Description: At the end of the Select Operatives step, select one TECHNO-CURSE for friendly GELLERPOX INFECTED operatives to gain for the battle. Whenever an enemy operative is within your selected TECHNO-CURSE's infection range, that enemy operative is affected by the symptom of the selected TECHNO-CURSE. Each TECHNO-CURSE, its infection range and its symptom is listed below:
**Barrelwarp**
Infection Range: Within 2" of a friendly GELLERPOX INFECTED operative (excluding MUTOID VERMIN), or within 3" of a friendly GELLERPOX INFECTED GLITCHLING operative.
Symptom: As the Gellerpox infects ranged weapons, it warps barrels and corrodes rifling, reducing the effectiveness of such weapons. Subtract 1 from the Atk stat of that enemy operative’s ranged weapons.
**Screaming Rustspikes**
Infection Range: Within control range of a friendly GELLERPOX INFECTED operative (excluding MUTOID VERMIN).
Symptom: Blades equipped by the enemy become strange and twisted, with spikes bursting from sword grips to pierce the flesh of the wielder. Whenever that enemy operative is fighting or retaliating against a friendly GELLERPOX INFECTED operative, if your opponent discards any attack dice as a fail, inflict 1 damage on that enemy operative.
**Viral Vox-static**
Infection Range: Within 3" of a friendly GELLERPOX INFECTED operative (excluding MUTOID VERMIN), or within 4" of a friendly GELLERPOX INFECTED GLITCHLING operative.
Symptom: Discordant static noise and ear-piercing screams blare over vox-channels, disrupting the enemy's communications, breaking their chain of command and sowing fear within their ranks. That enemy operative’s APL stat cannot be added to (remove all positive APL stat changes it has).
