===Barbarian Special Rules===
===Andabatus Special Rules===


'''Undisciplined''' - Because they are bloodthirsty, barbarians are ever eager to close the distance with the enemy. On its turn, a barbarian must move towards the nearest opponent by the most direct route possible (Lanista selects if two equidistant choices). A barbarian adjacent to one or more opponents must stay in the square it is in and attack one of those opponents.
'''Blind''' - An Andabatus has the persistent condition ''blinded''. A blinded character has a +2 to their to-hit numbers on attacks they make (e.g. 5+ to hit becomes 7+ to hit). The Andabatus cannot remove the blinded condition by any means. Note that by default, the Andabatus is incapable of hitting opponents with a normal attack!
