Skaven – Plaguepack
6" 2 6+ 1 A Plaguepack is formed of a Plague Priest and their entourage. These fervent ratmen are devoted to the Great Corruptor and his vision of a befouled cosmos. While their master proselytises, the most favoured (or troublesome) of the pack swing a mighty plague censer, breathing deep of its noxious and blinding fumes. Alongside a Plaguepack scuttle rotten rodents, some carrying shards of warpstone crystal - a useful power source for any Plague Priest mid-catechism. | ||

The declare step of each prayer will tell you to make a chanting roll of D6. On an unmodified chanting roll of 1, the prayer fails, its effect is not resolved and you must remove D3 ritual points from the PRIEST using the prayer.On a chanting roll of 2 or more, pick one of the following:
- Give a number of ritual points to the PRIEST equal to the chanting roll (ritual points can be accumulated over multiple turns).
- Add the PRIEST’s ritual points to the chanting roll. If the chanting roll equals or exceeds the prayer’s chanting value (at the top-right corner of the prayer), it is answered: resolve the effect of the prayer, then reset the PRIEST’s ritual points total to 0.
