Corpse Counts

• The Corpse Counts may freely be accessed by all players
• For every model that dies on the table top, the Corpse Counts increase.
• When ever a Corpse Count is used to create undead, the count used is reduced by the number of undead created.

Fresh Corpse Count

• Most living models will add to the Fresh Corpse Count when they die. This includes all Common Races as well as some others, such as Falmer.
• The Fresh Corpse Count may be used to create "fleshy" undead (Zombies, Mummies, Bonewalkers, etc.).

Decayed Corpse Count

• When a fleshy undead model dies, it adds to the Decayed Corpse Count.
• The Decayed Corpse Count may be used to create skeletal undead (Skeletons, Skeleton Champions, Bonelords, etc.).
• Skeletal undead do not add to the Corpse Counts when slain.

Wizard's Staff is a staff which lets its bearer reroll 1 Power Die per game turn(you must abide by the second result).

Magic Items

The Magic Items available to Warriors of Elsweyr are sorted into several categories. Classes of weapons, staves, light armor, heavy armor, and shields may only be taken by a model which is holding that type of item, and replaces the one he is holding. A model may take up to 3 consumables. Other items can be taken freely. Certain items may be further restricted to a particular model. Daedric Artifacts are included in the Artifacts supplement of the Core Rules, and are taken wherever specified for a model.

Items listed as upgrades are enchantments that may be taken as a bonus on a weapon that has not already been enchanted; their cost is in addition to any other costs for the item. Items not listed as upgrades are replacements; their full cost is whatever amount is marked, and they may not be upgraded further. (Replacements are only available to models which could take that class of item to begin with).

Armor and Shields
