Dwarves (Vagha)

Eldest child of Nature, Eldurim fashioned beasts of clay and rock and the bones of the earth, and his sister Firiel scorched them with her fiery embrace – tempering them with heat and passion. And so were born the mysterious Androsphinx, the hideous Gargoyle, the two-headed Roc, and the misshapen Umber Hulk.

Eldurim loved his children, thinking them perfect in every way, but Firiel despised them, thinking them clumsy and wooden. So Eldurim challenged his sister to create her own child, and he gave Firiel his own unformed bones of earth to shape.

Firiel took the earth and molded it, imbuing more and more of her strength into this child of hers. It grew to monstrous size, its temper matching the heat of its body. It defied its mother and escaped the confines of its father, fleeing to the deepest bowels of the earth. They called it Behemoth, and now it rules the underworld with terror.

Firiel bowed her head in shame at her mistake, and she asked her brother's pardon. Eldurim, as always, gave it, and together they brought forth the Vagha.

SAI Effects
Bash
Dragon Attack, Save* During a save roll against a melee attack, target one unit from the attacking army. The targeted unit takes damage equal to the melee results it generated. The targeted unit must make a save roll against this damage. Bash also generates save results equal to the targeted unit's melee results.

During other save rolls, Bash generates X save results.

During a dragon attack choose an attacking dragon that has inflicted damage. That dragon takes damage equal to the amount of damage it did. Bash also generates save results equal to the damage the chosen dragon did.
Bullseye
Dragon Attack, Missile During a missile attack, target X health-worth of units in the defending army. The targets make a save roll. Those that do not generate a save result are killed. Roll this unit again and apply the new result as well.

During a dragon attack, Bullseye generates X missile results.
Cantrip
Magic, Non-Maneuver During a magic action or Magic Negation (Frostwings) roll, Cantrip generates X magic results.

During other non-maneuver rolls, Cantrip generates X magic results that only allow you to cast spells marked as 'Cantrip' from the spell list.
Charge
Melee* During a melee attack, the attacking army counts all Maneuver results as if they were Melee results. Instead of making a regular save roll or a counter-attack, the defending army makes a combination save and melee roll. The attacking army takes damage equal to these melee results. Only save results generated by spells may reduce this damage. Charge has no effect during a counter-attack.
Confuse
Melee, Missile During a melee or missile attack, target up to X health-worth of units in the defending army after they have rolled for saves. Re-roll the targeted units, ignoring all previous results.

Note: Confuse works outside of the normal sequence of die roll resolution, applying its effect immediately after the defending army makes its save roll but before they resolve any re-roll effects or SAIs.
Counter
Dragon Attack, Melee, Save* During a save roll against a melee attack, Counter generates X save results and inflicts X damage upon the attacking army. Only save results generated by spells may reduce this damage.

During any other save roll, Counter generates X save results.

During a melee attack, Counter generates X melee results.

During a dragon attack, Counter generates X save and X melee results.
Dispel Magic
Special Whenever any magic targets this unit, the army containing this unit or the terrain this unit occupies, you may roll this unit after all spells are announced but before any are resolved. If the Dispel Magic icon is rolled, negate all unresolved magic that targets or effects this unit, its army or the terrain it occupies. No other icons have any effect during this special roll. Magic targeting other units, armies, or terrains is unaffected by this SAI.
Fly
Any During any roll, Fly generates X maneuver or X save results.
Rend
Dragon Attack, Maneuver, Melee During a melee or dragon attack, Rend generates X melee results. Roll this unit again and apply the new result as well.

During a maneuver roll, Rend generates X maneuver results.
Roar
Melee During a melee attack, target up to X health-worth of units in the defending army. The targets are immediately moved to their Reserve Area before the defending army rolls for saves.

During a dragon attack, Smite generates X melee results.
