Scientific Items
URL Copied!

Leonardo is neither a general nor a wizard. He is a scientist, and his genius is illuminated by the light of reason and method, not superstition! Therefore, Leonardo does not have magic items. Instead he has Scientific Items, reflecting his expertise as an inventor and investigator. These items are not affected by anything that normally affects or negates magic items.

Sphere of Alchemy

Leonardo dabbles in alchemy and has mixed up a powder which he has enclosed in a bronze orb. When thrown, the orb cracks and the powder explodes on contact with the air, creating a small blast.

One use only. The Sphere have the following profile:

6"3-

If Leonardo hits, use the small template to determine the blast area. If Leonardo misses his target, the orb is assumed to have exploded prematurely, fallen in the mud or bounced off someone's helmet and has no effect.

Prism of Power

Leonardo has a specially shaped glass prism which uses purely physical properties of refraction to diffuse any kind of energy flowing over the battlefield. The effect of this is to steal the winds of magic from the opposing side and dissipate the energy, just as if it were rays of light from the sun.

The Prism of Power may be used in any of your opponent's Magic phases after determining the Winds of Magic and channelling rolls for that turn. Roll a D6; on a 4+, Leonardo may remove 1 Power dice from the opponent's pool.

Compass of Meteoric Silver

Leonardo has a special compass with a direction arrow made from meteoric silver. This will point to the greatest concentration of magic on the battlefield.

At the start of the battle, your opponent must tell which of their units contains the highest number of magic items.
