Roll	Favour	Patron
2	Favour 2. The Schola Progenium quartermaster stands with the strike — the storekeeper who issues the Progenium's best to those who earn it. While this patron favours your gang, once per battle you may re-roll a single failed Ammo test on a hot-shot weapon, the quartermaster having kept your fighters in fresh charge-packs. He expects the kit returned as well-used as it was issued.	the Schola Progenium quartermaster (elite kit issued at cost to the storm-troopers who earn it)
3	Favour 3. A sanctioned Munitorum supply-drop answers your requisition — a canister of standard kit dropped to the strike between insertions. While this patron stands with your gang, you may begin each battle with one extra frag or krak grenade issued free to a fighter of your choice. The Munitorum asks only that the paperwork be filed; the Tempestus rarely bothers, and the drops come anyway.	a sanctioned Munitorum supply-drop (standard kit dropped to the strike between insertions)
4	Favour 4. The Schola's surgeons stand with the strike — the Progenium keeps its finest in the field by mending them fast. While this patron favours your gang, once per post-battle sequence you may re-roll a single Lasting Injury result on a Scion, the surgeons pulling a fighter back from a wound that would have ended a lesser soldier. The Schola tends what it has already made; it does not waste it.	the Schola's surgeons (the finest cannot be cheaply replaced, so they are cheaply repaired)
5	Favour 5. An Inquisitorial requisition writ is pressed into the officer's hand — the Ordos lend the strike a favour, and expect it called in for their own ends later. While this patron stands with your gang, once per campaign you may ignore the Rare or Illegal restriction on a single hot-shot or special-weapon requisition. The Inquisition's seal opens doors; what it asks in return is left unwritten, and always paid.	an Inquisitorial requisition writ (the Ordos lend the strike a favour it can call in)
6	Favour 6. The drop-fleet armoury answers — the void-crews who rig the strike's insertion gear issue a fresh piece to the cell. While this patron favours your gang, you may equip one fighter with a grav-chute or a target-designator free of charge for the coming battle, drawn from the fleet's stores. The riggers take pride in a clean drop; give them one.	the drop-fleet armoury (a fresh grav-chute or designator issued to the strike)
7	Favour 7. A veteran Tempestor lends the strike his tutelage — an old officer who has led more drops than the cell has fought battles. While this patron stands with your gang, one fighter of your choice may add +1 to a single Advancement roll this post-battle sequence, drilled sharper by a master of the insertion. The veteran teaches only those who listen; the rest he lets learn the hard way.	a veteran Tempestor's tutelage (an officer teaches the strike a sharper drill)
8	Favour 8. The Schola's honour-roll opens to the strike — a place on the Progenium's list of its finest, earned in blood and precision. While this patron favours your gang, you gain bonus Reputation for each enemy Leader or Champion your gang takes Out of Action this battle, the Schola crediting the cell for every hard kill. A name on the roll is not given; it is worked down to, one confirmed target at a time.	the Schola's honour-roll (the gang's Reputation buys a name onto the list of the finest)
9	Favour 9. An Ordo Xenos ammunition tithe reaches the strike — a case of targeted rounds cut for the hardest quarry the Inquisition can name. While this patron stands with your gang, once per battle a single hot-shot attack may treat its target as having no cover and no invulnerable-cover bonus, the specialist load finding a fighter that thought itself hidden. The Ordo tithes the rounds freely; it expects them spent on the things it fears.	an Ordo Xenos ammunition tithe (targeted rounds for the strike's hardest job)
10	Favour 10. A Lord Commissar's commendation falls on the strike — the highest patron the Schola offers, marking the cell for greater work. While this patron favours your gang, once per campaign you may summon the Lord Commissar to the field as a Dramatis Persona for a single battle, the Schola's cold iron made legend fighting at the strike's side. His attention is an honour and a warning both: the finest are watched most closely of all.	a Lord Commissar's commendation (the Schola's highest patron marks the strike for greater work)
