Scout

(Passive)

During deployment, Scouts can be placed anywhere on the battlefield, even outside of their camp’s deployment zone or in that of their opponents.

Yet it is not permitted to deploy a Scout within less than 10 cm of an opponent. The opposite is, however, permitted, but it is forbidden to place a fighter directly into contact with a Scout.

If, at the end of deployment, a Scout is further than 10 cm from any opponent, then he is considered to be hidden. As long as a Scout remains hidden he cannot be the direct target of any effects (assault, shot, spell, miracle, etc.). He can nevertheless be affected by zone effects.

A Scout is no longer considered to be hidden as soon as an enemy ends his activation within a radius of 10 cm around him. A fighter who spots a Scout in this way cannot target him immediately, yet a different fighter who is activated later on (even during the same turn being played) can do so. A Scout is also spotted if he does one of the following actions:

• Assault
• Fire
• Cast a spell
• Call a miracle
• Use the <Rallying Cry> ability

<Leadership / X> applies as usual, even if the fighter endowed with it is a hidden Scout.
