Scrollhammer: Daedra Cults

Daedra Cults are the armies of the great Daedric Princes who dwell in the realm Oblivion, and the mortal worshippers who summon demonic hordes to do their bidding.

General Rules

Daedra Racial Traits:

Daedra are Fearless and have Eternal Warrior.

Otherworldly: Daedra get a 4+ Ward Save against non-magical attacks. Silver and Daedric weapons ignore this effect. Daedra cannot be affected by Beast Tongue and Command spells unless a rule states otherwise.

Summon: Daedra can be summoned by some spells. A summoned Daedra deep strikes within 6" of the summoning model once the spell is cast. A summoned Daedra fights as a single model, but can be joined by an Independent character. If the Daedra is slain, it may be summoned again. Summoned Daedra do not grant kill points or hold objectives, and are part of the summoner's profile on the Force Org chart unless otherwise noted.

Atronach: An Atronach is an elemental golem native to the realms of Oblivion. Atronachs are unable to hold objectives.
