Reading the Fighter Cards
Each fighter has a front card and an Inspired card (the gold card), which replaces the front card when the fighter becomes Inspired. The Move, Defence, Wounds and Bounty values are printed down the left edge of each card.
- Defence is written as a number of defence dice followed by the face to roll: shield or hook.
- Attack actions are printed along the bottom of each card. Each line gives the attack type (melee, shown by the crossed-weapons icon, or ranged, shown by the bow icon), then Range, Dice (a number and a face) and Damage.
- Dice faces are hammer or crossed-blades, as printed.
- Keywords on an attack line are named where the sheets name the same glyph elsewhere (Cleave, Ensnare, Grievous, Volley). A critical symbol (a burst with an exclamation mark) placed before a keyword makes it a Critical weapon ability, written here as "Critical" followed by the keyword.
- Abilities are listed in the order printed on each sheet, left column first. The sheets do not say which abilities are warband-wide and which belong to one fighter, so no such split is made here.
- Runemarks in the right-hand column are written as words: Leader (crown), Minion (sun and chains), Schemer (horned skull), Lurker (stalagmite), Flying (winged blade). The warband symbol at the top right is not a runemark and is not listed.
