where the villain is confronted with an enemy model within 3

he may simply state Enemy character name, Id like you to

meet my minions. A BR test is required. Success allows all the

level 1 or lower minion models not in play to be placed within 3

of either the Villain or his nemesis. Placed minions activate as if

they had been in the game by the normal initiative rules. Minionswho are placed after their logical initiative turn are assumed

to be waiting/ready. Minions cannot be initially placed in base

contact with enemy models but can move into contact when it

is their turn to go. Failure indicates the Villain looks around, but

his minions have decided to not show at the right moment. The

minions instead are placed by the opposing player anywhere on

the board but at least 12 away from any enemy models (but not

in traps or any spot that would cause immediate damage to the

minion). Also, when the villain is knocked unconscious or unable

to communicate he can not have his minions appear.

Mtaeeg: Models with this ability climb at 2 per action

and add 1 to their DG and BR score when making any rollthat involves climbing. Models with this ability also add 1 to

their ability to avoid all dangerous encounter chits when in the

mountains.

Mted: Models with this ability always start the game

mounted on an animal. The mount may be killed or may bolt

from the board, but unless specied in the scenario, they always

begin the next game with a mount again.

Mtate: A model with this ability has trained people for many

years. They are quick reads of their students and no just what

to say to get them going. If the model with this ability passes a

BRAINS test, then any one model within 3 gets +1 to its SHIV

score for the remainder of the turn.

nees f Stee (+X): Models with this ability add +1 to their GT

score.

nght vs: Models with this ability can see well in darkness.

They have a 50% greater range (18) of seeing in the dark.

nmbe: Models with this ability have excellent balance and the

ability to quickly recover if knocked off-balance. Models with

this ability may re-roll any failed test against their DG score (tests

that add DG with other stats cannot be re-rolled). The player must

abide by the results of the second roll.

obseat: Models with this ability are trained to observe their

surroundings and always be aware of whats going on. The model

with this ability can roll under their BR score if they are within

3 of an encounter chit to determine what it is. Models with this

ability also gain a +1 when attempting to spot models with the

Hide special ability.

Spt (+X): Models with this ability are faster than normal

humans. Models add +1 to their SP score.

Steath: Models with this ability have trained to get in close

to their enemy without detection. On the rst turn of the game,

models with this ability can perform one additional Move (or

Charge) action. It can only be used once and it must take place in

the rst turn of the game.

Spe Cstct [Rocket Pack Ability]: Models with this

ability have a rocket pack of superior construction. Once per

game, they can re-roll a failed rocket pack test.

Speme Efft (+X): Models with this ability can overcome

great physical adversity to perform actions as though unwounded

By taking this ability the model can change the stats in its lastwound box to its starting stats. For example; if a model starts

with an HT of 3 and an SH of 3, and in the last box on its Arms

Wound Chart the numbers would be 1 and 1, they can be changed

to 3 and 3, just like its starting box. Unlike other abilities with

the +X designation, the one for Supreme Effort represents

the number of wound locations for which it can be used. For

example, a model that takes +2, can alter the stats in its Torso and

Arms locations. A model with +3 could alter Head, Arms, and

Legs.

Tax [Rocket Pack Ability]: Models with this ability have a

slightly more powerful engine in their rocket pack. They can

carry one other friendly model while moving and suffer no loss ofmovement.

udyg lyaty: Models with this ability are devoted to the

person they follow. As long as their hero (or master) is around

they wont run from a ght. Models with this ability never take

a morale check as long as a friendly Grade 3 model is conscious

and still on the board.

use iet: Use Invention is a new ability that allows a

model to use an Invention without having the Inventor archetype

in play.

Zmbe: Models with this ability have no free will and nophysical sensations. As such, they are immune to any test that

requires a BRAINS or GUTS check, also, poisons have no effect

on them. They cannot use weapons of any sort and they cannot

check clues (but they can trigger traps). Zombies can carry items

but only after the item has been given to them by a non-zombie

model.

vtes

Hes nt a Ke: A model with this ability goes out of its way

to not take a life. If an attack would kill an enemy model, the

model with this Virtue must spend Hero Points to shift the attack

(similar to the Dead Shot ability) to another location on the

target. If the model has no Hero Points to spend, then the attack

is reduced to WEAPON STRENGTH (WS) of 2 as the attacker

tries to avoid killing the model.

Ma Dw!: A model with this Virtue will always come to the

aid of a fallen comrade. If a member of the models team that is

within 12 is rendered unconscious or killed, then the hero with

this Virtue must come to its aid if an enemy model is within 6 of

the killed or unconscious model, even if this means leaving close

combat (the atttacker receives a free attack on the model leaving)

The model with this virtue must move into base contact with the

fallen model before it can act normally again.



6/6

Physca Hadcap: This Virtue covers a number of possibilities

and players are encouraged to think up new ones as well, but

remember, these need to be drawbacks since they allow an

archetype to get additional abilities or Hero Points. These could

be anything from an old war wound, model moves at SP -2, to

nearsighted, model cannot see beyond 12. Other examples could

include: Lost an arm, SH at -2, Hideous appearance, friendly

models make GUTS checks at -2.

Sem Backash: The Super Soldier serum used by the Allies

and Axis forces as well as the medical procedures performed

by the Russians, are not without risk. They are experimental

procedures at best and there is always the chance that one could

backre and damage the model. Any time a model makes a

DODGE (DG), BRAWN (BW), or close combat attack, if they

roll a 1, then the models enhanced attributes have gone haywire.

The model takes 1 wound to the location affected. So, if Sgt.

Grant is trying to break down a steel door, he makes a BW test.

If he rolls a 1, then his enhanced muscles have overexerted

themselves and Sgt. Grant crosses 1 box off his Torso. There are

no saves and the roll cannot be negated by Hero Points.

Take Y Best Sht!: A model with this Virtue will never attack

another human model rst. It will not attack until the opposing

model has attacked it or another friendly model within 6 rst.

Non-human models can be attacked normally.

Weakess: A model with a Weakness can be easily damaged by

the item in question. For example, a Vampire has garlic or holy

water and a werewolf has silver. If a model with a Weakness is

hit by the item, then its WEAPON STRENGTH (WS) is tripled

for the attack. For example; a pistol does WS 3, if it was a silver

bullet red at a werewolf with a weakness to silver, it would do

WS 9.

Agace: The model with this Flaw is, of course, extremely

arrogant. This is the type of character who will aunt his evil plan

to the captured hero because he is condent the hero could never

escape. Whenever this models side discovers a clue or retrieves

the prize, all friendly models within 12 of the model with the

Flaw (including the Flawed model) lose their next action as they

all stop to listen to the villain expound on the greatness of his

side/army/race, etc.

Bdst: The effects of the transformation on this model have

blurred the line between man and animal. Whenever this model

is wounded in combat, it must make a BRAINS (BR) test. If it

fails, then it must charge the nearest enemy model. If the nearestenemy model cannot be reached in one turn then the model must

continue to take BR tests until a model can be reached in close

combat. The player can choose to attack a friendly model instead,

but the attack cannot stop until the target model is wounded.

Cwad: This villain is all bravado until the rst time something

bad happens, then its every man for himself. All initial GUTS

(GT) tests are at -2. Follow-up tests are at the normal GT score.

So, if a model is wounded in combat, it would take a GT test at

-2. If the test is failed, then on the subsequent test to recover, the

GT score reverts to normal.

Physca Hadcap: This Flaw covers a number of possibilities

and players are encouraged to think up new ones as well, but

remember, these need to be drawbacks since they allow an

archetype to get additional abilities or Hero Points. These could

be anything from an old war wound, model moves at SP -2, to

nearsighted, model cannot see beyond 12. Other examples could

include: Lost an arm, SH at -2, Hideous appearance, friendly

models make GUTS checks at -2.

Sem Backash: The Super Soldier serum used by the Allies

and Axis forces, as well as the medical procedures performed

by the Russians are not without risk. They are experimental

procedures at best and there is always the chance that one could

backre and damage the model. Any time a model makes a DG,

BRAWN (BW), or close combat attack, if they roll a 1, then the

models enhanced attributes have gone haywire. The model takes

1 wound to the location effected. So, if the Draugr Dietrich is

trying to break down a steel door, he makes a BW test. If he rolls

a 1, then his enhanced muscles have overexerted themselves and

he crosses 1 box off his Torso. There are no saves and the roll

cannot be negated by Hero Points.

Tst isses: This model trusts no one, not even its most loyal

henchmen. If any model other than the model with the Flaw gets

the object goal of the scenario, the two models must move

toward each other by the shortest route, so that the item can be

handed off to the model with the Flaw. If the item is a clue to the

location of the prize then the model who discovered it cannot

move on until the model with this Flaw has moved into base

contact to get the information as well.

Weakess: A model with a Weakness can be easily damaged by

the item in question. For example, a Vampire has garlic or holy

water and a werewolf has silver. If a model with a Weakness is

hit by the item, then its WEAPON STRENGTH (WS) is tripled

for the attack. For example; a pistol does WS 3, if it was a silver

bullet red at a werewolf with a weakness to silver, it would do

WS 9.
