Handicap Acolyte Rules
These rules use the nine grey Neutral Acolytes included in this box.
Problem – Player(s) Too Strong
Take one Acolyte Cultist from the handicapped Faction and put it back in the box; it will not be used in this game. Replace it with that Faction's gray Acolyte, placing it with the remaining five Cultists at that Faction's starting Gate.
If the gray Cultist is ever sent to the unit pool for any reason, instead immediately discard it into the game box. In other words, that player is now restricted to a maximum of 5 Cultists for the remainder of the game. Thus, he now has an interesting weak spot for his enemies to target.
Of course, there are ways he can try to avoid his fate. Two obvious ones are Sleeper's Cursed Slumber, which he can use to keep his gray Cultist safe, and Father Dagon's ability to permanently sacrifice cultists – sack the gray one first! However, each requires planning and foresight, making it all part and parcel of this correctional method. Have fun with it!
Problem – Player(s) Too Weak
If a player is new to the game or otherwise needs a bump up, simply add the gray acolyte to his pool. He now has a pool of 7 acolytes from which to recruit. This extra potential should help him a lot.
Loyalty Card: Worms of Ghroth
Card title as printed: "Worms of Ghroth" with a superscript "(6)" beside it. The meaning of the "(6)" is not explained on the card and is reproduced as printed.
Pay 2 Doom and 2 Power to take this Loyalty Card. Then place one Worm of Ghroth at your Controlled Gate.
Cost: You cannot Summon a Worm normally. However, each time a Worm is Killed or Eliminated, place 2 Worms in any Area(s) of your choice (you don't have to pay any Power).
Combat: 0
Eradication (Gather Power Phase): At the end of the Gather Power Phase, roll a die. If your roll is equal to or less than the number of Worms of Ghroth in play, lose that much Power and gain 1 Elder Sign.
Loyalty Card: Eradicators
Not transcribed. The Eradicators loyalty card is part of this stretch-goal box but was not available in the source material: the official Petersen Games image is not in the Wayback Machine snapshots checked, and the only copy found is a fan-wiki image too small to read reliably. The card's rules are therefore missing from this file and must be added from a legible copy of the official card before this entry is complete.
