Editing The 9th Age/Tactics/Sylvan Elves (section)

==Tactics==
The tactics are current as of version second edition

===Army Rules===
'''The Forest Follows''' You get a free forest.  After picking sides, before deployment, place one forest entirely on your half of the table and all forests are dangerous terrain (1).  This rule is an army rule and not on any model or spell, if you're playing Sylvan Elves, you get a forest.

'''Emboldening Boughs''' If a unit is mostly models with this rule and the unit is more than half in a forest the whole unit gains stubborn.

'''Forest Walker''' The model gains forest strider (durr) and if more than half the unit is in a forest all models in the unit reroll to-wound rolls of 1 in melee.

'''Sylvan Spirit''' The model gains fearless and magical attacks.  Models with Sylvan Spirit cannot join or be joined by models without Sylvan Spirit.

'''Tree Singing''' A model with tree singing may discard a veil token to move a forest up to 6 inches in a straight line, but not into units or other terrain.

'''Master Archer''' When shooting, you can choose to gain +2 AP or +2 to-hit.

===Armory===
'''Elven Cloak''' +1 armor.  This is what you get instead of heavy armor.

'''Impaling Roots''' short range, random number of shots, decent strength, but is quick to fire, march and shoot, and ignores to-hit modifiers from cover.  Comes on your big tanky trees so being short range isn't too much of a downside.  If the target is in contact with a forest the strength and AP is increased.

'''Sylvan Longbow''' Normal longbows with 1 AP and quick to fire attached.  If the target is in close range it gains +1 strength.  So good, its capped at 55 models per army.

'''Sylvan Blades''' Paired weapons with +1 AP.

'''Sylvan Lance''' Light lance with +1 AP.

===Hereditary Spell===
'''Forest Embrace''' (CV 4/7) The target friendly unit is in a forest for one turn.  Read all those special rules again, now you get to have them anytime you want wherever you want.  If boosted enemy units in base contact have to re-roll to-hit rolls of 6.

===Kindreds===
Can be repeated in an army, they go on your elf characters.

'''Shapeshifter''' 90pts. On foot only, the model gains incredible speed and a slight survivability boost but can't join units.  If you want to trick out an assassin and run him into your opponents backline, this is where to look.

'''Wild Hunter''' 90pts. Mounted on horse or elk only.  The model gains more attacks and scary charges at the cost of a slight decrease in defensive skill.  Elves outclass most others in defensive skill anyway so go for it.

'''Pathfinder''' 55pts. on foot only, not BSB, max 2 per army.  The model gains Master Archer, Scout, and shots 3 (4 if prince).

'''Blade Dancer''' 45pts. on foot only.  Gains Aegis (6+), Dances of Cenyrn, and fearless.  The bearer's unit gains swiftstride.  The model may only join units of dancers, cannot use shooting weapons, and cannot benefit from armor.

'''Forest Guardian''' 25pts. on foot only.  +1 attack and armor.  A great choice unless your planning on something specific with your Lil guy.

===Aspects of Nature===
All aspects are one of a kind and go on your tree people.

'''Scarred Bark''' 65pts. All dryads in the bearer's unit gain hatred.  Handy for making your treaples do work.

'''Toxic Spores''' 60pts. The bearer's unit gains Lethal Strike.  A decent-sized unit of tree people put out a lot of attacks and now all those 6s are doing a lot more work.

'''Entangling Vines''' 60pts. In a duel, opponents reroll successful to-hit rolls against the bearer.

'''Oaken Crown''' 20pts. The bearer's unit gains swift reform.  Makes a heavy-hitting unit a lot more mobile in the face of danger.
