Spire Tyrants

Released: January 2020. Refreshed August 2022.

The Spire Tyrants are the champions of the blood pits of the Varanspire, fell-handed gladiators who exult in the goriest kills. They roam the Mortal Realms as deadly packs, testing their blades against all they encounter.

Battle Trait

Optional Rule

Battle Traits are optional rules that add additional flavour to a warband. All fighters must share this runemark to be eligible.

There are also Battle Traits for each Grand Alliance.

Trait Runemark	Trait
Spire Tyrants	Entertain Me!: Once per battle round, a friendly fighter with this battle trait within 1” of one or more enemy fighters can pick one of those enemy fighter to duel. When they do so, each time that friendly fighter makes an attack action that targets that enemy fighter, you can change the Strength characteristic of that attack action to equal the Toughness characteristic of that enemy fighter.

Reaction

Runemark	Reaction
	Gladiatorial Display: A fighter can make this reaction after they are targeted by a melee attack action but before the hit rolls are made. If none of the hit rolls from that attack action result in a critical hit, allocate 4 damage points to the attacking fighter.

Abilities
