Game Special Rules

Some games use additional rules, objectives, or battlefield mechanics beyond the standard rules of Wizards and Warlords.

The most common special rules are the Respawn and Limited Respawn rules, which all players should familiarise themselves with.

The remaining special rules are provided as a reference and will always be explained during the game briefing if they are being used.

Respawns

Some games allow players to return to the battle after becoming Downed. The respawn rules used for a game will be explained during the briefing and are detailed below.

Respawn

If respawn is active and a player is Downed, they may choose to go to their team's respawn point instead of waiting to be healed or resurrected.

Each team has two respawn points located in the corners of their deployment zone.

To respawn:

Walk to your team's designated respawn point.
If you became Downed within your own deployment quarter, you must use the respawn point furthest from where you were Downed.
Count aloud to twice your base starting HP:
- Characters with 2 starting HP count to 4.
- Characters with 4 starting HP count to 8.
Once the count is complete, you may re-enter the game.

Limited Respawn

Limited Respawn uses the normal Respawn rules with a limit on the number of times each player may respawn during the game.

The number listed for the scenario is the maximum number of respawns available to each player.

For example:

Limited Respawn 3 allows each player to respawn up to three times during the game.

Once a player has used all of their available respawns, they may no longer use the Respawn mechanic. However, they may still return to play through healing, resurrection, or other scenario-specific rules where applicable.

Scenario Additional Rules
