Acts of Faith Divine Guidance, Hand of the Emperor, Light of the Emperor, Spirit of the Martyr and The Passion
A Witch Hunter army that includes certain Sisters of Battle units has a number of Faith Points, which may be expended to attempt Acts of Faith. Certain characters and units are noted as being Faithful and contribute Faith Points to the army's total.
Keey track of the Faith Point total as the game progresses. You might like to use a number of dice with the total Faith Points shown on their upper facings, or use some other form of counter or marker.
Any unit with the Adepta Sororitas special rule, which is joined by or includes a character with the Faithful special rule, is counted as Faithful itself while the character is with the unit. The effects of any Acts of Faith apply to the entire unit.
While an Adepta Sororitas unit is joined by a character without the Faithful special rule, it may not use any Acts of Faith. The only exception is if the unit is assigned a Priest, in which case he is counted towards the unit's size, and will benefit from any successful Acts.
Should the Faithful character be removed as a casualty, the unit remains Faithful until the end of the phase in which the model was removed.
Tests of Faith Each attempt costs one Faith Point.
Roll 2D6 and compare the result to the current size of the unit - whether or not the attempt is successful depends upon the specific Act of Faith being attempted. If the test is failed the Act of Faith does not occur.
A unit may not attempt to use the same Act of Faith more than once per phase; although it may use combinations of several different Acts.
Acts of Faith are unaffected by special rules that work on or against psychic powers, and models using them are not counted as Psykers.
Faithful Independent Characters may use Acts of Faith while operating independently or if they have joined a unit with the Adepta Sororitas special rule - they may not use them if they have joined any other type of unit. While part of a Faithful unit, use the normal rules for attempting Acts of Faith, counting the character towards the total squad size. While attempting to use an Act of Faith while operating independently, a Faithful Independent Character must pass an unmodified Leadership test to do so.
Martyrdom Every time a Faithful character is removed as a casualty, or a Faithful unit loses its last model, the number of Faith Poiints originally contributed by the character or unit is added back to the Faith Point total. These acts of Martyrdom thus increase the total number of Faith Points available to the army as the game goes on. Faithful units or characters that leave the table as a result of falling back do not contribute Faith Points.
