Sub-Plots2

The Deathless. The Legion of the Damned answers Out of Action not with Lasting Injuries but with its own Damnation table: a fallen Damned rolls on it after each battle, far more likely to return to your roster than any mortal, and only rarely laid finally to rest. This sub-plot resolves when your gang has fought a set span of the campaign — five battles is the usual measure — with its roster neither grown by recruitment, which it cannot do, nor fallen below its starting number, the dead returning faster than they are lost.

Claim it, and the Deathless is proven: your gang gains a permanent Reputation bonus, and for the rest of the campaign a Damned that the Damnation table would remove for good is instead only retired for a single battle before returning. The Legion becomes what it claims to be — a force that does not diminish. This sub-plot can be claimed only once per campaign.

The Long Damnation. At the campaign's start your Legion fixes upon a single purpose — a foe to purge, a taint to burn out, a debt of damnation to answer — and pursues it without deviation. The sub-plot resolves when your gang has won a battle against that declared purpose on three separate worlds or districts, the dead carrying the same cold intent from place to place without ever turning aside or explaining why.

When it is answered, the long damnation pays out: your gang gains a permanent Reputation bonus, may re-roll one Damnation table result per battle thereafter as the warp's purpose keeps its servants in the fight, and one fighter earns a free Legendary Name for its part in the great work. This sub-plot can be claimed only once per campaign.
