WIP Keywords

In development — wording and values not final.

Keyword	Summary
Shocked	An un-provisioned Troop with Shocked flees the battlefield during the Attrition Phase, even if unwounded. Applied by the Paw Coalition's Rabble side.
Steadfast	Morale cannot be modified negatively — including the un-provisioned penalty and the Shotte reload penalty. Usually temporary (X turns).
Shock-Charge (X)	Usually on heavy cavalry. If the Troop it fights survives the Charge, that Troop's Morale is reduced by X.
Carnivore / Prey	When played, target an enemy Troop as Prey and place a counter on it. Allied Carnivores deal +1 damage to Prey, and Prey has −1 Morale while adjacent to a Carnivore.
Citizen	This Troop does not deal damage during a Charge declared by its own controller.
Off-Guard	This Troop may not deal damage the turn it is played.
Reinforce	Discard a copy of this card to heal the copy already in play.
Coerce / Bullyrag	During the Muster Phase, reduce target Troop's Morale by 1 for the rest of the turn.
Skittish	TBD
Turncoat	TBD — see the parked Turncoat rule.
Collaborator	TBD
