Soulblight Gravelords – Wight King
4" 5 3+ 2 Wight Kings were once lords of humanity, driven by ambitions of endless conquest yet constrained by the meagre span of their mortal lives. Before they perished, each sought the counsel of Necromancers or vampires to ensure their reign of terror would endure beyond the span of their mortal life. Now they are deathless tyrants, ruling over barrow-empires populated entirely by skeletal thralls.
A Wight King’s resolve and spiritual preservation grants them greater individualism than most undead, but with the warmth of life snuffed out, all that remains is the urge to rule. Every ounce of their imperious will is now given to murderous conquest. In battle, this intensity animates their legions with a ferocious, if passionless, drive. Fighting at the head of unliving retinues or lances of skeletal knights, a Wight King draws upon tactical expertise honed over centuries to overwhelm the foe before leveraging their own warrior prowess at a critical moment. So potent is a Wight King’s self-possession that only the mightiest vampires can magically bind their will to them. Others who challenge the Wight King’s supremacy are soon hacked to pieces by the monarch’s cursed blade, a weapon capable of snuffing out a soul with a single scratch. | ||

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). | ||
