DivinaSion 2013 - Information and Rules

1. Army restrictions
Rules changes:
• Two characters per unit (owner's choice) will get "look out sir" versus the following spells that automatically kill models or automatically remove an entire regiment: Dwellers Below, Final Transmutation, Dreaded 13th. Normal requirements for lookout sir apply.
• All BSBs can take all the equipment, their unit type has access to as if they weren't BSBs.

General Restrictions:
• No Special or Named Characters.
• Army used can be any of the currently published GW Army books. Forge World based army lists & units may not be used on the event, except for Chaos Dwarves.
• An army may have up to 4 war machines and/or shooting template weapons. War machines that use a template count as a single choice in this regard. All template weapons (from magic items, abilities, etc.) count, except for spells. Bolt throwers count as ½ a war machine(round up).
• Any item that auto-dispels a spell counts as generating 1 dispel dice each magic phase.
• Folding Fortress is not allowed.
• Units cannot be more than 40 models nor 450 points (including all command, upgrades, magic items/banners). This restriction applies during the creation of the roster - unit size/cost may be increased during the game (for example - by joining characters to the unit). This restriction does not apply to characters.

Magic Restrictions:
• No duplicate non-signature spells (not including bound spells) and max 2 Spirit Leech (Signature spells are spells you can swap other spells to).
• An army may use up to maximum 12 power dice during each phase.
• Player can use maximum 5 power dice to cast a spell. For spells from Lore of Death/Lore of Shadow/Lore of Hashut, this max is lowered to 4 power dice.
• Apart from Winds of magic, an army may only use 2 power/dispel dice per magic phase. After an army generates the limit all the other extra dice are discarded. This includes channeled power dice/dispel dice.
• You may have units/abilities that actually would generate more than 2 extra dice, but any excess dice are lost.
• Some magic items/abilities count as generating dice toward this limit. “Count as” items/abilities may never exceed a cumulative 2 power dice/dispel dice per phase. This means that a player who already spent his limit power dice limit, can't take more items which “count as adding power dice” or add power dice from channeling during game (same for dispel dice).
• All modifiers are applied from the army list and will not change during the game.

Detailed description
Apart from Winds of magic, an army may only use 2 power dice/dispel dice per magic phase (unless army restrictions specify otherwise). After an army generates the limit all the other extra dice are discarded. This includes channeled power dice/dispel dice.

If a dice is stolen from the opponent’s pool, but your army has already generated two extra dice, the dice is removed from the opponent’s pool and then discarded.

Some special items and abilities DECREASE the limit of power or dispel dice you can add to the pool. We refer to those as “count as” items. What this means is that, if your roster includes one “counts as 1 Power Dice (PD)” item, your army can only add 1 power dice (instead of the usual 2 dice) to the pool in each of your own magic phases of the entire game (regardless of whether the item is destroyed or used up).
Please note that you cannot have a combination of items that would decrease the limit of extra power or dispel dice to below zero.

Race specific army composition:
Army sizes, additional power dice/dispel dice and VP reduction are represented as follows:
Army (Point size, additional power dice/dispel dice, VP reduction, if any (excluding bonus points for banners, general, etc.))

Some choices are limited to a maximum number. If there is a “,” between the unit names it means you can have a maximum of each of these units corresponding to the number. If there is a “/” it means that you can have a maximum of these units combined(or choice for a single model), corresponding to the number. Sometimes there will be an 0-1 listed after a unit's name, that means that this unit can only be picked once.

For example a Beastmen army can have 4 units of Tuskgor Chariots and 4 units of Ungor Raiders. While an Ogre army can have a maximum of 2 out of these 4, Slaugther master/Iron blaster 0-1/Standard of Discipline/Crown of Command. So you could have 2 Slaugther masters, but no of the other picks, or a Slaugther master and either an Iron blaster, the Standard of Discipline or the Crown of Command. The 0-1 after the Iron blaster, means it can only be pick once, so you are not allowed 2 Iron blasters.

3. Scoring

Victory points scored as per the rulebook, with the exceptions that:
- units that are at 25% or less of their original models yield 50% VP's to the opponent (characters, monsters and handlers, war machines and single models are unaffected).
-units that are fleeing at the end of the battle yield 50% VP's to the opponent.

In both cases, bonuses (for generals, banners, etc.) are not counted towards the 50%. Units that are both: fleeing and at/below ¼ strength still only yiled 50% VP’s.

0-20 Victory-Points per game
Victory points to Battle points per game:

0-150 Victory-Points difference - 10-10
151-300 - 11-9
301-450 - 12-8
451-600 - 13-7

4. Scenarios

All scenarios are Battleline.

5. Line of Sight

Next "Simple LoS" will be used:

Terrain pieces are divided into ones that:
- Block LoS: Hills, Buildings and impassable terrain.
- Don't block LoS: all other terrain.

Unit is considered to be in hard cover when:
- majority of unit's footprint is obscured from shooter's Line of Sight by an interfering unit or a LoS blocking terrain, as described on page 41 BRB
- unit is garrisoning a Building, as described on page 127 BRB
- unit is defending an obstacle, as described on page 122 BRB
- majority of unit's footprint is in Ruins

Unit is considered to be in soft cover when:
- your models shoot through or into woods, as described on page 119 BRB

Models shooting from hills or buildings don't get the hard cover penalty for shooting through interfering units, unless interfering unit is also on hill.

Units with majority of its footprint on hill do not receive hard cover for being shot at through interfering units, unless interfering unit is also on hill.

Large Targets can't claim cover for obstacles, ruins and interfering units.


Règlement en français:


Changement de règles :
-Les personnages gagnent « Attention Messire » contre les sorts suivants tuant automatiquement ou retirant automatiquement du jeu les régiments entiers : Etres du Dessous, Ultime Transmutation, Treizième sort. Les règles habituelles d’Attention Messire s’appliquent.
- Toutes les GB peuvent prendre l'équipement non-magique comme un personnage normal.

Restrictions générales:
-2400 points
-Pas de personnages spéciaux ou nommés.
-Les armées doivent être sélectionnées dans les livres actuels publiés par GW, à l'exception des Nains du Chaos, qui utilisent le livre de Forge World.
Maximum 4 machines de guerre et armes à gabarits. Les machines utilisant un gabarit comptent comme un seul choix dans cette limitation. Tous les objets magiques ou les capacités spéciales (mais pas les sorts) utilisant un gabarit comptent dans cette limitation. Les balistes comptent comme un demi choix (arrondi au supérieur).
Les unités (sauf les personnages) ne peuvent dépasser 40 figurines ou 450 points (incluant les états-majors, les options, les onjets et bannières magiques). La taille de l’unité peut, durant la partie, dépasser cette limite, par exemple si un personnage la rejoint.

Restrictions Magie:

-En dehors des Vents de Magie, une armée ne peut générer que 2 DP/DD additionnels par phase. Les dés générés en plus sont perdus. La Canalisation est incluse dans cette limitation.
-Vous pouvez avoir des capacités ou des objets générant des dés supplémentaires, mais tout dé en plus est perdu.
-Certaines capacités/objets magiques « comptent comme » générant des dés dans cette limitation. Voir la liste plus bas. Les objets « comptent comme » ne peuvent pas dépasser 2 DP/DD cumulés par phase. Ainsi un joueur qui a déjà atteint la limite DP/DD ne peut pas prendre d’objet « compte comme » en plus ou ajouter des dés par Canalisation.
-5 DP au maximum pour tenter de lancer un sort. Pour les domaines de la Mort et de l’Ombre et d'Hashut, ce maximum est de 4 dés.
-Un maximum de 12 DP peuvent être utilisés par phase de magie.
-Tous les modificateurs apparaissant sur la liste s’appliquent durant toute la partie

Détails:

En dehors des vents de magie, une armée ne peut utiliser que 2 DP / DD par phase de magie (sauf si la restriction de l'armée indique contraire). Après qu’une armée a atteint la limite, tous les autres dés supplémentaires sont ignorés. Ceci inclut les DP/DD Canalisés.
Si un dé est volé dans la réserve de l'adversaire, mais que votre armée a déjà généré deux dés supplémentaires, le dé est simplement retiré et perdu.
Certains objets spéciaux et des capacités peuvent DIMINUER la limite de DP ou de DD que vous pouvez ajouter à la réserve lors de la phase de magie. Cela signifie que si votre liste comporte un objet "compte comme 1 dé de pouvoir (DP) ou de dissipation (DD)", votre armée ne peut ajouter qu’un dé de pouvoir (au lieu des 2 habituels) ou de dissipation à la réserve dans chacune des phases de magie et ce durant l'ensemble du jeu (indépendamment du fait que l'objet soit détruit ou utilisé).

Restrictions d'objets:

-la Forteresse pliables est interdite.
-Tout objet dissipant automatiquement un sort compte comme générant 1 DD par phase.

Lignes de vue:

Bloquent les lignes de vue: collines, bâtiments, terrains infranchissable.
Ne bloquent pas: unités et tous les autres terrains.

Couverts lourd si: 1) la majorité du socle de l'unité est caché par une autre unité ou par un terrain bloquant les lignes de vue (cf livre de règles page 41)
2) l'unité défend un obstacle
3) l'unité est dans un bâtiment
4) la majorité du socle de l'unité est dans une Ruine

Couvert léger si la majorité du socle de l'unité se trouve dans une forêt.

Les unités à majorité sur une colline n'ont pas de pénalité pour tirer à travers des unités, mais ne reçoivent pas de couvert.

Les Grandes cibles ne reçoivent jamais de couvert d'autres unités, d'obstacles ou de Ruines.
