TACTICAL ACTIONS
Movement actions have already been covered, but the following
alterations apply to the listed actions:
FREE ACTIONS
FALL PRONE: This action represents 1 square of movement. As
previously stated, characters can crawl at half their normal movement
(round down) with this action, to a minimum of 1 square.
STAND UP: Standing up from prone requires 2 squares of movement.

If this action is taken within an enemy model’s Retaliation Zone, an
opposed Acrobatics, Athletics, or Close Combat test is required to
avoid a potential Retaliate Response Action.
RESPONSE ACTIONS

this may initiate Retaliate Response Actions from nearby enemies. In

TORRENT
The wielder of a weapon with the Torrent quality must nominate
either a creature or square within the weapon’s maximum range to
act as the target. The attack is then dealt with in the same manner
as a weapon with the Blast [Close] quality, with one addition: any
creature who is caught in the line of effect between the wielder and
the target is also subjected to the weapon’s Shrapnel Rating, plus
any other qualities of the weapon.
The line of effect for a Torrent weapon is taken as straight line drawn
from the corners closest to each other on both the wielder’s and the
target’s square. Any square that this line bisects is considered to be
in the line of effect. Momentum may be spent to affect creatures

•• Puny Human! Should a Praetorian Behemoth successfully use
its Grasping ability on a victim (or vehicle), it may spend two
Dark Symmetry points to then either throw them or use them
as a melee weapon. This makeshift “weapon” if thrown, has
Range M, Damage 2+6; and the Munition, Unwieldy, and Burst
(Close) qualities. It inflicts 3+5 damage with the Dreadful and
Stun qualities if used as a melee weapon. In both cases, the
victim also suffers any damage inflicted upon the target.
•• Rage: By spending one or more Dark Symmetry Points,
the Behemoth enters a terrible rage. While in this state, the
Praetorian Behemoth gains two additional momentum on a
successful melee attack, but it cannot fire any ranged weapon it
possesses (though it may still make improvised ranged attacks).
This rage lasts for a number of rounds equal to the number of
Dark Symmetry points spent.
•• Thunderous Stomp: By spending one Dark Symmetry point,
the Behemoth slams its’ foot into the ground. Anyone within
Reach must make a Daunting (D2) Athletics test or suffer the
Staggered condition.
•• Wringing Rend: Should a Praetorian Behemoth successfully
use its Grasping ability upon an individual with its claws, it may
spend three Dark Symmetry points to try and pull the target
apart. The victim suffers 2+5 damage with the Vile quality
that ignores Soak. The target must also succeed at a Resistance
test with a difficulty equal to the number of Dark Symmetry icons
rolled or be torn into two pieces, killing them instantly. This also
inflicts one point of Dread on all opponents.
