Birth Of Legends Tourney

The purpose of the Birth of Legends events is to merge a campaign experience with a one day tourney
event, allowing people to build up their forces based upon their results in game. These characters and
units from these games may be saved and carried onto similar events in the future.
Building Legends: When beginning a new BOL commander choose an HQ choice (no specials). This
choice begins the campaign with a roll on the Advancement Table below (re-roll 12) and one
Legendary ability. Additionally you may roll for two Warlord traits and choose one. This is your
permanent Warlord trait.
Gaining Further Abilities: After every game you play you may have one your surviving characters and
one unit of your choice (no vehicles) roll on the Advancement table below.
Alternatively some missions bestow certain abilities for success, depending on whether the
criteria was met. If the criteria was met the character or unit meeting it may skip an
advancement roll and get the benefit instead.
Limits: A Warlord, HQ or similar, can have at max six advancements, of which only three can be
Legendary Abilities. A unit can only have four advancements, of which only two can be Legendary
Abilities.

have died and cannot return.

the next game.
6-7 What Doesn't Kill Me - The character gains a roll on the Advancement Table.
Recovery: After suffering grievous injuries, characters may be healed at the hand of an Apothecary,
Medic, or other healer. If your army includes a model that grants the Feel No Pain rule, roll a D6 after
each game the injured character takes part in. On a roll of 6, the character has been fully healed and no
longer suffers any of the injuries and penalties received. Demon, Necron and Tyranid characters may
always roll to Recover.

The Immortals: Some races are beyond true death. Demons can be destroyed permanently, but are
more likely to be banished to the warp except under extreme psychic assault. Necrons can repair their
bodies endlessly so long as enough survives. Even the Dark Eldar have found a way to regrow their body
from even a fragment.
A Character that is a Dark Eldar, a Daemon, a Necron, or a Wraithlord can chose to gain a new body in
the event their old one dies. All current injuries are healed, and the character starts as he/she/it was
before their bodies death. However, they must pass a Leadership test with a -2 penalty. If the test is
failed roll a 1d3:

2-Character has post traumatic stress, as per the injury chart.
3-The character gains Deathwish, as below.
DeathWish (Single): Character becomes fearless, but must pass an armor save for every point he is
outnumbered by after losing an assault as he has become too reckless to care.
