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
Ydrilan Riverblades	The River Winds Its Way: Add 1 to the Move characteristic of friendly fighters with this battle trait that start a move action within 1” of a terrain feature and on the battlefield floor until the end of that activation.

Reaction

Runemark	Reaction
	Lethal Gyre: A fighter can make this reaction after they are targeted by a melee attack action but before the hit rolls are made. For each hit roll of 1 from that attack action, allocate 3 damage points to the attacking fighter, or if this fighter has the Agile () runemark, allocate 3 damage points to each enemy fighter within 1" instead.

Abiltiies
