Sylvaneth – Spirit of Durthu
5" 14 3+ 5 Spirits of Durthu are amongst the mightiest of all Treelords, behemoths of bark and sap that serve as warrior champions of the wargroves. Armed with huge guardian swords that thrum with pure life energies, and able to conjure blasts of raw Ghyranite energy that turn their foes to verdant mulch, a Spirit of Durthu will never yield. When they plant their root-like feet, entire vanguards have been known to break against them.
The Spirits of Durthu serve as the Everqueen’s ambassadors, and as lifewards to those Sylvaneth deemed crucial to her plans, setting them apart from the hierarchy of the Glades. Alarielle herself is attended by the Sons of Durthu, hand-picked and fanatically loyal bodyguards. In the Age of Chaos, she banished the Sons in a fit of despair – yet they never lost faith in their goddess, and fought on as lonely guardians of her most sacred retreats. Since her rebirth, Alarielle has summoned her champions once more. Now the Sons of Durthu are redolent with the energies of life, making them living fonts of bountiful Ghyranite magic. | ||

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). | ||

If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack inflicts mortal damage on the target unit equal to the Damage characteristic of that weapon and the attack sequence ends.Anti-X (+1 Rend)
