- 10
- PROTprotection · What stands between a unit and a blow, from its armour plus any natural protection of its own. The defender adds a DRN to it, and a hit wounds only when the damage total is higher, so a tie does nothing. Full article

- 10
- ATTattack skill · How well a unit lands blows. The attacker adds a DRN to its attack skill and the target adds one to its defence skill; the blow lands only if the attacker's total is higher. Full article

How these numbers are built
The Dom 6 Inspector shows the numbers below, which add the unit's armour, weapons, shield and age to its base values. The base value comes first, then each change in the Inspector's own words.
- Protection 7: basic 0, head 5, body 7
- Defence skill 12: 10 +3 (weapons), -1 (armor)
- Encumbrance 4: 3 +1 (armor), spellcasting encumbrance: 5
- Combat speed 11: 12 -1 (armor)
basic is the natural protection; head and body already include it.

Description
The Seithberenders of the Crow Clan are undisputedly the most powerful mages in Nidavangr. Taking the shape of the Crow they travel wide and far to gather and deliver information, give advice to Jarls and Herses and guide the Seithberenders of the other clans. In all but name they are the masters of Nidavangr. The Crow Clan Seithberenders were taught the art of Seith as well as the means to pierce the illusions of the Vanir by their God, and for centuries they have kept vigil against the trickeries of the Vanir. But there is a darker and more sinister side to their power, for it is they who perform the rite of Nidlögning, the Nidbath. Through this horrible ritual several Niding warriors sacrifice themselves to empower the target of the ritual, giving him their lives so that he can live many times over. The Crow Clan Seithberenders are powerful mages of death and the night skies, and some of them practice blood magic.
