Users of this CC Special Skill can increase the value of their Wounds Attribute whenever they inflict Damage during Close Combat.

PROTHEION

AUTOMATIC SKILL

CC Special Skill, Optional

REQUIREMENTS

In the Active or Reactive Turn, the Trooper must reach or be in Silhouette contact with the target, and declare a CC Attack.
The target must have the Wounds Attribute.

EFFECTS

For each Wound inflicted upon the target of the CC Attack, the user of Protheion will recover 1 Wounds point. If the user hasn't lost any Wounds points, they will increase their Wounds Attribute by 1.
The Wounds Attribute cannot be more than two higher than its original value.
If the user's Wounds Attribute is higher than its original value, the player must place a Power-Up, or Power-Up 2 Token to indicate the current value of the Trooper's Wounds Attribute.

Examples

Example 1

A Caliban enters Close Combat against a Fusilier, who declares CC Attack as their ARO. The Caliban wins the fight and the Fusilier fails their Saving Roll, thus becoming Unconscious. When the Order concludes, the Caliban places a Power-Up 1 Token besides himself, showing that his Wounds Attribute is now 2.

During the next Order, the Caliban declares a CC Attack against the Unconscious Fusilier, performing a Coup de Grâce so that the target automatically passes from Unconscious to Dead State, without performing a Saving Roll. At the end of the Order, the Caliban places a Power-Up 2 Token besides himself, showing that his Wounds Attribute is now 3.

Example 2

Sheskiin, who has lost one point of her Wounds Attribute during a previous engagement, uses her DA CC Weapon to CC Attack an Omega, who still has a Wounds Attribute of 2. Sheskiin wins the Roll, forcing the Omega to perform 2 Saving Rolls due to her DA CC Weapon. The Omega fails both Saving Rolls, loses 2 points to his Wounds Attribute and becomes Unconscious. Thanks to her Protheion Special Skill, Sheskiin recovers the previously lost Wounds point and gains an extra one, placing a Power-Up 1 Token next to her. If, during a later Order, she performed a Coup de Grâce against the Omega, she would gain another extra Wound, placing a Power-Up 2 Token besides herself. Sheskiin would have a Wounds Attribute of 4 and the Omega would be removed from the game table.

N4 FAQ

Version: 1.1.1, Dec 2021

Q: What happens if the target of a Protheion user fails more Saving Rolls than are needed for it to enter Dead State? For example if an Unconscious target fails two or more Saving Rolls.

A: Any additional failed Saving Rolls will have no effect, and will not give the Protheion user any Wounds.

N4 FAQ

Version: 1.3, Nov 2022

Q: What happens if a Trooper loses and gains points of W/STR or has States inflicted and cancelled simultaneously? For example, if an Engineer cancels a Trooper's IMM-A State at the same time as the Trooper is hit by a Riotstopper.

A: Apply the positive effect to the Trooper first. Then apply the negative effect. For example, make the Engineer's WIP Roll to cancel the Trooper's IMM-A State, then make the PH-6 Saving Roll against the Riotstopper's PARA ammunition. This can result in the original IMM-A State being cancelled and a new State being inflicted.
