Welcome to Relic Knights!

Soda Pop Miniatures would like to thank you for taking the time to download the
Relic Knights beta rules set. The basic mechanics of the game are all here and wont be
changing. Most of the model rules are also complete.
However, this rules system is still a work in progress: some key rules mechanics (such as
squads) have yet to be added and fnal editing still is not complete. The Soda Pop team is
working hard on all of these things and will continue to improve your game experience
every way we can as we approach the May launch date.
How you can help.
Read our rules, play a bunch of games with your friends, and then get involved. Join us
on the Soda Pop forums and post any and all questions, concerns, or rules issues you can
fnd. We wont be able to respond personally to every comment or post, but we promise
well read every single one and take your feedback into account as we polish the book
into its fnal form.
Our goal is nothing less than to give you the most dynamic, action-packed, rulebook we
can. With your help were sure to succeed.
Now, what are you doing? The Darkspace Calamity is here. Time to save the universe!
Thanks for playing,
The Soda Pop Team

At a Glance
The Darkspace Calamity engulfs the universe. Inexorably it devours galaxies whole, their
lights extinguished one by one. Only a single galaxy remains, desperately staving of
extinction through the might of its heroes. Plunge headlong into the action with your
own cadre of powerful champions to combat the calamity and determine the fate of the
universe!
Relic Knights is a quick and dynamic tabletop strategy battle game that uses fnely
detailed 30mm miniatures to represent our heroes and villains on the battlefeld.
Relic Knights uses a card-based system to represent Esper, the energy which binds the
universe. Players draw and use this Esper to unleash devastating attacks and cunning
counters upon their foes.
A Relic Knights force is built around either a Relic Knight or Questing Knight. Potent
warriors and wielders of esper, they are your cadres leader and determine what other
models can be recruited.
Each knight is bonded to a cypher. Born of pure esper, each cypher has chosen a knight
that refects their own motivations and desires, granting them powers beyond the
mortal ken. The knight and their cypher are joined in battle by select individuals who
have rallied to their cause and will form their cadre.
Some cadres are formed entirely of unique individuals. Each a mighty hero in their own
right. Each fghting for a cause sacred to themselves. Others are surrounded by minions
and grunts -- the everyman soldier. Most have joined the knight in service of a greater
cause, be it nation, race, creed, or greed. Regardless of their composition, with a knight
at their these cadres make up the most potent fghting forces the galaxy has ever seen.
As calamity looms, they represent the universes last hope. Their actions will be the cause
of its salvation or herald its destruction.
Summary of Play
Before playing, players agree on a game size and select a scenario. They then recruit
their cadres, and set up the battlefeld with terrain and any objectives required by the
scenario. Players then determine the frst player and alternate taking turns deploying
models on the battlefeld. Once models have been deployed players determine their
ready order and draw their hand up to fve cards. Then the battle begins.
During the battle each player takes turns activating a single model. During that models
activation it will be allowed to make an initial move, use an action, then take a follow-up
move. The player then discards or draws their hand back to fve cards. Play continues
between players alternating model activations until one player satisfes the victory
conditions of the scenario being played or their opponent surrenders the game.

RRULES

Before launching into your fast and furious Relic Knights games, there are several essential
components you will need to play and basic concepts for you to understand. This section
covers the basic game elements you will be using to play your games of Relic Knights.
Objects
An object refers to any game element placed upon the table. This includes models,
terrain, and markers. Remember that when you see a rule that refers to objects, it is
referring to any and all game elements.
Models
Models are the miniatures used to play a game of Relic Knights. Models all have a number
of attributes that are used to defne their abilities, strengths and weaknesses. Models in
your cadre are referred to as friendly models, while models in your opponents cadre are
referred to as enemy models.
Model Cards
All models have two cards, a tracker card and a reference card. The smaller standard
sized card is called the tracker card. The large double sized card is called the reference
card. Each card represents certain characteristics that describe how the model interacts
within the game.
Name: This is the models name and how they are identifed on the table.
Faction: Most models belong to one of the many organizations and groups throughout
the universe. A models faction shows its allegiance to one of these groups. Certain
abilities, powers and efects can afect models of a specifc faction diferently. A model
can only have one faction, though some models may have no faction.
Type: There are several types of models used in Relic Knights.
- ReIic Knight: Relic Knights are warriors and heroes, gifted with powerful mechanical
constructs called Relics and empowered by mystical creatures known as cyphers.
Along with Questing Knights, Relic Knights are often collectively referred to as Knights.
- uesting Knight: Questing Knights have only recently manifested a cypher and now
travel the galaxy seeking to prove themselves worthy of a mighty Relic of their own. Along
with Relic Knights, Questing Knights are often collectively referred to as Knights.
- Cypher: Enigmatic creatures born of pure esper, cypher hold the keys to the
Darkspace Calamity that has descended upon the universe. Each cypher is bound to a
single Relic Knight or Questing Knight
- Unique: Uniques are individual characters that have joined the cadre of a knight
seeking glory and adventure of their own.

- Minion: Minions make up a diverse panoply of Noble warriors, trained soldiers,
cunning racers and others that join the knights in their battles.
Cost: All models have a point cost that is used to defne the overall value of the model as
a whole. In general, models with a higher point cost are more powerful than models that
cost fewer points. When players assemble their forces, the total cost of all their models
determines the size of the game being played. More information about assembling a
force is discussed in Game Setup.
Afnity: Nearly every living thing in the universe is infuenced by the energies that
form the building blocks of existence. Most beings have a particular connection to one
of the six expressions of the universe, a connection that helps defne their powers and
abilities. A models afnity defnes its connection to one of the six types of Esper. This is
represented on the models reference and tracker card by the esper symbol found on the
back of the card.
Size: The size of a model determines how it interacts with other models and objects.
Models will have a size attribute of one and higher. A models size is used in determining
line of sight and other rules presented below.
Speed: A models speed is used to determine how quickly it moves around the
battlefeld. Models will have two parts to their speed attribute. The frst is the maximum
distance a model may move before making an action during its activation (called the
initial move). The second value is the maximum distance a model can move during its
follow-up move. Movement rules are discussed later.
HeaIth: When a model sufers damage it gets closer to falling in battle. A models health
determines how much damage it can take before being removed from play. When a
models health is reduced to zero it is removed from the game. Players will use their
tracker card to keep track of a models health as it sufers damage and is healed.
Held Esper: All models have the ability to channel Esper and weave it into powerful
efects. There are many ways a model can hold Esper. Held Esper is described in greater
detail in the Manipulating Esper section.
Skills: How efective a model is in combat is determined by its combat skill attributes.
Combat skills are divided into three
categories, based on the type of attack;
psychic, melee and ranged. A model will
have an attack and defense attribute for
each of these three categories. The attack
attributes are collectively referred to
as a models Attack Skills. The Defense
attributes are collectively referred to as a
models Defense Skills.
Minion Identifcation: Use this space to
write a number, letter, or other symbol to
help you identify which card belongs to
each minion model.
Card Sleeves - During a game of
Relic Knights there are several
things you need to keep track of
using your tracker card -- Health,
Held Esper, Minion Identifcation.
We recommend using clear
plastic card sleeves for your
tracker cards. Then you can use a
dry or wet erase marker to track
damage, etc. without damaging
the game card.

Abilities: Inherent powers and qualities that have an efect in the game are called
abilities. Abilities directly afect a model during the game, such as Armor reducing
damage the model sufers. Unless otherwise specifed, abilities are always active.
Actions: While some models have access to general actions, all models have specifc

the Esper cost to activate and their efects are listed in the models description. Details
on taking actions are found in the Playing the Game section.
Traits: Models possess qualities that defne who and what it is. Traits are used to classify

Esper Deck
Relic Knights uses a standardized card deck which represents the fow of Esper around
us. The card deck comes with 42 cards. Each player will need one.

dashboard is used to organize your tracker cards and determine your models order of
play. Details on using the dashboard are found in the Playing the Game section.
Terrain
The objects on the table that represent things like trees, buildings, hills and other
features of the battlefeld are collectively referred to as terrain. Detailed rules for terrain
can be found in the Terrain section.
Measuring 0evice
There is often occasion to measure distances for movement, efects and other reasons. During
a game, players can take measurements at any time, for any reason. Units of measurement,
including movement and all other measurements, are always listed in inches.
Markers
In addition to models and terrain, markers are often placed on the table to indicate the
location of efects, objectives and other important items.

Before launching into your battles of Relic Knights, players will need to determine a few
things in order to get started. This section details how you select the size of your game,
how you recruit your cadre, determine what scenario you will be playing, and deploy
your models.
Choose the 0ame Size
Adventuring in the Relic Knights universe is perilous. Each Knight relies upon trusted
companions, ruthless mercenaries, or faithful followers to see them through. When
players begin selecting their cadres, they must frst decide what kind of game they will
be playing. Is it a large game with many models, or a smaller game with only a few for
each player? The size and type of game being played determines how many points each
player has to build their cadre. It also determines how many Knights a player can or must
take as well as the size of the ready area on their dashboard. There are four basic types
of games:
Encounter: An encounter represents a scrap, ambush, or other small scale fght with
a Knight and their close companions. Players have 35 points from which to select their
cadre. The ready queue of each players dashboard is made up of two slots. Cadres must
include one Relic Knight or Questing Knight. Limit 1.
Skirmish: Skirmishes break out when better prepared forces plan and execute raids,
surgical strikes, or soda fueled brawls at the latest Guilty Beat concert. Each player has
50 points to select their cadre. The ready queue of each players dashboard is made up of
three slots. Cadres must include one Relic Knight or Questing Knight. Limit 1.
CIash: As tensions rise, small scufes give rise to fercer conficts involving more than
just a few combatants. Players have 65 points from which to build their cadres. The ready
queue of each players dashboard is made up of four slots. Each player must include
one Relic Knight or Questing Knight to lead their cadre, but may also bring up to one
additional Knight. Limit 2.
Battle: Battles are epic encounters between two factions, with each player bringing 100
points to bear against their opponent. The ready queue of each players dashboard is
made up of fve slots. Each player must select a Relic Knight or Questing Knight to lead
their cadre, but may also bring up to one additional Knight. Limit 2.
Battles are truly massive games and should be played on a slightly larger battlefeld, we
recommend having your battle take place on a table at least 4x4 with lots of terrain.

Build Your Cadre
Your cadre is the force you have brought to the battle. Every model you recruit is considered
part of your cadre. Once the size and type of game has been determined, players spend
points on models for their cadre. Each model has a cost listed that determines how many
points must be spent to recruit that model. Players may also spend points on boosts, helpful
items and power-ups that assist your Cadre in the fght ahead.
Choose a Leader: In each cadre players
must recruit at least one Questing Knight
or Relic Knight to be the leader of the
cadre. All models selected to be part of
the cadre must share the same faction
as the leader. If you are playing a game
size that allows more than one Knight to
be recruited you still must designate one
of them to be the cadres leader, who will
determine your cadres faction as normal.
For example, Calico Kate is selected as
the leader of a cadre. Kate is a member
of the Star Nebula Corsairs faction. This
means that all models in Kates cadre
must also be members of the Star
Nebular Corsairs faction.
Cyphers: Each Questing Knight or Relic
Knight also comes with a cypher. The specifc cypher they are bonded to is listed on their
card and becomes a member of the cadre automatically. Cyphers cost no points, their
value has already been fgured into the cost of the Knight.
Unique Models: Some models in Relic Knights represent powerful individual characters
and possess the unique trait. A player may not include two or more unique models of the
same name in their cadre.
Minion Models: Many models in Relic Knights represent goons, guards, and companions,
such possess the minion trait. A player may include multiple minion models of the same
name in their cadre.
Boosts: The variety of technology, artifacts, and other helpful items available to the
forces represented in Relic Knights are called boosts. A player may not include more
than two boosts of the same name in their cadre.

Determine a Scenario
After the size of the game has been determined and each player has selected their cadre,
the players will determine their scenario. Scenarios provide players unique objectives
they must accomplish to achieve victory.
To select a scenario, one player shufes their Esper Deck and chooses a card randomly.
The primary Esper type on the card determines what scenario is played. If a wild card is
chosen, the player drawing the card chooses the scenario. If a void card is drawn, the
opposing player chooses the scenario.
Victory Conditions: Each scenario has diferent conditions that determine the winner.
Scenario details and specifc victory conditions are discussed for each scenario in the
Scenarios section.

Set Up the attIeeId
When setting up the battlefield, players must designate a 3x3 area of table (or other
flat surface) to be used as the battlefield. In addition, an area is needed for each
player to place their dashboard. Once these areas have been laid out, players place
terrain on the battlefield. Each player takes turn placing a piece of terrain. (Players are
encouraged to build a well themed table, evocative of the rich and fantastic galaxy
Relic Knights takes place in.)
How Much 7errain ShouId l Use1
A good estimate is to have 1-3 pieces of terrain for each square foot of playable space
on your tabletop. Games of Relic Knights are most fun when your heroes are dodging
whickering laser fre through dense cover, or avoiding certain death by climbing out of
reach of an enemys attack.

7he 0ashboard
Each player has an area near the battlefeld which is referred to as, the dashboard. The
dashboard contains a number of diferent sections. Models are represented by their
tracker card on the dashboard. The sections are: active slot, linked slot, ready queue, idle
model section, draw pile, discard pile, dead pile.
Ready ueue: The Ready Queue is where you place a number of models determined
by the type and size of the game you are playing. At the beginning of your turn, the left
most model in the ready queue moves into the active slot. The remaining tracker cards
slide in the queue to the next available slot, from right to left. At the end of the turn the
active card goes into the Idle section and you must put a new tracker card into the empty
slot in the ready queue. (This may be the same model that just was activated.)
There are efects in the game that can cause models to be removed from the ready
queue. At the end of any turn, the ready queue must be set to its required number of
models as long as you enough models left in play. A player cannot voluntarily remove
a model or change the order of the models in the ready queue. Models whose tracker
cards are in the ready queue are referred to as ready.
Active Slot: This is where the currently activated model is placed during its activation.
Models in this section are still ready, even though they are no longer in the ready queue.
Linked SIot: This is where a tracker card is placed if it is linked and going to activate this
turn. The linked attribute and its rules are discussed later. Models in the linked section
are considered Idle until they are moved to the active slot.
Idle Section: The idle section is where all models that are not ready or in the dead pile
go. Models in the idle section are referred to as idle.
Draw Pile: This is where your Esper Deck goes.
Discard Pile: This is where discarded esper cards go.
Dead Pile: This is where a models tracker card goes when it has been killed or otherwise
removed from the game.

Place Objective Markers
Once terrain has been placed, players add any objective markers specifc to the scenario
or other scenario-specifc items. When called for, objective markers are placed on the
table to represent various objects and goals used in the scenarios. In order for a model
to interact with an objective marker, it must be in contact with the marker. Markers are
30mm in diameter and have a Size attribute of 0. Markers in no way inhibit movement,
line of sight or other in-game efects and rules.
0etermine Who ls 7he First PIayer
Each player shufes their deck and fips the top three cards. Each player
then adds up the total number of esper that matches their cadres afnity.
The player with the highest total is the frst player. If both players have the
same total, both players fip another card until one player has a higher total.
Example: Calico Kate and Princess Malya are squaring of in a battle. Both players shufe
their deck and fip the top three cards. Kates player fips a total of two Chaos (Kates
afnity) while Malyas player fips no Creation, indicating that Kates player is designated
as the frst player.
Deploy Your Cadre
Starting with the frst player, players deploy their forces on the battlefeld. While some
scenarios may have specifc rules as to how models are deployed, the rules presented
here are the default used for most games.
The frst player places one of their Boost markers anywhere on the table. The next player then
places one of they Boost markers anywhere on the table, not within 9of another Boost marker.
Each player then takes it in turn place boost markers until all Boosts have been deployed.
Once all Boosts have been deployed, the frst player places one of their models anywhere
on the table. The next player then places one of their models anywhere on the table, not
within 9 of an enemy model. Models may be deployed near Boosts. Each player then
takes it in turn placing a model until all models have been deployed.
Set Ready ueue
After all models have been deployed, the frst player sets their ready order by placing
each models tracker card in either the ready queue or the idle section. After the frst
players ready order is set their opponent sets theirs.
Draw First Hand
Both players then shufe their Esper Decks and draw their fve-card hand. Both players then have
the option of discarding any number of cards from their hand and re-drawing back to fve cards.
Players will often favor their more powerful models when flling their ready
queue, leaving some models to spend much of the game waiting. This is
intentional as games of Relic Knights focus on the knights themselves and their
struggles against one another. As models are removed from play, oftentimes less-
important models will fnd themselves thrust into battle.

Players will often favor their more powerful models when flling their ready
queue, leaving some models to spend much of the game waiting. This is
intentional as games of Relic Knights focus on the knights themselves and their
struggles against one another. As models are removed from play, oftentimes less-
important models will fnd themselves thrust into battle.
62
After Game Set Up has been completed the game is read to begin. Beginning with the
frst player, players will take turns activating a single model from the active slot of their
dashboard moving and taking actions with that model, adjusting the ready queue, and
then play passes to the next player.
When a model becomes active, move its card to the active slot on the dashboard. When active
a model may either take a full activation or it may refocus. A full activation consists of four
parts -- initial movement, action, follow-up movement, and discard. Refocusing includes no
movement or action and is used to fully refresh the players hand and gain Held Esper.
Initial Movement
Before a model takes its action, it is allowed to take an initial move. A model may move
up to a number of inches equal to the frst value of its Speed skill. Once a model takes an
action, it can no longer make its initial move.
Facing: Though models may have a clear direction that they face, there is no need to
determine a models facing. Assume that all models can see in all directions at all times.

Contact: Many efects, actions and rules apply to models and objects in contact with
one another. A model is considered in contact with another object if its base is touching
the objects base. Some objects, such as terrain, may not have a proper base; in these
instances you use the perimeter of the object as the base.
A model in contact with an enemy model is free to move away from the enemy model
when making movement. Models in contact with enemy models are not locked in and
are moved away when making free or forced movement of any kind.
Actions
Models are only allowed to take a single action during their activation. All models have
actions specifc to that model listed on their reference card.
In addition to the models own actions many models possess the [Esper Type] Initiate or
[Esper Type] Master abilities. These abilities grant them access to esper specifc General
Actions. General Actions are actions a model can use exactly like the actions written
in their own profle. The Initiate and Master abilities along with esper specifc General
Actions are detailed in the Reference section.
When a model wants to take an action, the player announces the action being taken
and pays for the cost of the action using esper cards from their hand or Held Esper. For
non-combat actions, the efect of the action takes efect and the player has the option
to press the action. Once the action has been resolved, the player draws back up to fve
cards to their hand from their draw pile.
If a player does not have the esper necessary to pay for any of a models available actions
(or any available scenario specifc actions) that model may take no action this turn and it
advances directly to its follow-up movement.

Actions have the foIIowing components:
Name: This is what the action you are taking is called.
Tier: Actions are broken up into tiers that defne how powerful the action is. Tier Two
actions are more powerful than Tier One actions. In addition to identifying the strength
of the action, the tier of the action is used to determine whether that action can be used
in defense of an attack. An attack cannot be prevented by an action of a lower tier. Thus,
a Tier One block cannot be used to defend against a Tier Two attack.
Type: Actions fall into a number of categories that are used to determine how they
are resolved. Every action will have one of the following types: block, dodge, melee
attack, psychic attack, ranged attack, recover, redirect, soak, support, transfer. These are
described in greater detail in the Combat section.
Cost: To take an action, players must spend esper. The initial cost of an action can come
from one or more esper types. Any excess esper spent for the initial cost of an action is
lost and does not carry over to any presses the model might use.
Area of Efect (AoE): Some actions create persistent efects that remain in play
throughout the game. When an action creates an area of efect, it is placed on the
battlefeld and remains-in-play until removed or the game ends. When an AoE action is
taken, the acting model places an efect marker anywhere within the models LoS. Not all
actions create persistent efects. A model can only be afected by any given efect once
per activation, though multiple efects of the same type stack.

AoE Markers: AoE markers indicate that
a particular condition is in place upon the
battlefeld. When an action is taken that
creates an AoE marker, a marker is placed
on the battlefeld representing this efect.
The efect covers the entire area within 3
of the edge of the marker, including the
marker itself. AoE markers remain-in-play
until the game ends. Markers are 30mm
in diameter and have a Size attribute of 0.
Markers in no way inhibit movement, line
of sight or other in-game efects and rule,
unless the text of the AoE action specifes
otherwise.
Buf: Bufs are actions that provide
benefcial efects that only afect friendly
models.
Debuf: Debufs are actions that cause
negative efects that only afect enemy
models.
0amage: Attack actions often cause
damage to their targets. If an action deals
damage, the base amount of damage dealt
is listed here.
Presses: Nearly all actions allow a player
to press >>INSERT PRESS ICON<< an action
for greater efect. All presses include a cost and an efect. Actions may include multiple
presses and players have the option of using more than one press per action. You cannot
use the same press more than once in a given action.
After a model has initiated an action, the controlling player has the option to press the
action. The acting model must pay the cost of each press they choose to use, then the
press takes efect. Most presses modify the associated action; this happens immediately
and the fnal, modifed action includes any adjustments the press(es) include.
Sometimes a press will change the type of action it is associated with. When this occurs,
the new action type is used to determine when the action occurs, how the action
resolves and any other efects. The action immediately uses the new action type for all
intents and purposes once the press is paid for. Players can initiate the action using the
new action type when that action type would normally be used.
For example: Kenobo is attacked and his controlling player decides to use Immortals
Roll (a soak) to defend. Kenobos controller initiates a press to change the action type
to a block; this occurs when declaring attack prevention actions (4.3.1.1 on Order of
Operations) rather than damage prevention actions (5.1.1 on Order of Operations) since
this action is now an attack prevention.

Follow-Up Movement
After a models initial move, it is allowed to take an action; once this action is taken a
model may make a follow-up move. A model may move up to a number of inches equal
to the second value of its Speed skill after taking its action during its activation. Follow-
up movement is otherwise exactly like a models initial movement and all the rules that
apply to initial movement apply to follow-up movement.
Discard
Once a model has completed its follow-up movement, its activation ends. Its controlling
player now has the option to discard any number of cavurds from their hand and
immediately draw back up to fve cards.
Refocus
Sometimes, when a model is activated, theres not a lot for it to do due to the ever-
changing conditions of the battlefeld. When a model is activated, the controlling
player has the option to refocus. Refocusing allows a player to dump a bad hand, gain
additional resources and make use of an otherwise uneventful activation.
To refocus, the active model cannot take any movement or actions and the controlling
player draws fve cards from the Esper Deck and then discards any excess cards in their
hand back to fve cards. After discarding, the active model gains one Held Esper. The
models activation then ends and the controlling player adjusts their ready queue normally.
Experienced gamers may notice that there are no traditional rounds in Relic
Knights. While the roundless game play of Relic Knights is quite diferent
than rules found in other games, it is smooth and easy to learn.

Line of Sight
Line of sight (LoS) is used to defne the relationship between two objects and anything
between them. LoS is used for many things, but mostly it is for determining if one
object can see another and for determining what objects (if any) are between them.
LoS is always determined from one model to an object. Just because one model can see
another does not mean the reverse is true.
Models wishing to perform a psychic or ranged attack action must frst determine if their
target is in line of sight. To do this, check the sight window for any objects between the
attacker and the intended target.
7he Window: The Line of Sight Window (or just Window for short) is the area between
an active model and the object it is checking LoS with (referred to as the target). The
Window is used to defne what objects are between the active model and the target. To
determine The Window, look down from above the table and imagine a line connecting
the left side of the active models base to the left side of the targets base, and then
the same for the right side. The area between those two lines is called the Line of Sight
Window. There are a number of things that this window is used for.
Between: Any object that is in the window between the active model and the target
is referred to as being between the two. Many rules will come into play when a model
is between two models. For example a object with the cover rule that is between the
attacking model and the target, potentially grants a bonus to the target.
How can l teII what l can see1
To determine if a model can see an object, attempt to draw an unblocked line from the active
model to the object its checking on. Then we use the window to determine if there are any other
objects that might modify the action or afect its intended target (such as providing cover).
What can bIock LoS1
All objects in the window must be defned as either the target, blocking, or non blocking.
The target has been defned above. Blocking objects are terrain or other models of equal or

greater size than the target that fully cross the window to the target. Non-blocking objects are
all objects in the window that are less than the size of the target object, or do not fully cross the
window to the target. Some objects, such as terrain or efects, cover an area and block line of
sight; models cannot trace LoS through these areas, nor trace LoS within these areas.
Combat Actions
Actions intended to attack or defend a model are combat actions and function a little
diferently than other actions. Combat actions are divided into two basic categories:
attacks and defenses. Defenses can be further separated into attack prevention and
damage prevention.
There is a set order of operations when making an attack action.
0etermine a target: When a model wants to initiate an attack action it must have a
legal target. A legal target is any model in range and LoS (see Line of Sight section).
In some cases an attack action allows additional free movement before the attack. When
it does, the target must remain legal after the movement takes place for the action to
be allowed. If for some reason the target would not remain legal after the movement
the action cannot be used, the model must use a diferent action or choose a diferent
target instead.
Most actions, including ranged attacks and the creation of efects, do not have a minimum or
maximum range and can be used on any target within a models line of sight.
Pay for the attack action: Once you have a target, an attack action can be initiated the
same way all other actions are. The acting model pays the cost of the action from the
esper cards in their hand and/or with any Held Esper.
Draw additional cards: Once the cost of the action has been paid, both the acting
model and the target draw additional cards. The attacking model draws a number of
cards equal to its associated attack skill.
For example: A model is making a ranged attack and has a Ranged Attack skill of 3, the
controlling player draws three additional cards. The defending model draws a number of
cards equal to its ranged defense skill. If a model does not have a value for a specifc type of
attack or defense, listed as a -, it cannot make attacks or defend against attacks of that type.
Attacker declares presses: After both players draw additional cards, any pre-action
efects are resolved before presses are announced and applied. The attacker now has the
option to press the attack using the rules detailed earlier.
Attack prevention: Once the attacker has finalized the details associated with the
attack, the defender can announce an attack prevention action, like a block. If the
defender uses an attack prevention action, they pay the initial cost of the defense,
announce any presses associated with the action, and then pays for the press(es). If
the attack prevention action is successful, the attack is negated and is considered to
have missed. A defender can only use a single attack prevention action for each attack
they suffer.

0amage prevention: If the attack was not prevented, the target has been hit and
the attack is resolved. The defender now has the opportunity to prevent some or all
of the damage inflicted by the attack. After the attack hits, the defender announces
a damage prevention action, like a recover. They pay the initial cost of the defense,
announce any presses associated with the action, and then pays for the press(es). If
the damage prevention action is successful, resolve its effect in accordance to the type
of action used. A defender can only use a single damage prevention action for each
attack they suffer.
AppIy damage: After any damage prevention actions have been applied, damage is
inficted. The defending models Health is reduced by the number of damage dealt. If this
reduces a models Health to zero, the model is removed from play as a casualty.
t
Record the damage taken on the models tracker card by marking one damage hex for
each point of damage taken by the model. Once damage has been dealt, any after-attack
efects are resolved and the action ends. As with all actions, players draw or discard their
hand back to fve cards after the action has been resolved.

Combat Action Types
Melee Attack: A melee attack is a close combat attack action that can be
made against a target in contact with the attacker. Some melee attacks grant
movement to either the attacker or defender, allowing the attack to be initiated
before the attacker and defender are in contact. In these cases, the attacker must
be in base contact after any free movement or the action ends immediately.
Psychic Attack: A psychic attack is an attack intended to target the victims
mind, will or psyche. A psychic attack can only be made against a target in
the attackers LoS.
Ranged Attack: A ranged attack can be anything from a rife to an energy blast.
A ranged attack can only be made against a target in the attackers line of sight.
Models in base contact with an enemy cannot make ranged attacks of any kind.
Iock & 0odge: These defenses are attack prevention actions. The attack is
considered to have missed if the defense action is successful.
Recover: This defense is a damage prevention action. After damage is
applied, a recover action heals the target. Unlike a soak, recover actions can
heal more damage than inficted in the attack.
Redirect: This defense is an attack prevention action. Rather than apply the
attack to the intended target, a redirect action directs the attack towards a
diferent target specifed in the action. The new target must be a legal target
for the attacker and for the type of attack. When the attack is redirected,
the defender ends their portion of the action, discarding or drawing back
to fve cards. The attack continues with the same attack action, but the new
target now acts as the defender. The new defender is now able to draw their
appropriate defense skill in additional cards and defend against the attack
normally. You cannot perform a redirect action if there is no legal target.
Soak: This defense is a damage prevention action. A soak reduces the
damage dealt from attack by the amount specifed in the action, to a
minimum of zero.
Transfer: This defense is a damage prevention action. A transfer takes some
of the damage dealt by an attack and transfers it to another target, specifed
in the transfer action. The damage inficted on the original target is reduced
by the amount specifed by the transfer action and is instead applied to
the target of the transfer. The target of the transfer cannot make attack or
damage prevention actions to reduce this damage further. Attributes of the
damage, such as ignores armor carry over when the damage is transferred.
Support: Support actions are actions that do not have a direct combat efect
and may include bonus movement, skill enhancements, AoE efects, etc. Once
the cost of the action has been paid, immediately resolve the efect listed in
the details of the action.

ManipuIating sper
Esper is the primal energy that binds everything in the universe. It is everywhere and it
is everything. Some races harness esper through technology, others through meditation
and mysticism, while some tap into it on a purely instinctual level.
There are six types of esper, each is represented by a specifc icon and is aligned a specifc
color as shown on the Esper Wheel.
All models have a single esper type that they align with, this is represented by their
afnity. The esper to either side of a specifc esper type on the wheel is said to be
sympathetic, while the esper type directly opposite of it is said to be in opposition. For
most purposes a model will only be part of a cadre with the same afnity, but specifc
scenarios or objectives may allow alliances with models of difering afnities.
Esper type is used in determining the cost to activate your models actions. Each action
and its presses will have a cost designated by a number in hex that is the color of the
esper type you must spend to initiate that action. Models in Relic Knights use esper to
perform all of their actions, whether they are attack, defense, or support. Actions are
described in greater detail in the Playing the Game section.
The primary method models gain access to esper is by drawing cards from the Esper
Deck. In addition to the Esper Deck models can store Held Esper allowing them to
power up for later devastating attacks. The most powerful esper users can manipulate
esper in many useful ways through the use of Esper Actions.

Esper Deck: The Esper Deck is a non-customizable card deck of 42 cards, representing
the esper energy that models will use to power their actions. Each Player will need one
and will draw from their own deck during the game.
During the game, each player will have a hand of fve cards. For a model to perform an
action, players use cards from their hand to pay the cost of that action. Once the action
is complete players draw or discard as needed to get their hand back to fve cards. Cards
that are played or discarded during the game are placed in the discard pile. Whenever a
deck is down to no cards, play stops and the discard pile is shufed and reset as the new
deck. Play then continues.
The deck is made up of three types of cards: Standard, Void, and Wild.
Standard: Standard cards have a primary and secondary esper type. The larger, top,
icon is the primary esper type. The smaller, bottom, icon is the secondary esper type.
When played, a player can choose to use the primary type for a value of two esper or the
secondary type for a value of one esper. When a standard card is played, only one type
of esper can be used.
Void: Void cards have no esper type and a value of zero esper.
WiId: Wild cards have a value of one of any esper type chosen by the player when the
card is played.
Occasionally, an efect will require players to fip cards. Flipped cards are drawn from
the top of the players deck, revealed, the efect is resolved and the cards are discarded.

Held Esper: In addition to esper drawn from the Esper Deck all models can store esper
within themselves, in efect, charging themselves with power to deliver their most
devastating actions. This stored energy is called, Held Esper.
Models can gain Held Esper in a variety of ways. Some models like knights or cyphers
naturally generate Held Esper when they are activated. Others can only generate Held
Esper through refocusing or by having it transferred to them from another.
Whenever a model gains Held Esper mark one box on their tracker card for every point
of Held Esper they possess. When the Held Esper is spent, erase it from the card. A model
may only have as much Held Esper as indicated by the number of Held Esper boxes on
its tracker card. Any additional Held Esper gained above a models maximum is ignored.
A model does not have to be currently active or ready to be able to spend or gain Held
Esper. Held Esper can be used exactly like normal esper cards drawn from your Esper
Deck to power an action or activate another ability requiring they expenditure of esper.
Each point of Held Esper has a value of two esper of any single esper type, and can
be used in conjunction with any normal expenditure of esper. A model can spend any
number of Held Esper at one time.
Anytime an ability or action references esper held by a model it is referring to the
models Held Esper.

Esper Actions: Though all models can use esper on a basic level, some have the ability
to harness it in more powerful ways. These models possess abilities that grant them
actions and abilities that allow them to more fully manipulate esper.
Some models will possess the Esper Initiate or Esper Master abilities. The Esper Initiate
ability grants the model the Transfer Esper action. The Esper Master ability grants the
Transfer Esper, Esper Thief, and Esper Cleansing actions. The Channel Esper ability is
limited primarily to a few enigmatic individuals, such as Cyphers.
sper CIeansing: Some models that wield esper can disrupt the fow esper in existing
areas of power, dispelling the efect. As an action, a model with this ability can spend
one Held Esper to remove a single existing efect marker from the table, within its line of
sight. Once the Held Esper is spent, the efect is removed.
ChanneI sper: Channelers can tap into the raw esper around them and bind it to their
use. When a model has the Channel Esper ability it gains one Held Esper every time
it is activated. Unlike other esper actions, this does not use the models action for its
activation.

sper 7hief: An Esper Thief can detect the fow of esper in a living being and siphon
it away for their own use. As an action, the model using Esper Thief selects an enemy
model within line of sight that possesses Held Esper. The acting model then takes one
Held Esper from the target. This stolen Held Esper can be used in exactly the same way
as other Held Power, including being transferred to other friendly models.
When using this ability, the acting models controller markers a single Held Esper box on
their tracker card, while the enemy models controller erases a single Held Esper from theirs.

Transfer Esper: Adept esper users can draw esper to themselves and then join their
power to that of an ally, enabling them to perform even great feats. A model with
this action can choose to transfer some or all of its Held Esper to friendly models. As
an action, the acting model can distribute any and all of its Held Esper among friendly
models; line of sight is not needed.

Relic Knights and Questing Knights are the epic heroes of the Relic Knights game. It is
around these proud warriors that the universe focuses.
Questing Knights are individuals who have only recently bonded with their cypher. They
are just beginning to master their powers and, in time, hope to prove themselves worthy
of gaining a Relic.
Relic Knights have been further empowered by their cypher with the gift of a Relic. These
death dealing constructs take the Knights already formidable powers to undreamed of
levels.
As befts models of such import, Knights have several rules which apply directly to
them and how they afect the game. In game terms Questing Knights and Relic Knights
function in exactly the same way. In practice though Relic Knights will have access to
more powerful attributes and abilities.
All Knights are linked to a specifc cypher. This will be expressed on the Knights card with
the ability, Cypher (Cyphers Name). When a Knight is recruited as part of a cadre their
named cypher is automatically gained as part of the same cadre.
Knights automatically gain one Held Esper if they can draw line of sight to their Cypher
when they begin their activation.

Esper Expression
Esper expression is an ability unique to many Knights, though not all Knights beneft
from this ability. When a Knight with this ability possesses Held Esper, they beneft from
an efect unique to that Knight. This efect scales with the amount of Held Esper the
Knight possesses. For example, Malyas Speed skill increases when she has Held Esper.
The reference card of individual Knights will detail their specifc Esper Expression abilities
if they have one.
Cyphers
Cyphers are the key to the Knights immense power. They are pure manifestations of
esper and their Knights psyche. Cyphers bond to their chosen Knight and give them
access to the untold powers of the universe. It is also cyphers who eventually gift their
Knight with the ancient constructs known as Relics, to further empower them to fght
for their cause.
Cyphers cannot be recruited for a cadre. Instead they are bonded to a specifc knight and
are added to that Knights cadre when the Knight is recruited and are included in their
Knights points cost.
A cypher cannot be targeted by any attack unless that action can specifcally be used
against cyphers. Cyphers are afected by area of efect markers, support actions, and
other efects unless otherwise specifed.
Cyphers do not possess a Health attribute and are only removed from play when their
Knight is.
Cyphers do not possess attack and defense skills and do not draw cards when making
attack and defense actions. They only use esper from their controlling players hand or
any Held Esper they possess.
Cyphers all possess the Esper Master ability as well as the Channel Esper action (listed in
the Manipulating Esper section).

ADDITIONAL RULES
Abilities
Abilities are inherent powers and talents that a model possesses that have an efect in
the game. Abilities directly afect a model during the game, such as Armor reducing
damage the model sufers. Unless otherwise specifed, abilities are always active. The
Reference section includes a small sample of the abilities found in Relic Knights. If an
abilitys efects are not listed they will be on the models reference card.
Boosts
Boosts represents the myriad forms of technology, gear, or advanced preparations a
cadre will use in the battle to come. Boosts are perks that you may purchase for your
cadre in addition to models.
Boosts are represented on the battlefeld by markers which are deployed before models.
Boost markers are 30mm in diameter and have a Size attribute of 0. Markers in no way
inhibit movement, line of sight or other in-game efects and rule, unless the text of the
Boost specifes otherwise. Like other efect markers Boosts may be removed from play
by the Esper Cleansing action.
The Faction Lists section includes a list of Boosts you may purchase for your cadre. No
cadre may purchase more than 2 of the same Boost.
Cadre Abilities
Some individuals, especially Knights, are naturally talented leaders and can coordinate
the eforts of those around them to achieve their goals. Models with a cadre ability grant
a special action or ability to models in their cadre. These granted abilities and actions are
considered printed on the cards of the afected models in the cadre. Some cadre abilities
afect all models in a cadre, while others are specifc to particular models or model types.
Cyphers cannot beneft from a cadre ability. Models with this ability do not themselves
gain the benefts associated with the cadre ability.
Forced and Free Movement
Movement is a large part of Relic Knights. Models will quickly dart across the battlefeld
as they engage their enemies and activate their powers. Movement is broken up into
two categories, forced movement and free movement. Free movement is any movement
a model makes voluntarily. When a model is moved and its owner does not get to decide
where it goes, it is considered forced movement. Any time a model ends its movement,
whether it is forced or free, it has stopped. Any time a rule refers to moving a model, it
will tell you the number of inches that it can or is forced to move.
A model cannot move through other objects on the battlefeld, unless it possesses special
rules stating otherwise (such as markers). If a model is forced into an object that it is unable
to move through, its movement ends as soon as it comes into contact with the object. See
the Terrain section for more information about terrain and how it can afect movement.

ResoIving RuIes lssues
In a perfect world no rules would ever have a mistake nor would they be interpreted in
multiple ways. Unfortunately, this is not the case and occasionally rules disagreements will
arise. In these cases frst try to solve the problem through discussion with your opponent.
If you absolutely cannot agree have each play fip the top three cards, then adds up the
total number of esper that matches their cadres afnity. The player with the highest total
chooses the interpretation to use. If both players have the same total, both players fip
another card until one player has a higher total.
Once the game is over, check the rulebook again to see if a resolution can be found. If not
we encourage you to visit our rules forums at www.sodapopminiatures.com to ask your
question or see if it has been answered via FAQ or Errata.
Sharing lnformation
Relic Knights is considered an open game. Meaning that you should make any and
all information about your cadre available to your opponent during the game. This
means they should always be able to easily see how much Health and Held Esper are
currently on a models tracker card as well as letting them read your cards to gain a
better understanding of your cadres actions and abilities. In fact, we highly encourage
both players to read, at least, their opponents Knight cards before battle. Knights have a
lot of impact on the game and battles are much more fun when both players understand
what they are facing.
Traits
Models possess qualities that defne who and what it is. Traits are used to classify the
model and explain what kind of being it is. Traits can encompass a models race, the
name of a specifc military unit it is part of, or a general archetype it encompasses. A
models traits are used to determine how it is afected by certain efects and abilities,
otherwise they are completely passive and provide no direct game efect. Examples of
traits include: Human, Marmod, Black Diamond Corp, Sword Guard, Shell, or Pit Crew.

The objects on the table that represent things like trees, buildings, hills and other
features of the battlefeld are collectively referred to as terrain. In general, pieces of

Terrain cannot be targeted by an action, sufer damage, or be destroyed.
Terrain cannot be activated or perform any action.
All terrain must be given a Size in the same manner as a model. This will determine if the
terrain blocks line of sight, how difcult it is for models to move over it, and will afect the
Armor it provides if it possesses the Cover trait. In general you can you can use the rough
guide of 1 in height equals 1 point in size. This is not a hard and fast rule though. We fnd
that it is best to go through each piece of terrain on the table with your opponent before
the game to determine its size.
Open Ground
Normal fat, unobstructed terrain is considered open ground. Open ground does not
hinder your movement in any way. The basic battlefeld is always considered open
ground, as is the horizontal surface of any piece of terrain (such as the top of a hill,
walkway, platform, or the foor of a building).
Elevation
Most terrain has an element of height to it and at some point a model will need to
traverse these vertical distances to get from the ground to the top of a Size 6 building or
move over a Size 1 barricade. In these cases vertical movement is required.
When a model encounters terrain that is smaller in Size than itself it may treat any
change in elevation as open ground, efectively ignoring the vertical distance moved.
This most often includes linear obstacles like jersey barriers, sandbags, crates, or small
leaps to the top of low platforms.
A model may also treat any change in elevation that is considered sloping or gradual as
open ground, like the edge of a hill, a ramp, or stairs.
Finally, changes of elevation that do not afect movement can be granted by specifc
features designated on the terrain, including ladders, turbo-lifts, or teleport arrays.
When a model encounters elevations that are sheer or equal in size to them or taller they
cannot simply ignore the vertical distance moved. In these cases a model must either
Climb or Scale the piece of terrain.

Climb: To make a Climb move a model must count the vertical distance they move (up
or down) in addition to any horizontal movement they make. The fnal, total, distance
moved cannot exceed the models Speed attribute for that movement.

When making a Climb move, the models vertical movement cannot exceed the models
remaining movement i.e. if you cannot reach a fat surface to place your model you
cannot make the climb. Nor can you combine your initial move with your follow-up
move to reach the top.
Example: A model with a Speed 10 initial move wishes to climb a 4 tall building. The
model spends 4 moving into contact with the building. It then spends 4 to climb to the
top of the building. Now at the top of the building it still has a remaining 2 of movement
it can use to get into better position.
Scale: Occasionally a model will be confronted by a piece of terrain so tall that they cannot
climb it. In these instances a model can Scale the terrain. To make a Scale move a model
must move into contact with the piece of terrain it wishes to scale. It must then spend both
its action and its follow-up move to scale the terrain. Place the model at the top (or bottom,
if it was scaling down) of the piece of terrain regardless of its height.
FaIIing: Of course if a model is ascending great distances there is always the risk of
plummeting to a messy end. If a model is subject to a forced move that causes them to
change elevations they sufer Falling damage as outlined below:
If a model falls from a height whose size was equal to or greater than their own size they
sufer 3 Damage.
If a model falls from a height whose size was twice their own size or greater they sufer
5 Damage.
A model will never sufer falling damage from a piece of terrain that they would not have
had to Climb or Scale. In these cases the height was either not sufcient or the slope to
gradual for them to be harmed.
Note that a model may not voluntarily cause itself to fall through normal movement or
extra free movement granted by an action.

Terrain Traits
In addition to the basic rules for interacting with terrain you may assign individual pieces
specifc traits to further enhance how it impacts the game. Each piece of terrains traits
must be defned before the game begins.
Broken Ground: The broken ground trait is used to defne terrain that causes uneven
footing or is otherwise uncommonly slow or difcult to move through. This can include
water features, particularly treacherous ruins, or even the cautious movement through
a minefeld. Models ending their action in terrain with the broken ground trait cannot
make a follow-up movement.
Cover: The cover trait is used to defne a piece of terrain that provides protection from
ranged attacks. If an object with the cover trait is between a model making a ranged
attack and its target, that target may gain cover. Cover is granted based on the size
diference between object providing cover and the target of the attack. If the size of the
cover is equal to or exceeds the size of the model, the model is considered blocked by
the cover, and the attacker cannot draw line of sight to the target. If the targets Size is
one point higher than the cover the target receives the Armor ability with a rating of 2
or has its existing Armor increased by 2. If the targets Size is two points higher than the
Size of the cover, the target receives +1 Armor. If the targets Size is three or more points
higher than that of the cover, they do not receive any bonus from the cover.
Example: Calico Kate (Size 4) is hiding behind a low wall (Size 2); Kates Size is two points
higher than that of the cover, increasing her Armor by 1. If Sebastian (Size 6) was hiding
behind the same wall, he would gain no beneft since his Size is 3 or more points higher than
that of the cover. If Skully (Size 1) was also hiding behind the same wall, enemy models could
not trace line of sight to him since the covers Size is higher than his own.
0oes Not Iock LoS: Objects with the Does Not Block LoS trait do not block line of sight.
Model: The model trait is used to defne a piece of terrain that can be destroyed and/
or perform actions. Some examples might include gun turrets, doors, random stacks of
explosives, and so on. Terrain with the model trait must have a number of health boxes
defned, and may have other special rules as well.
Special: The Special trait is a catch all for any and all special rules that apply to a object.
This is where the rules for a conveyor belt, energy shield, and anything else would go.
This does not cover all potential types of terrain, but these are the foundations you
should build your terrain rules on. Complicated terrain requires specialized rules, and
you and your opponent should strive to make the terrain on your table as interesting

Determine a Scenario
After the size of the game has been determined and each player has selected their cadre,
the players will determine their scenario. Scenarios provide players unique objectives
they must accomplish to achieve victory.
To select a scenario, one player shufes their Esper Deck and chooses a card randomly.
The primary Esper type on the card determines what scenario is played. If a wild card is
chosen, the player drawing the card chooses the scenario. If a void card is drawn, the
opposing player chooses the scenario.
Victory Conditions: Each scenario has diferent conditions that determine the winner.
Scenario details and specifc victory conditions are discussed for each scenario in the
Scenarios section.

Esper Corruption - Corruption
Wielders of esper know that it ebbs and fows across the universe, sometimes pooling
in wells of powerful energy. These wells and fows are attuned to an aspect of esper,
granting those of a like energy great power. Knights often attempt to corrupt fonts of
esper, twisting it to their own energy or snufng it out entirely.
Setup: After terrain has been placed, an objective marker is placed at the center of the
table. After the objective has been placed, players determine who will be the frst player.
The frst player is the attacker in the scenario trying to corrupt the objective and their
opponent is the defender trying to stop them. Players then deploy normally.
Objectives: Amass Power (Attacker), Wipe Them Out (Defender)
Scenario Rules: When a model is directly on top of the objective marker, it can interact
with the esper well, either corrupting or purifying it. An attacking model that has Held
Esper can take a special Interact action when it is directly on top of the objective marker.
When it does so, the acting model loses one Held Esper and the objective marker
receives one point of corruption. Likewise, a defending model that has Held Esper can
take a special Interact action when it is directly on top of the objective marker. The
defending model loses one Held Esper and one corruption point is removed from the
objective marker. This Interact action can be the only action of that models activation.
A model cannot spend more than one Held Esper at a time when interacting with the
objective marker.
Victory Conditions: The attacker achieves victory if the objective marker receives a set
amount of corruption points, determined by the size of the game (see below). If all of the
attackers models are removed from play, the defender has won the game. In addition, if
the attacker is unable to receive Held Esper by any means, the defender has won the game.

Esper Wells - Essence
An area rich in esper has been discovered and has become the focal point for a desperate
confict. Both sides hope to attune the fonts of esper to their own energy, claiming them
for themselves. Whoever is able to secure the esper wells can tap the area and increase
their power.
Setup: After terrain has been placed, an objective marker is placed at the center of the
table. Four additional objective markers are placed at regular intervals 12 away from
the center marker and 16 away from each other. These markers cannot be placed on
impassible terrain.
After the objectives have been placed, players determine who will be the frst player.
Players then deploy normally.
Objectives: Secure the Objective
Scenario Rules: Players can secure Esper Wells by moving friendly models directly on
top of an objective marker and taking a special action. When a model is on top of an
objective marker, it claims the Esper Well by taking a Secure action, which can be the
only action of that models activation. When an objective marker has been secured, the
securing player must indicate that they now have control of this objective marker.
A model can claim an objective marker that has already been secured by their opponent;
control of the marker simply switches to the claiming player. A model cannot secure an
objective marker that an enemy model is directly on top of. Unless otherwise specifed
in a models description, any model can secure objective markers.
Victory Conditions: The frst player to secure 4 of the 5 objective markers wins the
game. For this victory condition to be achieved, 4 objective markers must be claimed at
the same time by a single player.

Align the Pylons - Law
Energy pylons that power a planetary defense system have been knocked out and must
be realigned. Enemy forces move to stop those sent to repair the system, which would
force them to fee before their mission is accomplished.
Setup: After terrain has been placed, an objective marker is placed at the center of the
table. Four additional objective markers are placed at regular intervals 12 away from
the center marker and 16 away from each other. These markers cannot be placed on
impassible terrain.
After the objectives have been placed, players determine who will be the frst player. The
frst player is the attacker in the scenario trying to repair the pylons and their opponent
is the defender trying to stop them. Players then deploy normally.
Objectives: Secure the Objective (Attacker), Wipe Them Out (Defender)
Scenario Rules: Models in the attackers cadre can align a pylon by being in contact
with an objective marker and taking a special action. When a model is in contact with
an objective marker, it aligns the pylon by taking a Secure action, which can be the only
action of that models activation. A model may not make a follow-up movement after
aligning a pylon. When an objective marker has been secured, the securing player must
indicate that they now have control of this objective marker. Cyphers cannot be used to
align the pylons.
Victory Conditions: If the attacker has aligned all fve of the pylons, taking the Secure
action on all fve objectives, they with the game. If the defender is able to wipe out the
attackers forces, they are the winner.

Relic Hunt - Chaos
Clues hinting at the location of a relic have been discovered in the area, attracting treasure
hunters and knights. Both sides scramble to locate the priceless information amid the chaos
of battle. Whoever locates the information frst will be on the trail of a powerful artifact.
Setup: After terrain has been placed, six objective markers are placed on the table,
representing possible locations of the information the groups are looking for. Each player
takes it in turn placing an objective marker anywhere on the table; players randomly
determine who will deploy the frst marker. Objective markers cannot be placed within
6 another objective marker. After the objectives have been placed, players determine
who will be the frst player. Players then deploy normally.
Objectives: Scavenger Hunt
Scenario Rules: Players can investigate objective markers, searching for the information
they seek. When a model is in contact with an objective marker, it can take a special
Secure action to claim the objective; this can be the only action of that models
activation. Once an objective marker has been claimed, the player claiming the marker
fips over the top card of his deck. If the cards primary suit is Chaos, the model has
discovered the information and must quickly decipher the clues. If the cards primary
suit is not Chaos, the objective marker is discarded. If fve of the six objective markers
have been claimed, the remaining marker is automatically the true objective, there is no
need to fip a card when it is claimed.
When a model discovers the objective, they are now carrying the objective marker and
must decipher the clues and destroy the information so their enemy cannot follow them
to the relic. A model carrying the objective marker can take a special Decipher action
during its activation; this can be the only action of that models activation, though it can
move normally. A model that is removed from play automatically drops the objective
marker where the model was removed.
Other models may pick up the dropped objective marker by taking a Secure action, as
mentioned above. A model carrying the objective may transfer the objective marker to another
friendly model by moving into contact with that model and taking a Transfer action, which can
be the only action during its activation. Move the object marker into contact with this new model.
When an objective marker is transferred
or dropped, any progress made
deciphering it is lost and subsequent
models possessing the marker
(including models that previously
carried the objective) must begin
deciphering it again.
Cyphers cannot be used to secure or
decipher an objective.
Victory Conditions: When a model
carrying the objective marker makes
two decipher actions the controlling
player wins the game; they have
successfully deciphered the information
and destroy it, preventing their enemy
from gaining the location of the relic.

Tear Down the Walls - Entropy
A vital resource has been located by enemy forces and targeted for destruction. While
one side works to destroy the objective, the other works to stop them. When the dust
settles, will the objective remain standing?
Setup: When the players place terrain on the table, an objective is placed in the center of
the battlefeld. The objective can be anything the players feel is appropriate: a building,
mystic tree, wrecked spacecraft, crates, etc. The objective should be at least 2 x 2 in size.
After the objective has been placed, players determine who will be the frst player. The
frst player chooses if they would like to be the attacker, trying to destroy the objective,
or the defender trying to save it. Players then deploy normally.
Objectives: Destruction (Attacker), Wipe Them Out (Defender)
Scenario Rules: The attackers forces are attempting to destroy the objective, while the
defender is trying to prevent its destruction. The objective is considered terrain but is
subject to special rules that allow it to be targeted, sufer damage and destroyed. Any
model can choose the objective as a target for an attack. Models attacking the objective
with a ranged attack must be able to trace line of sight to any part of the objective and
models making melee attacks against the objective must be in contact with it when the
attack is made. The objective cannot be targeted by psychic attacks.
When the objective is attacked, the attacker initiates the attack as normal. The objective
does not have a defense and, after the attack is initiated, the attacker draws cards for
their attack and is able to press as normal. The objective has the ability Armor and a
Health score, both of which are determined by the game type (see below). The objective
may be subject to area efects that even partially includes the objective in its area.
Victory Conditions: The game ends when the objective is destroyed or the attacker has
no models remaining on the battlefeld. If the attacker is able to reduce the objectives
Health to zero, they claim victory. If the defender is able to wipe out the attackers forces,
they are the winner.

Vital Resources - Creation
Though knights and their cadres most often clash over esper wells, powerful relics and
other sources of esper, there is still a need for vital resources such as food and other
supplies. These items are always in demand and needed to help the knights forces to
continue to grow and prosper. Occasionally, two knights clash over such resources,
trying desperately to gather as much as possible before their enemies.
Setup: After terrain has been placed, four objective markers are placed on the table. Two
markers represent caches of supplies; the other two markers are used to denote drop-
of points that players are trying to deliver supplies. One marker is placed 6 in from the
center of each table edge. Markers of the same type are placed directly across from one
another, so the two markers used as drop-of points are placed on opposite table edges.
After the objective markers have been placed, the frst player is determined normally.
Before deploying, the frst player determines which drop-of point will be under their
control. Players then deploy normally.
Objectives: Supplies
Scenario Rules: During the game, models must interact with the caches of supplies,
picking up supplies and delivering them to their drop-of point. When a model is
directly on top of a supply cache, it can take a special Interact action to claim some of
the supplies. When supplies are claimed the acting model gains a supply marker, the
objective marker is not removed and remains in play. A model may claim supplies from
either objective marker, though they may only carry a single supply marker at a time.
A model can drop a carried supply marker at any time during their activation, which
does not use an action. Supply markers are also dropped if a model takes damage or
is removed from the game for any reason. Dropped supply markers are placed on the
battlefeld where they were dropped. A model can pick up a dropped supply marker as
detailed above.
A model carrying a supply marker can take a special Interact action to deliver their
supply marker to their drop-of point; this can be the only action of that models
activation. Supply markers can only
be delivered to that models drop-of
point and the acting model must be
directly on top of the objective marker
designated as their drop-of point.
Once a supply marker has been placed
at a drop-of point, it can no longer be
interacted with.
Cyphers cannot be used to interact
with an objective.
Victory Conditions: When a player
has collected fve supply markers at
their drop-of point, they win the game.

Scenario Objectives
Amass Power: The player with this objective must accumulate points, most often by
interacting with an objective marker. A model in contact with the objective marker can
take the Interact action, which will earn the player a point. Sometimes these points are
held on the objective marker, other times they are held by the player. When the player
gains the specifed number of points, they win.
Destruction: The player with this objective must destroy one or more models, generally
special pieces of terrain. The terrain will have a Health attribute and may also possess
abilities such as Armor. When the target of this objective has its Health reduced to zero,
it is destroyed. Efect markers that infict damage will afect these objectives, but only
when they frst contact the terrain.
Scavenger Hunt: The player with this objective must locate something hidden on the
battlefeld. Generally, there will be a number of objective markers scattered over the
battlefeld. When a model is in contact with an objective marker, it can take a special
Secure action to claim the objective; this can be the only action of that models
activation. Once an objective marker has been claimed, the player claiming the marker
fips over the top card of his deck. If the cards primary suit is Chaos, the model has
discovered the true objective. If the cards primary suit is not Chaos, the objective marker
is discarded. If all but one of the objective markers have been claimed, the remaining
marker is automatically the true objective, there is no need to fip a card when it is
claimed. Often, players will have to hold on to the true objective, deliver it to a specifc
location or take additional actions with the true objective after it has been found.
Secure the Objective: The player with this
objective must take control of one or more
objective markers. In order to take control
of the objective, the player must place one
of their models in contact with the objective
marker and take the Secure action. Cyphers
cannot be used to secure objectives.
Supplies: The player with this objective must
gather a number of supplies. Supply markers
can be picked up with an Interact action and
then carried by models, usually to a point on
the battlefeld where they can be dropped.
A model can only carry one supply marker
at a time and drop supply markers if they are
removed from the battlefeld.
Wipe Them Out: The player with this objective
must completely eradicate the enemys forces,
removing all opposing models from the
battlefeld as casualties.

Act As One: Models with Act As One function as a single unit but are comprised of three
models. The three models share a single set of attributes and skills. A single tracker card
is used to represent the unit on the Dashboard. Any damage applied to any member of
the unit is applied to the unit as a whole. When the units Health has been reduced to
zero, all models from the unit are removed.
When the unit activates, every model in the unit can be moved as part of the units
initial and follow-up movement. Each model uses the Speed attribute listed on the units
reference card for its individual movement. Each model must complete its movement in
a particular phase before another model in the unit is moved.
During the units activation, only one action can be taken. Some actions can only be
taken by certain models in the unit. Held Esper can be used in actions taken by any
member of the unit.
Armor [X]: This ability represents a models natural resistance to damage sufered from nearly
any source. A model with this ability gains a free soak against any damage dealt to them; this
does not require an action on the part of the defender and stacks with any additional soaks the
model may have. Actions and abilities that ignore soaks likewise ignore armor.
Coordinated Fire: When a model with this ability inficts damage on an enemy with a
ranged attack, the damage is increased by one for each additional friendly model that has
line of sight to the target and possesses this ability. A model cannot contribute its bonus
damage if it is in contact with an enemy model.
Cumbersome: During its activation, this model can move or perform an action, not both.
Defensive Formation: When this model is Ready increase all of its Defense skills by 1.
Esper Initiate: A model with this ability has increased control over esper and gains the
Transfer Esper action described in the Manipulating Esper section.
Esper Master: With this ability, a model has near total control over the esper around them.
A model with this ability gains the Esper Cleansing, Esper Thief and Transfer Esper actions.
Fly: A model with this ability ignores objects during any free movement.
Force Field: When a model with this ability is idle, they automatically Soak 2 points of
damage from any attack.

Lifeleech: When a model with this ability removes another model as a casualty, it heals
3 Health.
Linked (Model): Linked models are able to activate right after the model with the link
fnishes its activation and before your opponent takes his activation. A model must be
Idle in order to activate from being linked.
Looter: When a model with this ability takes an action to claim an objective, it can
immediately move 4.
Mob Rule: When a model with this ability inficts damage on an enemy, the damage
is increased by one for each additional friendly model with this ability in contact with
the enemy. Thus, if a model with Mob Rule inficts three points of damage to an enemy
surrounded by two additional models with this ability, the damage is increased by two.
Multiple Copies: Though this being is a unique individual, through some unusual means
there is more than one copy of them running around in the universe. A player may have
any number of copies of a model with this ability, even though they are not minions.
Psychic Immunity: Due to mystical shielding, lack of a soul or other factors, some
beings are unafected by psychic phenomena. A model with this ability cannot be the
target of any psychic attack.
Speed Trap: Models that begin their activation in contact with this model cannot make
their initial move.
Stealth: A model with this ability is always considered hidden when not actively
participating in a battle. When a model with this ability is Idle, they cannot be targeted
by ranged or psychic attacks, nor can line of sight be traced to the model. An Idle model
with this ability can still be engaged in close combat normally. As soon as a model with
this ability is made Ready, it loses the benefts of Stealth until it once again becomes Idle.
[Esper Type] Initiate: A model with this ability has some rudimentary skill manipulating
one of the six types of esper. A model with this ability is considered to have the Esper
Initiate ability and gains access to any Tier 1 General Actions associated with the listed
type of esper. Thus, a model that is a Chaos Initiate has access to all Tier 1 Chaos actions
from the listed General Actions.
[Esper Type] Master: Models with this ability have delved deeper into the mysteries of esper
and are now considered masters of one of the six types of esper. A model with this ability is
considered to have the Esper Master ability and gains access to all Tier 1 and Tier 2 General
Actions associated with the listed type of esper. For example, a model with the Chaos Master
ability has access to all Tier 1 and Tier 2 Chaos actions from the listed General Actions.
Reave: When a model with this ability removes another model as a casualty, it gains 1
Held Esper.
Unstoppable: After this model is subject to forced movement, move this model 2.
