Elemental Affinity (Reference Card Not Available)
Several cards in this set use the rule "Elemental Affinity". Its text is printed on each card that has it:
Elemental Affinity: At the beginning of the game, a model with Elemental Affinity must choose one element from the Elemental Affinity card. That model gains the chosen element's abilities. If the model is a spawning point, all models spawned from that spawning point gain the chosen element's abilities. Paired spawning points must choose the same element.
The Elemental Affinity card lists the elements and their abilities. That card is not included in this transcription, so the individual element abilities are not given here. Each card's element marker (the coloured crystal or shield beside its ability panel) is recorded in its entry below as printed.
Shared Keywords
These keyword definitions are printed on the card backs in this set.
Stealth: Actions targeting a model with Stealth reduce their Range by 3, to a minimum of 1.
Fly: A model with Fly treats difficult terrain, chasm, and structure squares as open squares, and all non-blessing tile effects in those squares are ignored. Structure squares do not block line of sight to or from models with Fly.
Poison: A model suffering Poison reduces its total number of action points by 1, to a minimum of 1.
Immune: Status Effects: Printed on the Elemental Shrine card (see that entry).
