| + | '''Vallant Unit''' | ||
| + | A valiant unit is ready for battle and acts normally. It is determined | ||
| + | to defeat the enemy, even if it means putting their | ||
| + | own lives in jeopardy. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Unit in rout''' | ||
| + | A unit in rout no longer believes victory is possible. | ||
| + | It tries to leave the battlefi eld as quickly as it can. | ||
| + | A unit in rout is subject to the following eff ects: | ||
| + | *The Authority and Attack of its members are equal to 0; | ||
| + | *When the unit is activated it fl ees. It disengages if necessary; | ||
| + | *It cannot use any tactics. | ||
| + | *It cannot shoot or use any mystic eff ects. | ||
| + | However, it recovers its mystic resources as usual. | ||
| + | *It does not count towards the control of objectives. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Immune to Fear''' | ||

| + | '''Commander''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | The companies of the Rag’narok are not led by some chaotic | ||
| + | bunch of Incarnates. Th ey all obey the orders of one individual: | ||
| + | the Commander. He is the Incarnate with the greatest | ||
| + | Authority in the whole company. If there are several possible | ||
| + | Commanders the player may choose which one is the Commander. | ||
| + | Th e Commander gains a special privilege: his unit rolls two | ||
| + | dice to resolve Courage tests. | ||
| + | Th e Authority opposition of the tactical phase is always resolved | ||
| + | using the Authority of the Commander. If his unit is in | ||
| + | rout, his Authority is equal to 0. | ||
| + | When the Commander of a company is eliminated, the | ||
| + | player immediately designates a new Commander (selected in | ||
| + | the same way as the previous one). | ||
