Wraiths stat cards

 

Wraiths are elusive and capable of slipping away with ease. When marching or shifting, they can ignore any number of terrain and units. After such a movement, they can then reform before enemy units have a chance to defend themselves. During battle, Wraiths can move early or late in a round, with initiatives falling between 3 and 7. The key to their evil strength that makes them a terror on the field is a unique melee modifier on their command tool that can be combined with a melee or reform on their action dial. For example, if they are caught in a flank, they can quickly reform and strike back. When making a melee attack, they can relentlessly attack after attack.

Command Tool

Wraiths can torment enemy units and destroy morale with bone-chilling wails; even luring sentries away from their posts with furtive movements. With their unique upgrade, Undying Hate, they can target an enemy to torment before the battle even begins. The enemy is afflicted with the Mark of Vengeance condition. The Wraiths will pursue their marked prey tirelessly. When in combat with the marked target, the Mark of Vengeance condition allows the Wraiths to replace on of their dice with a white die to greatly increase the potency of their attacks.
