Stone of Survival
Confrontation 3 Revision
The Stone of Survival holds 2 neutral gems at the beginning of the game. During every mystic phase a mana recovery roll is made as if the Stone were an Initiate with a POW of 2. This roll cannot be modified in any way.
The Stone of Survival’s power can be triggered right before the Initiative test preceding a combat in which its bearer is involved. For every 2 neutral gems spent the bearer gains one defense die. The dice gained in this way must be identified (by using dice of a different color), for it is not possible to do counter-attacks with them (not even thanks to the “Ambidextrous” ability).
Game effects that force the fighter to place all his combat dice in attack do not affect the defense dice granted by the Stone of Survival. And these dice cannot be cancelled by any game effect whatsoever.
The Stone of Survival is a unique artifact reserved to the Characters of the goblin pirate clan.
