Gloomspite Gitz – Fungoid Cave-Shaman
5" 5 6+ 2 Visionaries, instigators and soothsayers, Fungoid Cave-Shamans speak with an otherworldly authority concerning future events they claim to have witnessed in the dream-realm of the ‘Great Green’. Their screeched commands are considered as good a basis for a battle plan as any by most Gitz, especially given that these prophecies have a nasty habit of coming true. Fungoid Cave Shamans are the closest thing the grots have to strategists, able to plot wars that span continents or even multiple realms. They do this not through learning and guile but by consuming quantities of toxic fungi that would kill humans thrice over and then jabbering incessantly about the resulting visions they experience.
Cave-Shamans fuel their magic with the Deffcap, a highly hallucinogenic mushroom that grows inside the shaman until it bursts out of their cranium. Cave-Shamans sporting such a fungus are capable of casting far more potent spells, for the mushroom appears to draw power from the Bad Moon itself.
Any who seek an audience with a Cave-Shaman must tolerate the various squiggly beasts and other critters that nestle within their robes or writhe upon the grot’s gnarled flesh, such as the vicious Spore Squig, a common companion. | ||

 Once Per Battle, Your Hero Phase |
DEFFCAP MUSHROOM: The Fungoid Cave-Shamans claim that eating Deffcaps allows them to commune with those who have passed on to the ‘Great Green’. Though such is debatable, the mushroom’s effect on the shaman’s spellcasting abilities is beyond doubt.

Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.| Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities). | ||
Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Wound characteristic, the attack successfully wounds: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified wound rolls of 1 always fail.Companion
Unless otherwise specified, attacks made by this weapon are not affected by friendly abilities that modify hit rolls, wound rolls or weapon characteristics, except for those that apply negative modifiers (e.g. ‘Covering Fire’).Those HEROES can join an eligible regiment as a Moonclan Agitator.
