Palmu Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Per the thread title, I'm curious about what things in the game are abilities? Or is it a catch-all term for everything like special rules, stratagems, warlord traits or psychic powers, as examples? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slasher956 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Abilities are rules that apply to a model and our found on the models data sheet (normally between the weapon stats and the keyword block in the section labled: Abilities). There may be abilities that can be granted via other means such as WLT or powers... EDIT - abilities also include the faction rules (ie space marine chapter tactics, SoB <order> convictions) and the troops objective secured. So Abilities are anything that states its an ability.

Palmu Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 Thanks for the answer, though the rules are still a bit unclear, since a lot of things don't state at all that they're an ability, and the rulebook occasionally refers to things as something other than an ability, such as a 'rule'. As a more concrete example, the Canticle of Hate litany grants +2" to a Charge, but states that this does not stack with other abilities that do the same. Is a Stratagem that grants +1" Charge an ability, and is a Warlord Trait that grants +1" Charge an ability? Morticon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acebaur Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 To add another example. Does the chaplain Litany that extends the range of aura abilities also extend the range of something like the relic that has a 3" bubble of 4++? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
