Tactical Restraint and New Rules


Doom Herald

Recommended Posts

There are some new rules that have come out since the tactical restraint beta rules were introduced that have me wondering about interactions. The two main rules I wonder about are the Crimson Slaughter trait and the Reader of Fate warlord trait from Daemonkin.

TACTICAL RESTRAINT

There are several Warlord Traits, Relics and abilities that give you a chance to gain or refund Command Points when you or your opponent either use a Stratagem or spend Command Points to use a Stratagem. In matched play games, each player can only gain or have refunded a total of one

Command Point per battle round as the result of such rules, regardless of the source. This does not apply to the Moment Shackle or the Seven-fold Chant abilities, or to or the Player of the Twilight Warlord Trait – in these cases, the ability/Warlord Trait can refund or gain the player more than 1 Command Point if the Stratagem used cost 2 or more Command Points to use, but once any Command Points have been gained as a result of the rule neither it, nor any similar rule, can be used to gain any more Command Points until the next battle round. Also note that this does not apply to Command Points that are gained or refunded as specifically instructed on Stratagems (e.g. Feeder Tendrils, Agents of Vect, etc.).

From initially reading this, I get the impression that this just limits command points gained related to the use of strategem. When I read the article associated with the rules though, I feel like the intent might be otherwise. We can only guess at intent at the moment, but am I correct in assuming both the LEGION trait and warlord trait I named are exempt from this? The Crimson Slaughter trait gains you 1 command point on the death of an enemy unit on a D6 roll of 5+ and the warlord trait gains you 1 command point after manifesting a psychic power on a D6 roll of 6+. Neither rule mentions the use of strategem as a relevant part of their generating CP.

Correct. The wording is specific in that it only limits regeneration of CPs gained from playing stratagems. The Ulthwé Trait, Fate Reader, is not linked to stars and so was never affected by Restraint either.
