Scrollhammer: Warriors of Elsweyr

Introduction

This is a work in progress of Warriors of Elswyr, for Scrollhammer. Everything is subject to change. Expect about a thousand rewordings and description rewrites.

Consider this list unofficial until the good-to-go is recieved from Lolpwnt. Not sure if he already has plans for the army or not.

General Rules

Khajiit Racial Traits:

All Khajiiti have Eye of Night (do not need to roll for night fighting). Most of the supspecies have Claws (open hands are considered Hand Weapons, duel wielded if both are open), sans for Ohmes and Ohmes-raht, both of whom are nearly human in form. Any bonus attack for having claws is not included in unit attributes unless otherwise noted.

Reserved:

Some units are reserved and cautious- when joining a unit they form up in the middle of the rear rank (Or rear if joined unit is not rank and file) and are not required to move forward to engage in close combat. So long as there are no enemy units adjacent to the reserved unit it may use ranged weapons and cast spells as though a seperate unit, also being able to draw line of sight through the unit it is joined to.

Moon Sugar

At the start of the Khajiit player's turn they recieve a DRUGS token for each Hero unit alive, deployed on the battlefield. Clan Mothers instead provide 2 tokens. At any time these tokens may be spent to increase the power of a Khajiit unit. For each token spent you may grant a target unit or target character one of the following bonuses. These effects last for the rest of that turn-

• +1 Weapon Skill and -1 Leadership
• +1 Attack and -1 Leadership
• +1 Strength and -1 Leadership

While multiple different bonuses can be granted to the same unit the same modifier cannot be applied twice in the same turn. A khajiit player may also spend 3 DRUGS tokens at the same time on a single unit to provide a more powerful effect. If this is done the target Khajiit unit has a permanent -1 Ld penalty for the remainder of the game and gains one of the following special rules for the rest of that turn-

• Feel No Pain
• Furious Charge

Unspent DRUGS tokens are lost at the start of the Khajiit player's turn, then new DRUG tokens are granted based on surviving deployed HQ units.

Heroes

Noble

The Nobles of Elswyr are the politicians, diplomats, and leaders of the southern Khajiit cities. Nobles are not neccasarily born to nobility, as it is more of a honorary title for a financially and politically powerful Khajiit. The paths to wealth are many in Elswyr- trading, fighting, or even smuggling goods. Because they frequently have questionablly legal methods of financial backing, these 'noble' are all-to-often targets of backstabbing and power attempts by rivals. Still, the common Khajiit look up to these men and women, to a degree. For they too were once part of the common rabble, only to claw their way up onto the top of the heap. It is only fitting these these opportunistic scoundrels form the high ranks of the Khajiit.

Chieftain

The far north end of Elswyr is home to warbands and nomadic tribes. Basic daily activities for these folk are a great strain, sometimes even a literal struggle, leaving many bitter and harried. Rival tribes are fought, wild-life hunted, and goods scrapped from the decaying husks of the once great civilization of Elswyr. Within this realm these Khajiit are led by their chieftans. Born and raised to be warriors and leaders to their clans, these men and women fight for well-being and glory of their people. While not leading their men into war, or settling disputes, chieftans are able to be challenged by their clan-mates. This is normally a rare occurance due to the high amount of respect chieftains command, but as a result these figures are only the most grizzled and capable of Khajiit warrior.

Clan Mother

Where the Nobles and Chieftains see to the bodily and mental needs of the people, the enigmatic Clan Mothers provide spiritual support for the Khajiit. These elderly women easily hold the most power among the Khajiit- for not only do they whisper of the teachings and lessons of Ahnurr and Fadomai, and of past myths and legends, but also see to the production and manufacture of the beloved Moon Sugar. Not even the Mane, or leader of the Khajiit is above the Clan Mothers in power- should they widely voice dissaproval over a Mane's action it is immediately redacted. Beloved and immensly respected by the Khajiiti, the words and teachings of the Clan Mothers are regarded as law.

While not a warrior-per-se, Clan Mothers are fully capable of marching out with their Khajiit clan. During battle these elderly Khajiit compliment the mainstay infantry with spells and commands, also providing much needed leadership.

Alfiq-raht

Similar to the Alfiq, the Alfiq-raht is an immensly rare and uncommon form of Khajiit. In stature they are very similar to their smaller brethren, and equally intelligent. The main difference is that of their size- while the smaller Alfiq might be as much as twenty pounds, this particular kind weighs easily thrice that.

In the presence of an Alfiq-raht it quickly becomes apparent that the beast is somewhat otherworldly. A mage might note the crackling nimbus of energy surrounding the thing, a warrior the intense glint in their eyes. Both observations would be acute- while the Alfiq-rahts are laziest among lazy forms of Khajiit, they are also surprisingly powerful spellcasters. That's not to say their services are easy to aquire- to beckon the beasts into combat or servitude they must first be heavily bribed by other Khajiit, doted upon with Moon Sugar and trinkets. When they are actually convinced to enter battle they are a spectacle to behold- gliding along the ground with graceful ease, silently dishing out impressive feats of magick, even hopping between Mundus and Oblivion seemingly at will.

Core

Warriors

The mainstay bulk of Elswyr Forces, most frequently these warriors are the race of Suthay-raht. While on average slightly less imposing then some Imperials or Nords, the innate ferocity and natural claws easily make up for this. The armament and gear of Khajiits very greatly by clan and region, though they normally wear light leather armor and use curved swords, spears, or their claws. The Elswyr Warrior's preferred tactic is to hit hard and fast at night when other races are at a disadvantage.

6 pts per model. Core. Fight in Ranks, Infantry, Khajiit. 10-30 models per unit.

Name	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Mg	Sv

• Take bows for +2 pt per model

The Dro may take up to 10 pts of magic items where appropriate from the armory.

Ohmes Skirmishers

Due to their natural agility and small size, Ohmes make ideal skirmishing infantry. The nimble Khajiit are able to dance around larger forces, peppering them with stones and arrows. Their strongest skill is not straight-up fighting however but trap-laying. Ohmes are masters of hiding themselves in foilage, laying wait in ambush for enemies to pass by. Upon recieving a signal they are then able to sprint out of cover in the ground and take foes by surprise, often outflanking them entirely. This ambush role can compliment Cathay or Suthay-raht well- once the initial lines meet the Ohmes can sandwhich the unsuspecting foe, or simply attack first to set up a charge for allies. When used well they can throw enemy forces entirely into disarray.

5 pts per model. Core. Skirmish, Infantry, Khajiit. 10-20 models per unit.

Name	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Mg	Sv
Ohmes	3	2	2	3	1	4	1	7	1	-
Dro	3	2	2	3	1	4	2	8	1	-

Special Rules: *Clawless

Ambushers: Ohmes are master trap layers, expertly able to lay in wait and take enemy forces by surprise. The unit (and any joined characters) may be kept in reserve. At the start of your movement phase you may designate a spot and perform an initiative test for the unit. On a success the unit is deployed anywhere onto the battlefield at least 4" from enemy units, and may still perform all actions as normal this turn. On a failure the ambush goes wrong and the unit is destroyed.

Wargear: Hand Weapon.

Elite

Jaguar Men

Dubbed Jaguar Men by the Imperials, the ferocious Cathay are among the largest and beefiest bipedal Khajiit. Each stands nearly seven feet tall and are heavily muscled, their claws and teeth more promenant then the other subspecies. The Khajiit favor them as personal bodyguards or shock-and-awe troops, frequently giving them heavier armor and great weapons. When properly equipt the Catahy are a force to be reckoned with- and it's for this reason that the Mane favors them as Warrior Guard.

11 pts per model. Elite. Fight in Ranks, Infantry, Khajiit. 10-20 models per unit.

Name	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Mg	Sv
Cathay	3	3	4	3	1	3	2	8	1	5+

The entire unit may replace all weapons with Glass for +3 pts per model

The Champion may take up to 15 pts of magic items where appropriate from the armory.

Desert Riders

Rather then using horses, Khajiit instead use the Senche, massive tiger-like beasts, for transportation and warmounts. Each Senche is staggeringly massive, some larger then draft horses in both size and weight. The beasts intellect also makes them perfectly suited as steeds. Despite their beastial stature they are equally as intelligent as their bipedal brothers and sisters. On the battlefield their handlers can whip the Senche into a frenzy, carried forth by them across the battlefield on large hops and strides. There is no more frightening cavalry then the senche, claws and teeth flashing and tearing apart foes with alarming ease. The so called Desert Riders also make fine anti-cavalry units due to the beasts very scent frightening horses.

20 pts per model. Elite. Skirmish, Cavalry, Khajiit. 5 to 15 models per unit. May only be joined by Independent Characters who are also riding Senche.

Name	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Mg	Sv

• Upgrade one model to Musician(can always rally) for +12 pts

The entire unit may replace their Hand Weapon and Shield with:

• Javelins and Shield +1 pts per model

• Short Bow +2 pts per model

Pahmar Pride

Smaller then the Senche, Phamars greatly resemble lions and tigers in shape and size. Though they may not be ridden as mounts by the Suthay-raht, or similar Khajiit, they instead form large packs and act as a fast-attacking infantry unit. Their ferocity is unmatched by the other subraces- the Pahmar are beastial enough, and mean enough to let their instincts wholly take over in combat. It is on battlefields that they pounce into enemy infantry amid feral cries and howls, teeth and claws searching for weak spots in armor, exposed vital points. Nearly no infantry can stand before an angry pack of Pahmar and not be torn asunder.

15 pts per model. Elite. Horde, Beast, Khajiit. 5-15 models per unit.

Special Rules: Furious Charge

The entire unit may:

• Upgrade one model to Alpha (+1 A, +1 Ld) for +15 pts

The Alpha may take up to 20 pts of magic items where appropriate from the armory, but only rings or amulets.

Goutfang Dos

The Khajiit have long been captured and traded as slaves by the other races, torn from their homes and forever placed into servitude. As a result the felines take the topic of self-defense very seriously. Complimented by their natural claws, Khajiit have mastered forms of martial arts over centuries of worry. Many styles have been created, including Goutfang, Whispering Fang, and Rawlith Khaj.

In various places within Elswyr there exist monastaries of monks, those that practice and teach the use of these martial arts. It is somewhat uncommon for the warrior monks to leave the monastaries. Under times of great need or cajouling they might set out to join another fighting unit. The most common battlefield style is that of Goutfang, which teaches how to make short work of infantry, either by tearing open vital spots or transmitting force through armor. These Goutfang Dos are able to form an impassible line of infantry, shielding weaker portions of an army with expert fighting skills and stubborn toughness.

16 pts per model. Elite. Skirmish, Infantry, Khajiit. 8-20 models per unit.

Support

Dagi

Dagi are small and nimble Khajiit native to the the Tenmar Forest. These Khajiit are able to swing from tree to tree, flinging themselves between cover with surprising alacricity. The beasts are somewhat unrefined and uncivilized, sharing many quirks and personality traits with monkeys. Still, they are natural at using bow, throwing weapons, and even rocks from the canopy. Dagi are also naturals with a few schools of magic such as Destruction and Illusion. Many a foe has suddenly had fire reigned down upon them from treetops by until-then unnoticed Dagi.

10 pts per model. Support. Skirmish, Infantry, Khajiit. 10-20 models per unit.

Name	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Mg	Sv

Alfiq Jos

For a long time believed to not exist, Alfiq are a small subspecies of Khajiit that greatly resemble housecats. Despite their tiny size, and inability to speak, these beasts are remarkably intelligent. All of them are able to understand spoken words, though they seldom give any acknowledgement or attempt to communicate with the other subraces.

What is most remarkable about the Alfiq is their ability to use magic. Small as they are, contained within each is a mind comparable to any man or mer sorcerer, though much more lazy. When hired on to fight during wartime the tiny Alfiq follow around a unit of larger Khajiit, using their bigger brothers and sisters as literal meatshields, casting magic as needed.

45 pts per model. Support. Independant Characters, Infantry, Khajiit.

Name	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Mg	Sv
Alfiq	2	4	2	2	2	4	1	7	8	5+

Wargear: Claws

Spells: Firebolt, Shock

Special Rules: Reserved

The Second Barrier (an Alfiq's armour save may not be made worse than 5+)

Fight Another Day: At the start of any assault phase you may have the Alfiq attempt to disengage from the unit it is joined to. Perform an initiative test for the Alfiq- on a success it immediately leaves the unit and moves 6" in a direction of your choosing, potentially joining a different unit in the process.

An Alfiq may take up to two spells from this book's spell list as follows:

• Any Alteration Spell +5 pts

• Any Mysticism Spell +10 pts

An Alfiq may purchase 20 points of magic items from the armory where appropriate- though it may only purchase rings and amulets.

Battlecat

The Senche-raht is the largest of all the sub-species of Khajiit, easily weighing the equivalent of fifty men. Wildly different in form then other Khajiit, they stand nearly twelve feet tall and are very heavily muscled, more reminiscent of a gorilla or bear then cat. Their front legs are also somewhat longer then the rear, giving them a plauding shuffle of a walk. The massive cats are surprisingly lax with their brethren- frequently serving as beasts of labor and muscle for odd jobs. It is in the battlefield, however, that the Senche-rahts truly shine. For in wartime the massive Khajiit are laden with wooden shields, thick quilted canvas, and ridden upon as mobile war platforms. From the height the Mahavat, or master, is able to goad the beast into viciously attacking any foes. Other riders balance along the rear of the Senche-raht with bow or spear, picking off stragglers that escape it's wrath.

Senche-rahts have something of a history with fighting the Imperial Guard. After the very first encounters commanders became wary of the beasts, not only for their fighting prowness, but also because of the effect on horses. Native Cyrodilic equinne seemed to nearly go insane at the sheer scent of the beasts. This, in addition to their ferocity, has led to the Imperial Guard to give them the monicker 'Battlecats'.

105 pts for Battlecat and riders. Support. Skirmish, Monsterous Creature, Khajiit(rider). Single Model (1 Senche-raht, 1 Madhavat, 2 Riders)

Name	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Mg	Sv

Rider	4	4	3	3 (4)	1	3	1	7	1	5+
Senche-raht	4	0	7	5	4	4	3	7	0	5+

Wargear: Riders have Bows and Battle Garb. Mahavat has Battle Garb and is unarmed.

Shields: The Senche-raht is protected by thick canvas and shields along the flanks. This provides it with a 5+ armor save.

Special Rules:

Supreme Predator: The Senche-raht causes fear, and terror against horse cavalry.

Handler: If the Mahavat is slain the Senche-raht gains the Frenzy special rule.

War Platform: Attack and ranged hits are randomly distributed among the types of models- on 1- they strike the Mahavat, 2-3 the riders, and 4+ the Senche-raht.

The entire unit of Riders may upgrade their weapons to

• Glass +3 pts per Rider

The entire unit may be upgraded to

• Support, for 0 pts. One of the riders are removed to make room for extra shields. This allows the unit to deploy a wooden platform once per game, after deployment or during your movement phase.

• War, for +20 pts. The Senche-raht's and rider's armor are upgraded to Banded Mail, upgrading the armor saves to 4+. One of the riders have their Bow replaced with a spear.

Special Rules: Fear, Eternal Warrior

Great Palanquin: The Mane's palanquin is supported upon the backs of countless Cathay-raht, or jaguar men. Foes that come too close can be pawed and bit at by these Khajiit- when an enemy engages this unit in close combat it strikes back 2d6 times, using the Cathay-rahts profile, who cannot gain a bonus for charging. The sturdy construction of the palanquin offers the Mane and Cathay-rahts additional protection, providing +1 T. Sprinting is not allowed due to the extremely heavy weight and assault range is halved.

In melee combat hits may not be directed toward the Mane- instead only being able to hit the Cathay-rahts. Ranged hits are more random in application- spells or ranged attacks are taken to the Mane on 2- and the Catahy-rahts on 3+.

Leader of the Khajiit: The Mane is the unofficial dictator of Elswyr, and as such holds absolute loyalty and faith of his peers. All units within 12" may re-roll morale and tactics tests. Each turn the Mane also provides 4 DRUGS tokens instead of the usual 1.

Warrior Guard: Purchasing the Mane allows his Warrior Guard to be purchased. These units count as Jaguar Men, save that they cost 18 pts a model and are Core. Warrior Guard have +1 attack over the listed profile. Should the Mane be slain in combat all Warrior Guard units gain the Prefered Enemy and Frenzy special rules.

Magic Items

The Magic Items available to Warriors of Elswyr are sorted into several categories. Classes of weapons, staves, light armor, heavy armor, and shields may only be taken by a model which is holding that type of item, and replaces the one he is holding. A model may take up to 3 consumables. Other items can be taken freely. Certain items may be further restricted to a particular model. Daedric Artifacts are included in the Artifacts supplement of the Core Rules, and are taken wherever specified for a model.

Items listed as upgrades are enchantments that may be taken as a bonus on a weapon that has not already been enchanted; their cost is in addition to any other costs for the item. Items not listed as upgrades are replacements; their full cost is whatever amount is marked. (Replacements are only available to models which could take that class of item to begin with).

Consumables

Consumables are available to all models which can purchase magic items. Consumables are 0-3. Scrolls can be read as many at a time as available at times where a model is casting spells with both hands. Scrolls autocast the spell written on them. Potions may be drunk once per player turn at the start of the turn.
