Disciples of Hashut Heroes

Gorduz Backstabber

All fame is fleeting and all glory ultimately fades away. The renown of the Hobgoblin Chieftains tends to fade away more quickly than most, usually with the help of a dagger, poison or 'nasty accident'. Gorduz Backstabber has outlived most of the other tribal leaders thanks to a naturally distrustful disposition and lashings of low cunning. He has also been lucky as the hardened scar tissue that criss-crosses his massive bony shoulder hump testifies. Fated... Lucky... Sneaky! Call it what you will, Gorduz Backstabber has an enduring talent for survival. In battle, Gorduz wears light armour and carries a shield and axe, and rides a Giant Wolf into the fray.

Abilities

• Crooked Dice
  Anything that prevents you from killing your opponents in a fit of bad-loser's pique on more than one occasion, and then having to clear up the mess yourself afterwards, is a good thing. Now, the odds *always* swing in your favour.

  Leadership +8
• Wounds
  Even the greatest foes can be laid low with terrible injuries, and the greater the damage done, the less able they will be to effectively continue the fray.

Attributes

• Encourage
  This unit provides a leadership bonus to nearby allies. Units within range of both the Lord's aura and an encouraging unit will receive the larger of the two bonuses.
• Hide (forest)
  This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Lucky Git
  When Gorduz's health is low, he has a chance to regain some of his hit points.
• Shielded
  Shields have a chance of blocking arrows, bolts, rifle shots and similar small arms fire - but only in a forward facing arc.
