Clan Steel ViperOverview: Favoring lightning warfare, the Steel Vipers were at once both a powerful rapier and a frustrating variable. Once committed to battle, the Vipers under Khan Kinnison focused on the destruction of their primary objective, oftentimes ignoring everything else -- from bypassing enemy strongpoints or paying no heed to flanking forces (which others would be forced to contend with) to rushing headlong into the thick of battle in dangerous terrain or weather conditions. Their lack of fear brought them outstanding success, though at a high cost -- both to them as well as their allies.
Abilities: Clan Steel Viper may Force the Initiative and use Overrun Combat. Additionally, so long as a Viper unit uses its maximum movement (either its maximum run/flank MPs, not counting any available due to MASC, or its maximum Jump MPs) and its target is in medium or short range, the Viper warrior makes ranged weapon attacks at a -1 to-hit modifier (this bonus is not available at a weapon's long range or for physical attacks). The Steel Vipers will conduct a bid prior to battle when they are alone or in conjunction with another Clan that will also bid; in this case, the Clan force receives a +1 Initiative modifier. Furthermore, so long as all Steel Viper warriors involved in the battle utilize and follow
zellbrigen (see pp. 274-275,
TW), they receive an additional +1 Initiative modifier.
While there are other Khans who are just as strident a follower of Nicholas Kerensky's vision, Ellie Kinnison is the most militant about it. She does not suffer those about her that do not show a deep commitment to Kerensky's ideals, and especially to her Clan. She is also something of a berserker; unafraid of the dying in battle, she willingly wades into the thick of combat. Whenever Kinnison does so, her warriors follow, keeping her secure; in any turn where Kinnison begins within 5 hexes of 2 or more enemy units, her force receives a -2 Initiative modifier, but gains a +1 to-hit modifier to all attacks.
After a long and distinguished career, Antonius Zalman's health began to fail; he thus receives a -2 to-hit modifier to all physical skills, and there is a 25% chance that he will be unavailable for an assignment (roll 2D6; if both dice are 3 or less, Zalman is unavailable). He is the oldest of the Clan warriors, with decades more experience than any others; though he focuses most of his energies upon training Clan Steel Viper, he does willingly mentor other Clans' warriors. As a result, he receives a +1 Skill roll modifier when dealing socially with any other Clansmen.
