SPECIAL CHARACTERS
This is a list of special characters unique to the world of Ice and Fire for use in all DBX based games.
Warrior Generals – represent leaders who depend on personal fighting skill even to the determent of army command.
They have the following additional properties:
They Pursue like a Knight Element.
They get a +2 General Tactical Factor in Close Combat (rather than the normal +1).
If in front edge Close Combat contact, their army counts as having no General (so all PIP costs are +1).
Examples: Robert Baratheon (young) as Hero; Jamie Lannister (2 hands) as Hero; Prince Oberyn (Red Viper) as Hero; Ser Gregor Clegane (the Mountain) as Hero; Victarion Greyjoy as Blade(F);
Calculating Generals– meticulous planners if uninspiring field commanders.
They have the following additional properties:
They always receive a base of 4 PIPs, they still roll a PIP die at the start of the Bound but in their case a 1 = -1 PIP; a 6 = +1 PIP while 2-5 have no effect. (They can use "6" PIP rolls to bring back Heroes and Mages just as normal Generals.)
They do not grant a +1 Tactical Factor for being General.
They do not Pursue even if a troop type that normally does Pursue.
Examples: Stannis Baratheon as Knight; Tywin Lannister as Knight
Trickster Generals – masters of misdirection and clever ploys and quite willing to use base treachery.
They have the following proprieties:
They may force opponents to re-roll the PIP roll once per bound (they and their opponent's are stuck with the second result – sometimes they outsmart themselves).
They do not grant a +1 Tactical Factor for being General.
Examples: Tyrone Lannister as Knight(F) with Mountain Clansmen otherwise as Knight; Roose Bolton as Knight
Inspiring General – inspirational leaders whose armies will follow them into hell. Their loss though spells doom for their cause.
They have the following properties:
In Close Combat they give their +1 General Tactical Factor to adjacent elements in side edge and front corner to corner contact.
If lost their army is, at the end of that Bound, considered defeated.
Examples: Robb Stark as Hero; Daenerys Taragaryen as Aerial Hero if riding Dragon otherwise as Cav(F); Lady Stoneheart as Warband.
Other (non-General) Characters:
Bodyguards – may be added to any Element with a Character or General at a cost of 1 AP; they have the following properties:
They can convert any Destroyed result into a Recoil result (if the protected Element cannot Recoil it is still Destroyed). The Bodyguard is, however, expended in either case.
Examples: Any dire wolf, Bronn, most King's/Queen's Guard.
Master Diplomat – may be added to any Element except Hordes or placed in Camp or Stronghold at a cost of 1 AP; they have the following properties:
