Special Abilities
For the Greater Good! (Fire): When an enemy declares a charge against a T’au ally within 12m of you, you may spend a Reload to make a shooting attack against the charging enemy, adding +4 to the DN and resolving the attack before the enemy moves. This ability may only be used once per round.
Ta'lissera Bonding Ritual: Any T’au with this rule are part of a bonded team (the GM should determine which T’au are part of which team for roleplaying purposes). Whenever a T’au with this ability attempts a Resolve or Conviction test, and rolls a 6 on their Wrath die, then the test is automatically successful, regardless of how many icons were rolled.
(Ruin) (Mob) Turret Support: A mob of Fire Warriors which did not move may spend 1 Ruin to have a DS8 Tactical Support Turret air-dropped on their position. The turret lands at the end of their turn but may not act until the mob’s next turn.
