Grey Seer

A Wizard with the ‘Lore of the Horned Rat’ special rule may discard one of their randomly generated spells as normal. When they do so, they may select instead either the signature spell of their chosen Lore of Magic, or one of the spells listed below: • Skitterleap • Warp Lightning • Cloud Of Corruption

Any attack made or hit caused by a model with this special rule, or made using a weapon with this special rule, is a ‘Magical’ attack.

Note that all spells are considered to have this special rule, as are any hits caused by magic items.

The Casting roll of any enemy spell (including Bound Spells) that targets a unit that includes one or more models with this special rule suffers a modifier, as shown in brackets after the name of this special rule (-X).

Note that this special rule is not cumulative. If two or more models in a unit have this special rule, use the highest modifier.

Models with this special rule have a +1 modifier to the result of any Flee roll they make.

Unless they are engaged in a challenge, a character with this special rule that has joined a unit that has a Unit Strength of 10 or more may voluntarily ‘retire’ to the rear of the unit at any time, moving through the ranks and taking up a position away from the combat. Should they do so, they are no longer within the fighting rank and cannot make any attacks or have attacks directed against them. However, the unit may still use this character’s Leadership.

Unless it is fleeing, a Warband gains a positive (+) modifier to its Leadership characteristic equal to its current Rank Bonus, up to a maximum of Leadership 10. However, a Warband cannot use this modifier to its Leadership should it ever choose to make a Restraint test. In addition, if the majority of the models in a unit have this special rule, it may re-roll its Charge roll.

Note that unless a character also has this special rule, their Leadership cannot be modified by this special rule. A Warband can use either its own modified Leadership, the modified Leadership of a Warband character, or the unmodified Leadership of a non-Warband character, whichever is the higher.

A hand weapon carried by a model with this special rule has the Magical Attacks special rule and an Armour Piercing characteristic of -1.

Note that this special rule only applies to a single, ordinary hand weapon. If the model is using two hand weapons or any other sort of weapon, this special rule ceases to apply.
