Skirmish

A unit with the sirmish trait that intends to sirmish must enter play in the sirmish formation and is recruited at the increased cost

per model& unless otherwise indicated by the force profile or clan special rule This supersedes the rule pre$entin" a unit from

enterin" play in a special formation

nits with the .irmish trait are not re3uired to sirmish unless so stated in their unit profile they may be recruited at their

standard cost and enter play in a standard formation& but doin" so means that they may not enter a sirmish formation durin" the

battle f a unit must sirmish& it may not enter play in a standard formation but does not pay the additional cost for sirmishin"

(their cost per model accounts for sirmish)

Example (: !he 1corpion/s 1hadow Assassins ha.e the skirmish trait, but also ha.e the limitation &aximum of two units

$one of which may skirmish%: no more than (2 models per skirmish unit, no more than (6 models per unit 3hen

skirmishing, the unit is restricted to (2 models and this unit/s army would ha.e to pay ( additional koku per skirmishing

model, but if fielded in standard formation the unit could contain up to (6 1hadow Assassin models and they would be

recruited at their standard cost

Example 2: 4ni 5odlings must skirmish !hey must enter play in skirmish formation and are limited to (2 models per unit,

including any personality$s%, per skirmish formation rules

A sirmishin" unit does not suffer the 1 to all rolls for bein" in a non7standard formation unless en"a"ed 'hile en"a"ed& a sirmish

unit suffers 1 to all rolls

8odels in sirmish formation may mo$e in any direction and end their mo$ement with any facin"& and they may do so without

main" a 8aneu$er test or losin" mo$ement

'hen models in sirmish formation attempt to en"a"e an enemy unit& the number of sirmishin" models announcin" an en"a"in"

mo$ement must outnumber the enemy unit (includin" base e3ui$alency rules) f the number of sirmishin" models that mae

contact with the tar"eted enemy unit does not outnumber that unit& the sirmish unit must mae an immediate 8orale test with the

results affectin" all models in the unit

Special Skirmish Units

9ote that both Command Groups and .hu"en:a units use the sirmish rules& and do so without the added cost per model Each of

these special units also has additional rules that expand upon the sirmish rules #or instance& althou"h a normal sirmish unit may

not contain more than 12 models& a Command Group may contain twice that number or more& based on its own rules for thenumber of models that may ser$e in the command "roup or special personalities that may be added to the Command Group n

addition& most units must enter play with at least ; models& but a .hu"en:a unit may enter play with a minimum of 2 models and a

maximum of 1< (four shu"en:a = up to three yo:imbo per shu"en:a)

9either a Command Group nor .hu"en:a unit suffers 1 to all rolls for bein" in a non7standard formation& e$en while en"a"ed all

rolls are made normally

'hen a %an"ed Attac is directed a"ainst a Command Group& use the AT9 of the yo:imbo in the unit f there are no yo:imbo

Leadership Packages!eaders& whether personalities or !>s& may only use sills that appear in their printed profile A sill or trait that appears on a troop

profile does not transfer to an !> in the unit

The !> nows how to use all of the troop models/ sills as a troop model for his unit type& but doesn/t now how to use them from a

leadership standpoint t/s harder to use sills as they apply to a whole unit than as they apply to yourself

#or instance& an infantryman nows how to di" an effecti$e foxhole or use scrub brush for co$er 5e does not& necessarily& now how

to train or lead other troops in those uses n this case& he would ha$e the ,6i" foxhole, and ,se co$er, sills as a troop model& but

as an !> he would not ha$e those sills& so his unit "ains no additional benefit from him f& howe$er& he did ha$e ,6i" foxhole, and

,se co$er, sills as a leader (!>)& then his unit could expect to "ain additional ad$anta"e from the presence of those sills& as the !>

would impro$e the unit/s effecti$e use of their existin" sills

Example (: "f an *5 without efense as a skill on his profile leads a unit of troops with efense #, the unit has a total efense

of # $all from the unit% "f the *5 were the units last model standing, he would still ha.e efense # as a member of the unit

Example 2: "f an *5 with efense # as a skill on his profile leads a unit of troops with efense #, the unit would ha.e a total

efense of 6 "f the *5 were the unit/s last model standing, he would still ha.e efense 6 $# for being a member of the unit

while performin" %eactionary #ire durin" a mo$ement phase

6ue to balance concerns& 5i"h .trie durin" close combat is bein" chan"ed 5i"h .trie may be used durin" close combat durin" the

second and subse3uent close combat phases of an en"a"ement it may no lon"er be used durin" the first phase of an en"a"ement

9ote that& while a unit may not mae use of %an Ad$anta"e when performin" 5i"h .trie& it may mae use of $erlap Ad$anta"e

%aga Shugenja Units

8odels in a 9a"a .hu"en:a unit may en"a"e an enemy unit e$en if they do not outnumber the unit n addition& models in a 9a"a

.hu"en:a unit need not mae a 8orale test when en"a"ed by an enemy 9a"a shu"en:a are competent at close combat and do not

fear en"a"ements

Pearl Magic

Thou"h pearl ma"ic deri$es from a different source than %ou"ani ma"ic& it is still ma"ic All spells cast throu"h an elemental pearl

and all effects "enerated by pearls& elemental and otherwise& are considered ma"ical effects As a ma"ical effect& a pearl effect my

be ne"ated throu"h use of the %esist 8a"ic tactical card Elemental spells cast by a 9a"a shu"en:a are also considered spells& and

may be Counterspelled as such 9ote that& for the purposes of Counterspell& 9a"a shu"en:a use their 8a"ic sill when usin"

elemental ma"ic (usually "ranted throu"h their possession of an elemental >earl)

&errain Adantage

9a"a units with the 8ounted trait (such as Aasha/s Typhoon) or which use the lar"e or beast bases (such as %adaast) may not use

the 9a"a Terrain Ad$anta"e rules

'ni Podlingsni >odlin"s may mo$e into an en"a"ement with an enemy unit whether or not they outnumber the unit 'hen a podlin" enters an

en"a"ement as the attacer& resol$e the en"a"ement normally

Rall# &est'hile a %ally test is performed lie a 8orale test& usin" all 8orale test modifiers& it is not a 8orale test Effects based on the success

or failure of 8orale tests are not tri""ered by a %ally test

Ranged AttacksThe ran"ed attac rules re3uire that at least 2B of the unit must be able draw !. to a unit in order to desi"nate that unit as a

tar"et This was intended to say ,at least 2B of the ran"ed attac capable models in the unit,

Thus& a sin"le shu"en:a in a shu"en:a unit& or leadin" a combat unit if appropriate& is still able to cast a ran"ed attac spell& or a

leader with a yumi (assumin" the yumi is pro$ided in the personality/s profile if it does not match his unit/s e3uipment) may use his

ran"ed attac e$en thou"h his unit has no ran"ed attac

'hen a personality purchases a ran"ed attac weapon to match his unit& he "ains the same ran"es and ran"e modifiers as the unit

(see C' 6E pa"e *02 for related information)

'hen a ran"ed attac capable unit is led by a shu"en:a with a ran"ed attac spell or innate& measure ran"es separately (for spell and

unit) and apply appropriate modifiers for the different types of ran"ed attac& mae appropriate Attac rolls and dama"e rolls& and

apply 6ama"e normally as if the ran"ed attac of the unit and the ran"ed attac of the shu"en:a were two separate ran"ed attacs

This applies only to units which "enerate two or more different ran"ed attacs& at least one of which is ma"ical (ability& innate orspell)


5/7

The same is not true of nonma"ical& nonelemental ran"ed attacs f a model in a unit has a different ran"e than the rest of the

unit& calculate ran"e and modifiers separately and mae the Attac rolls& but all 6ama"e dice are combined into a sin"le 6ama"e

total

Rule Priorities

@ecause Clan 'ar applies rules from multiple sources ruleboo& tactical cards& and force profiles there may be instances where

rules seem to conflict 5ere is the hierarchy for rulesD

The ruleboo pro$ides all of the rules which form the foundation of Clan 'ar 5owe$er& the ruleboo does not account forall of the special exceptions pro$ided by spells& force profiles and tactical cards

.pells supersede the ruleboo& allowin" players or their models to "enerate effects not described in the ruleboo #orce profiles supersede the ruleboo and spells& allowin" models to "enerate effects not described in the ruleboo Tactical cards supersede the ruleboo& spells& and force profiles& allowin" players or their models to "enerate effects not

described in the ruleboo

Global rules& those rules which form a blanet statement for how a rule is applied& are always o$erruled by specific rulesthat affect the same rule 9ote that this is true e$en if the result must re$erse the order of rule ascension as described

abo$e

Example (: !he card !est of &ight says both personalities roll a number of amage dice eual to their 3ater 7ing, applying no

modifiers !he part of the description that says applying no modifiers is a global rule 8ote that 9ida isada bears a iso that

states 3hen in.ol.ed in a duel, regardless of the .alue upon which the duel is based, isada adds ;+ to each amage die !his

modifier is added e.en if the duel says to use no modifiers "n this case isada/s specific rule supersedes the !est of &ight global

rule, so isada would add ;+ to each amage die during a !est of &ight
