Enemy Dossier

GM Reference

An Aeldari Ranger is a patient xenos marksman who turns distance, concealment, and arrogance into a kill pattern. Imperial troops usually learn of their presence after the officer falls.

// Battlefield Use

Use this enemy when the party needs to fear open sightlines, exposed leaders, or moving without smoke and counter-sniper pressure.

// Threat Profile

Threat Profile: Low durability, high precision, strong stealth, dangerous opening attack, prefers withdrawal over fair combat.

// Signature Traits

Patient Angle. If the Ranger has not moved, its first shot against an exposed target gains +2 to hit.

Ghost Withdrawal. When bloodied, the Ranger may move toward concealment without provoking Reactive Fire from targets it has not attacked this round.

// Signature Actions

Long Rifle Shot. High-accuracy ranged attack that punishes Exposed targets.

Mark the Officer. Marks a visible leader or support character; the next attack against that target gains +1 to hit.

Morale: Withdraws if pinned, flanked, or denied sightlines. Rarely fights to the death unless guarding something sacred.
