The Dark Prince
To follow the Dark Prince is to pursue perfection, sensation, and excess without restraint. Speed becomes obsession, grace becomes arrogance, and every movement is a performance that must never falter.
Gameplay Changes
- The Dark Prince now uses the new Favour of the Gods system based around speed, movement, and excess.
- Gang Drawback has expanded:
- fighters now suffer a Flesh Wound whenever they fail an Initiative check
- falling still causes double distance for fall damage
- Added gang mechanic Pushed to Excess:
- after a voluntary Move, Charge, or Leap, fighters may repeatedly attempt extra 1" moves
- each extra move becomes progressively more dangerous
- failing causes a Flesh Wound and immediately ends the activation
- succeeding 5 times in a single action grants +3 Movement and +3 Attacks for the rest of the battle
- The Gods’ Favour now works as follows:
- Angered: the gang must activate in strict order:
- Leader → Champions → Gangers → Juves → everyone else
- Watching: all fighters gain Clamber and +D6" to Leap
- Pleased: same as Watching, plus once per round two Ready fighters may be activated one after the other
- Angered: the gang must activate in strict order:
- Slaangors are now recruited while the gods are Watching or Pleased.
- Dark Bargain has changed:
- if the pact is broken, the fighter is now controlled by an opponent for the rest of the battle
- in multiplayer, control is randomly determined each round
Patron Bonus
Leader Bonus: +2 Movement
Spawn Bonus: When this fighter makes a Move, roll 2D6 and select the highest.
Gang Drawback – Fatal Excess:
If a fighter fails an Initiative check, they immediately suffer a Flesh Wound.
Additionally, when a fighter suffers fall damage, double the distance fallen when determining damage.
Perfection demanded. Failure punished.
Pushed to Excess
Whenever a fighter makes a voluntary Move, Charge, or Leap action, after resolving that movement, if they are still Standing and Active, they may attempt to move an additional 1".
To do so, roll a D6:
- 1st attempt: fails on a 1
- 2nd attempt: fails on a 1-2
- 3rd attempt: fails on a 1-3
- 4th attempt: fails on a 1-4
- 5th attempt: fails on a 1-5
If failed:
- The fighter immediately suffers a Flesh Wound
- Their activation immediately ends
If successful:
- The fighter moves an additional 1" and may attempt again
If a fighter successfully makes 5 additional moves in a single action, they are overwhelmed by perfection:
- Immediately increase their Movement and Attacks by 3 for the remainder of the battle
