Ameratsu heal spell
« on: September 29, 2005, 10:24:37 PM »
The High Priest Ameratsu has a spell to heal models.
Question: Can she only heal wounds or can she even reanimate models like a medic?
I think she cannot, because it is not mentioned in the text.
In the medic  SA it is especially writen, that he can reanimate models.
Beside of that, Ameratsu would be far to good.
Am I right?

I assume you're talking about Spiritual Renewal, from the Shirii Temple List.

No, the spell only restores Wounded models, it does not revive dead ones.

It's still ridiculously usefull given the high number of multi wound models some of the Mish forces have.

It seems to me that the models which have taken their last wound are considered merely incapacited until the end of the round, with regard to healing. For me this is exactly the same as the medic special ability, only it works better (higher level ;o).

Hey Joe, did n't the FAQ team decide she can only heal one model for one wound per turn?

Amatersu's power "Spiritual Renewal" should be fairly simple to apply. If a model takes a wound and she successfully channels this power and is in base to base contact, she may restore a wound. If she does this to a wounded multi-wound model it heals a wound. Same if she does it herself. If a trooper falls incapacitated (ie takes its last wound) and she has not activated yet that turn, she could restore a wound to it as well.

An incapacitated model that is not healed by the current turns conclusion is removed from play as a casualty. She may channel this power as often as she has actions to do so. Thus a two wound model that is incapacitated to 0 wounds could have Amaterasu spend one action to move into base contact, spend another action to channel this power and heal a wound, and spend her last action to channel it again to restore the second wound.

Is this an offical answer? Damn Ameratsu is to good. Broken model.
A Medic has to role a four. She has to role a 10 or 12, I'm not sure.
Far to good.
Can this be? In the discription of "Spritual Renewal" there isn't anywere printed, that she can do this to incapacitated models.

E. Prime did write the book after all.

Yeah I've seen her do exactly that.  She was fielded with several of those multi wound snipers and she kept them going for ages.  That was a darned hard game, too bad the Tekrons liked all those multi wound meat shields.

Ameratsu translates to sniper bait then I take it?  ;D

That or, as in my case, is subject to a Tekron beatdown.  It's a shame her leadership is so high, she woulda made a nice meatshield.

Amaterasu has many roles depending on your style of play. I have seen her used to heal troops and I have seen her used to command and attack. Broken, not at all. That word is far too easily bandied about. She is competent and an individual. Sniper bait, absolutely. No model is unbeatable, you just have to anticipate the enemy. That said, watch out for her. :)
