Sub-Plots2

The Marked List. When a single friendly officer has personally taken three enemy Leaders or Champions Out of Action across separate campaign battles, it has kept a list — names worked down one at a time, each crossed off in blood — and this sub-plot is claimed.

Once per battle thereafter, at deployment, that officer may nominate one enemy Leader or Champion as marked. The first friendly hot-shot attack against that fighter each round treats it as having no cover and -1 to its save. The reward is claimed once per campaign, and the names on the list only grow.

The Schola's Investment. When the gang has ended three separate campaign battles with every fighter it fielded surviving — no Scion taken Out of Action and left unrecovered — it has kept a strike team perfectly intact across a season, and the Schola takes notice.

The Progenium judges the cell worth further investment. The gang may permanently promote one Scion Aspirant to a full Tempestus Scion at no credit cost, and once per campaign may recover a Scion from a fatal injury as though it had survived. The reward is claimed once per campaign — the finest are not mustered cheaply, and the Schola protects what it has already made.
