Battle Rune

An eleventh I know; if haply I lead

my old comrades out to war,

I sing 'neath the shields, and they fare forth mightily

safe into battle,

safe out of battle,

and safe return from the strife.

With this rune, the user may turn a number of his comrades into a powerful fighting force.

System: The character sings the runes of Ehwas (for teamwork) and Laguz (for vitality and virtue). For each success on his Arete roll, the runesinger may enchant one person other than himself for an entire scene. The magic of the rune song is spread throughout the group, bringing each member to the peak of physical health. All Bashing Damage is healed at the end of each turn, and all wound penalties for Lethal Damage are halved for the entire scene. In addition, all members of the group are inspired by the runesinger's confidence, becoming highly motivated and in turn, feed off of each other's confidence. Everyone affected by the rote has their temporary Willpower fully replenished until the end of the scene, at which time they return to one lower than their previous level.
