Death Cult Assassin

Death Cult Assassin is an origin limited to a specific companion, Kibellah, and unavailable to choose for the Rogue Trader.

The assassins of the death cult that has formed in the depths of the von Valancius flagship are sworn to their duty of serving the Undying Emperor. Their movements in combat are akin to a dance with death, the blades in their hands are weapons of faith, the act of killing is their sacred mission, and the blood they spill and draw becomes a ritual offering to Him.

Key Abilities

Ability	AP Cost	Range	Description
Raining Blood	1	Self	The Death Cult assassin's next single-target melee attack splashes blood in a 5-cell cone behind the target. The Death Cult assassin and allies in the affected area gain the bloodblessed effect. Every enemy in this area, including the initial target, suffers the bloodstained effect. Both effects last for 2 rounds. Additionally, all the cells in the affected area are now covered in blood for 2 rounds. Whenever a creature interacts with such a cell (moves there or stands there at the moment when the effect is applied), it receives an additional +1 stack of the bloodblessed or bloodstained effect accordingly. Additionally, for every 10 wounds the Death Cult assassin loses throughout the entire combat, each creature affected by bloodblessed or bloodstained gains +1 stack of the corresponding effect.
