Water 9 bless?

Hm, I was testing it using Tien Chi, I guess one of the priests must have casted quickness.

So they -do- get extra attacks - its just only listed under movement?

Hmm...

No, they get two things:
1. A 50% increase in movement, listed under movement
2. A 50% chance of getting an extra action, checked each round, not listed anywhere.

I'm not sure whether the "extra action" in question includes movement(meaning they've a 50% chance of moving thrice their base movement), I imagine it doesn't. Should be easy enough to test, just start your blessed, low-movement troops at the back of the battlefield, and see if any of them move twice as fast as the rest in a particular round.

Was that just a poorly written line - or do you really mean they do not get extra attacks, and that the only change is not listed under movement?

the have a 50% chance each round of getting an extra action AND they always have a 50% movement increase

A movement increase is one thing, which is listed under movement. A 50% chance of getting an extra action is another thing, which isn't listed. It really isn't all that complex.

The only thing I'm uncertain of is whether this "extra action" consists of a full move-and-attack, or just an attack.

i think its just attack (ever seen a very fast unit with a w9 bless+heroic quickness?)

[Vicious Love]

Frightening stuff, that. Never hurts to combine it with regular Quickness, either.

which is why a f9 w9 bless is so effective

W9 as I understand it:

Turn 1: Unit moves and (potentially) attacks twice.
Turn 2: Unit moves and (potentially) attacks once.
Turn 2n+1: Unit moves and (potentially) attacks twice.
Turn 2n+2: Unit moves and (potentially) attacks once.


My understanding is that regardless of the listed AP, the number of moves a unit makes per turn never changes. However, every other combat phase the unit gets two turns - deterministically, not randomly.
