Destiny

Destiny

Destiny represents a Hero’s power to shape fate and turn the tide in pivotal moments. It is a limited resource that can be spent to re-roll dice or perform special actions, as described below.

Using Destiny for Re-Rolls

• Destiny may be spent to re-roll any dice, unless otherwise restricted by specific rules.

• You may spend multiple points of Destiny at once to re-roll multiple dice in a single action.

• All dice to be re-rolled must be declared before any re-rolls are made.

Example: A unit rolls 2 dice in combat and did not receive favorable results. The controlling player may procalim that they will spend 2 Destiny to re-roll both dice at once.

• A die that has been re-rolled cannot be re-rolled again, even if additional Destiny is available.

Destiny in Conflict (Opposing Players)

• If both players wish to spend Destiny during the same resolution:

  • The player with priority resolves their Destiny re-rolls first.

  • The non-priority player may then choose to use Destiny after seeing the new result.

Limits on Destiny Use

Destiny can be used to re-roll any die unless:

• The roll is a Faith/Affinity Resistance Roll (see next section) – Destiny cannot re-roll these, but instead adds bonuses to the roll.

• The roll is the Priority Roll at the start of the round – Destiny cannot affect this unless specifically permitted by a Hero’s ability.

Special Actions & Abilities

There are default Destiny actions that all heroes have access to and some units or factions will have unique special actions that require Destiny to activate.

• These actions are detailed here and in the unit's special rules or faction rules.

• The action will specify:

  • How much Destiny must be spent.

  • What effect it creates.

  • Which phase the action can be used in.

Example: A Hero may spend 1 Destiny during the Movement Phase to reposition a friendly unit within 6".

Default Destiny Actions:

The following abilities are available to all heroes in Dwethia Skirmish:

• Surge: In the movement phase, a unit may spend 1 Destiny at any time to move themself and any units within coherency and range 3 out of priority order, perhaps attempting to catch a some models  attempting to flee. All units moved this way must end their move within coherency of the unit who used this ability. If an opposing unit activates a surge action in response, then both players will wager destiny until one side is higher, otherwise roll a1d6 on a 4+ the unit without priority wins.

• Heroic Resolve: At any time a unit may spend 1 Destiny at any time to roll 1d6, on a 4+ they ignore a wound. They may continue to spend Destiny this way to ignore the same wound until they run out of Destiny.

• Together as One!: At any time a unit may spend 1 Destiny to pull all allied models within 3" of him into range 1-3. This represents a hero calling for his allies to group up, perhaps as a shield wall against oncoming arrows.
