Battle form icons appear on skill lines, abilities, and weapon ( ) items. During an engage action, the adventurer’s battle form limits the dice that can be rolled together and sets the adventurer’s range.

• Light Weapon ( ): Adjacent only. This form represents melee engages using single-handed skills, such as One Hand and Shield.

• Heavy Weapon ( ): Adjacent only. This form represents melee engages using double-handed skills, such as Two Handed.

• Defensive ( ): No range. This form represents using the Combat skill to prevent damage instead of deal it, or setting up other defensive skills such as Heavy Armor.

• Ranged Weapon ( ): Non-Adjacent Up to Max Stamina Stat. This represents ranged engages using skills such as Bow. Adjacent units cannot be targeted in this form, but range is counted as normal. For example, an adventurer in with 3 Stamina can target units 2 or 3 hexes away, but not adjacent units.

• Magic ( ): Up to Max Magicka Stat. This represents engages using Magicka, such as Destruction Staff. Combat dice cannot be gathered to roll with this form.

Note: When dice from skill lines with no battle form are rolled, their range is specified by each ability’s text or, if unspecified, must follow the range of your current battle form.

Weapons and Battle Form

Weapons ( ) are a sub-type of item card with 1 or more battle form icons and text abilities. You can use only 1 item during each engage action. To do so:

• Its ability’s battle form icon must match your current battle form.

• You must choose that ability (and whether to also trigger its overtax ability) during the Gather and Roll Dice Step, before rolling dice.
