- 19
- 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

- MORmorale · A unit's nerve. Fear, losses and a fallen commander test it, and a unit that fails can break and flee. Higher morale holds the line longer; blessings, items and good leaders can raise it. 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.
- Defence skill 15: 14 +1 (weapons)
Weapons
| Weapon | Damage | Att | Def | Length | Flags |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short SwordShort Sword · Damage 5, attack 1, defence 1, length 1, 1 attack, resource cost 2. Piercing, Slashing, Made of iron, Ferrous. Open in the weapons table | 19 | 15 | 1 | 1 | slashslash · 25% more damage after protection, and 50% more toward breaking a shield. A hit costing half the target’s hit points can sever a limb or head. Damage types piercepierce · The target’s protection is cut by 15% before the blow is compared with it. Damage types |
Damage includes the unit's strength and Att its attack skill, as the Dom 6 Inspector shows them.

Description
During the Malediction, evil was let loose in the kingdom. The Hunger that the evil aroused resulted in cannibalism and practices even worse. Some of the warring nobles succumbed and became vampires who thirsted for human blood. Artur von Dirksen is one of these cursed nobles. Even before he was transformed into a vampire he had a sadistic taste for unfair combat. Equipping his servants with blunted weapons he staged arena battles where he could skewer his opponents without any real risk to his life. When the Malediction struck he was delighted to discover that his body had become impervious to ordinary weapons. He has since honed his skills and fed his sword the blood of men who cannot harm him. Most vampire counts can dominate human peasants, who become nearly mindless and serve their master as obediently as dogs.
