The Architect of Fate
The Architect of Fate weaves destiny as a tapestry of lies, chance, and inevitability. Those who serve are granted glimpses of the future - but never the whole truth.
Gameplay Changes
- The Architect of Fate now uses the new Favour of the Gods system based around Fate Dice.
- Leader Bonus changed:
- previously gained a temporary random psychic power each battle
- now becomes an Unsanctioned Psyker and learns a power as normal
- Fate Dice have been reworked:
- Angered: your opponent decides when your Fate Die is used
- Watching: Fate Dice work normally
- Pleased: roll 2 Fate Dice each round and choose which one to keep
- Gang Drawback has changed significantly:
- fighters now become subject to the Insane condition if:
- a Wyrd Power fails
- a ranged attack is declared but the target is out of range
- a Charge fails to bring the fighter into Engagement
- this ignores any immunity to Insanity
- fighters now become subject to the Insane condition if:
- Tzaangors are now recruited while the gods are Watching or Pleased.
- Dark Bargain has changed:
- if the pact is broken, the fighter must re-roll all successful rolls for the rest of the battle
Patron Bonus
Leader Bonus: Becomes an Unsanctioned Psyker and learns a Psychic Power as normal.
Spawn Bonus: 4+ Save
Gang Drawback – Best Laid Plans:
Fighters become subject to the Insane condition if any of the following occur during their activation (ignoring any immunities):
- A Wyrd Power fails to manifest (failed Willpower test, is dispelled, or the target is out of range)
- A ranged attack is declared but cannot be resolved because the target is out of range
- A Charge action fails to bring the fighter into Engagement with the target
Every plan unravels eventually.
Fate Dice
At the start of each round, before rolling for Priority, roll 1D6 and set it aside as your Fate Die.
At any point during that round, before you make a roll, you may replace one dice with the Fate Die. The Fate Die is then discarded.
If unused, the Fate Die is discarded at the end of the round.
The Gods’ Favour
The Gods Are Angered:
Your opponent chooses when your Fate Die is used.
- In multiplayer battles, randomly determine which opponent controls the Fate Die each round.
The Gods Are Watching:
You may use your Fate Die once per round as normal.
The Gods Are Pleased:
At the start of each round, roll 2 Fate Dice and choose one to use as your Fate Die for that round.
