Wyrd Games has yet another Above the Law advanced pursuit preview and the latest issue of Wyrd Chronicles. Let’s take a look!
Wyrd Games gave us a preview of the Soulstone Aficionado, a new Advanced Pursuit found in Above the Law. Above the Law is the upcoming Through the Breach Guild supplement. Aficionados increase the range at which their Soulstones gain charges from dying characters. At the completion of each step of their advanced pursuit, one of their allies gives them a raw, uncut soulstone. A more skilled Aficionado can grant Fast to anyone they heal with a Soulstone to that old staple of 1e Malifaux, draining the souls of everyone around them to replenish an uncharged Soulstone. At the peak of their strength, they can draw cards from the Fate Deck by spending soulstone charges.
Soulstone Aficionado
The Soulstone Aficionado is an advanced pursuit from Above the Lawthat focuses on expanding the use of Soulstones. Aficionados increase the range at which their Soulstones gain charges from dying characters, and each time they complete a step of the advanced pursuit, one of their allies gives them a raw, uncut Soulstone. The more charming the character is, the higher the Soulstone’s Lade.
As an Aficionado becomes more skilled, they becomes capable of increasingly impressive Soulstone-related feats, such as granting Fast to anyone they heal with a Soulstone to that old staple of 1e Malifaux, draining the souls of everyone around them to replenish an uncharged Soulstone. At the peak of their power, Soulstone Aficionados can actually spend a Soulstone’s charges to draw cards from the Fate Deck into their hand, allowing them to mold and shape fate in ways hitherto unseen in Through the Breach.
After seeing a Soulstone Aficionado in action, it’s easy to see why the Guild is so interested in controlling the world’s supply of Soulstones.
