Infantry Team, Observer

This model may deploy using the Reserve rules.

This model improves its Piloting Skill by 1 for Defense Rolls against Direct and Indirect attacks targeting the model if the model has adjacent and intervening cover. This modifier does not apply when the model is using an attack action or reaction, active sensors, an EW action, or making a Comms roll. This modifier does not apply if the model is attacked with a melee attack, or has no cover from the Observer of a Forward Observation (See 14.3). Sensor Lock against a model with the Stealth trait has a -6” modifier to the range of the Sensors.

This model may use the Comms:X trait to count as X Comms rolls successes. If passive ECM reduces the Comms:X trait to zero, this model must roll Comms as normal but may only count successes up to the rating of the trait. This model may Relay.

Attacks targeting this model will miss on a Margin of Success of zero (MOS:0) or less. A Braced model loses the benefit of Agile.

This model may use its Jetpack to make a Powered Boost move instead of a normal Move. A Powered Boost move may only turn once at the start of the move and does not use any movement type advantages or disadvantages. The model may move forwards or backwards in a straight line with both a horizontal and vertical distance equal to the Jetpack trait rating and may not interrupt this move to use an action. Any terrain less than the vertical maximum of the jump rating is ignored and no dangerous terrain tests are made for terrain that the model power boosts over.

Target Designator: A TD may only be used at Combat or Braced speeds and only if the target model does not have Full Cover. A Forward Observation by a model using a Target Designator trait may use the TD trait to activate the Guided trait on weapons chained to the Forward Observation. The TD trait adds a +XD6 modifier to a Guided attack. A Target Designator allows the target the terrain Cover modifier it would have against a direct attack from the observing model.
