Injury And Death

The universe is a dangerous place. For each Acolyte or Follower incapacitated during a scenario, make a Casualty Test and, as necessary, a Battle Scar and Permanent Injury test.

Unless the Casualty result is a natural 6, subtract 1 from the result for each Battle Scar or Permanent Injury that operative already has, then consult the tables opposite. If the result corresponds to a Battle Scar or Permanent Injury that operative already has, re-roll until a new Battle Scar or Permanent Injury is determined.

If a Battle Scar test result is Slain for a Follower, remove that operative from your Retinue.

If a Permanent Injury test result is Slain for an Acolyte, you may create a new Acolyte or promote an existing Follower, carrying their characteristics and skills over to Level 0 on the Acolyte progression table.

RECOVERY TEST

After each scenario, make a Recovery test for each operative with at least one pre-existing Battle Scar.

For Acolytes, on a 4+ remove one pre-existing Battle Scar of your choice. For Followers, add 1 to your result for each cumulative scenario in which that operative was not deployed, and on a 5+ remove one pre-existing Battle Scar of your choice.

Add an additional 1 to your result when rolling after the final scenario of a multi-scenario adventure.
