Talismans of Ulric
URL Copied!

The following items can only be chosen by Priests of Ulric and Ar-Ulric. Their value counts towards the bearer's maximum points allowance for magic items. However, they are not magical per se, and items or spells that have a special effect against magic items will not affect them. Unlike magic items you may include more than one of each item, even multiple items of the same type on a single Priest.

Amber Fang(Talisman)35 points

The most favoured priests are gifted by Ar-Ulric with the incisor of a white wolf set into an amber medallion as a symbol of their faith and service.

A Priest carrying an Amber Fang can use an additional Prayer in each Magic phase. He may only successfully use each Prayer once. A Priest may only use one additional Prayer; there is no further bonus for additional Amber Fangs.

Ice Dagger(Talisman)30 points

The Ice Dagger is not a weapon, but an icon of Ulric as the savagery of the piercing winter chill. It is usually worn on a chain around the neck.

The Ice Dagger is a powerful icon of Ulric's wrath, and the Priest draws strength from the faith and courage of those around him. The Priest bearing the Ice Dagger may add the current rank bonus of the unit he accompanies to the Power Level of his Prayers. The rank bonus may only be added once; there is no further bonus for additional Ice Daggers.

Fang of the Winter Wolf(Talisman)25 points

A Fang of the Winter Wolf is a tooth taken from one of the largest wolves of the Drakwald Forest and blessed by Ar-Ulric himself. They are said to be potent talismans, and possession of one instils a priest with supreme confidence.

One use only. Before using a Prayer, a Priest of Ulric may declare he is using his Fang of the Winter Wolf. The Prayer counts as being cast with Irresistible Force, in the same way as a magic spell cast with two dice rolls of 6.

Shard of Skoll(Talisman)15 points

Skoll is a legendary wolf from Teutogen folklore, the companion of Ulric himself who chases away the sun to allow the onset of winter. The Shards of Skoll, relics kept in bronze or iron amulets, are said to be fragments of the great wolf's claws and fangs.

The Shard adds +1 to the score of every dice rolled when making a Dispel attempt, up to a maximum of 6. Note that this makes automatic failure impossible, and automatic success far more likely. Only one Shard can be used against a single spell. If the Dispel attempt was successful, the Shard is destroyed, shattered by the magic it absorbs, but otherwise it can be retained and used again.

Wolfshead Emblem(Talisman)10 points

The wolf's head is the most archetypal symbol of Ulric. Before a campaign the Priests of Ulric will bless many Wolfshead Emblems, such as medallions and brooches, with the power to ward away sorcery.

One use only. Before making a Dispel attempt, the player can declare he is using a Wolfshead Emblem. This allows him to roll one extra dice for the Dispel attempt. You do not necessarily have to use any of the army's normal Dispel dice - you may choose to use only the Wolfshead Emblem's dice, and more than one Emblem may be used against a spell if you wish.
