The Last Stand New Characters Betas

HEROES

Heroes have a number of features that are unique to themselves that aren't in standard warhammer 40,000 aswell. The also benifiet from a number of Universal Special Rules.

Heroes Universal Special Rules

The following Rules/Equipment apply to every hero:

Fearless

Independent Character

Assault Grenades

Special Power Points: Each hero has a pool of points they can spend each turn in order to destroy their enemies or assist their allies. Some of these abilities are attacks, some are bonuses, but whatever the case, a hero may only use 1 Special Power per game turn unless they are a psyker, and then they may use 1 Psychic power per game phase: Movement, Shooting, Assault.

Special Powers use Special Points (SP) to work. Every character uses the amount listed next to the Special Power in order to use the power itself. Simply deduct the cost of the power from the total of SP the hero has and this is the total number of SP the hero has left. If you don't have enough SP to pay for the whole cost of the power then you cannot use it though the SP aren't wasted. Each turn a hero recovers a number of SP which is listed next to their total SP in their stat line as a "+X" value. X is the number of points they regenerate at the beginning of each hero turn. The number of SP a hero has can never go over the starting total listed in their stat line.

Psyker: This character can use up to 1 Special Power per phase during the hero player's turn. They pay for abilities normally. They don't need to take Psychic tests, simply pay for the ability as normal to use them.

Hit the jump for the first two completed hero profiles!

Hero Profiles:

Each hero is represented by a "Hero Profile" which describes their abilities and special moves and special rules. Each hero profile is UNIQUE. So like Monopoly pieces, each Hero can only be picked once. Also each character will have a list of abilities and wargear they can choose from to start the game. [editor's note: also like Monopoly pieces!]

Weapons and Attack Profiles: The profiles for special attacks and weapons which have ranged mechanics are listed in the following order: Range (in inches), Strength, AP, Special Rules/Number of shots.

Hero Levels: At the end of each enemy wave heroes are all awarded an amount of Experience listed on each Wave or Boss Wave Entry. Each hero gets the full amount. Players should keep track of their Hero's total amount of experience and current Level. Each Hero starts at Level 1 and can progress through the levels and gain new equipment or abilities. These Level Up Abilities are listed after the Hero's Starting Profile and equipment. Every hero requires the same amount of Experience in order to Level Up, and the experience they gain is cumulative, so after getting 100 exp the hero will be level 2 but the 100 exp won't disappear, so they'll need another 200 exp to get to level 3 and so on according to the following chart:

Level	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Exp Required	0	100	300	700	1500	3000	5000	7000	9000	11000

Experience Between Games: If you'd like to keep track and play the same character in multiple games in a row, it would be completely acceptable to keep your character's exactly the same as they are when the game ends and start the next game with the same character.

Leveling Up: When a character gains enough experience in order to reach a new level they Level Up. Every time a Hero Levels Up they may choose 1 of their Hero Specific Level Upgrades from their character sheet and add it to their current equipment and abilities. These new abilities just like their old ones are permanent and take effect immediately.

-Ability notes: Some Heroes have abilities or bonuses that are tied into Weapons, which means they have to keep this weapon if they want to use those abilities. Many Level Upgrades are "Accessories" basically meaning that they are passive equipment or knowledge that gives a permanent buff or ability. There are also Level Upgrades that are NEW weapons. These would obviously replace some or all of the weapons the Hero is carrying since each Hero may only have 2-Hands worth of weapons. Accessories or new Abilities not tied to weapons don't take up any hands so you can have as many as you like. Keep note of which ones you have available if you've lost abilities from switching weapons.

Going Out of Action: When heroes are reduced to zero wounds they go "Out of Action" they aren't dead completely, yet they can't get back to fighting on their own. When a hero reaches zero wounds place the model on their side and leave them where they were when they were defeated. They take no further action in the game, they don't block line of sight, or block movement in anyway and don't count for any enemy behavior requirements.

They may not move or shoot or use any abilities at all. Other heroes who are not "Out of Action" may attempt revive their fallen compatriots. First the friendly hero must be in base to base contact with the model who is "Out of Action" and they may not be engaged in hand to hand combat. During each phase of the hero players turn roll a d6 and add 1 to the die roll for each previous consecutive attempt you've made (This count between turns as long as the hero attempting to revive hasn't done any other actions instead of attempting to revive) if the result is a 5+ then the "Out of Action" hero immediately is restored to 2 Wounds and 20 SP and may move and act normally in the remainder of the turn.
