Companion Host Banners and Heralds Inspiring

Postby Brightblade » Fri May 12, 2023 6:14 pm

Rob,

As per my question on Whatsapp.

If a General has a Companion Host Herald or Host Banner Bearer in his unit can the Herald or Banner Bearer perform an Inspire action that affects that unit even with the General having a Higher Authority.

As they are the Generals trusted companions I would argue that that could, the Generals unit would look for inspiration from their leader or his most trusted aids.

I'm looking at this from the War Engine point of view, if the General leads his most awe inspiring unit and has his trusted aids with him and they respectively have Artefacts that only a Host Banner Bearer or Host Herald can take then shouldn't they be able to inspire the unit using those arefacts as by their exclusive nature they would be awe inspiring in there own right.

Currently that is not allowed, the general has the higher AUTHORITY so he can't be Inspired by warriors with lower AUTHORITY than his own.

Yeah, that's a bit silly. I'll get something sorted with the errata.
