The Pawn: Advice to the Adjudicator
Though the list is not exhaustive, be aware of game balance and game effects when adding new descriptors. Bear in mind that descriptors with drastic effects should normally be placed in Traits rather than Boons, as Boons are very easy to come by in-game.
Its generally not a good idea to overload Pawns with descriptors, or else the game gets too tricksy. At the start of the game, it is suggested that Pawns either have one trait each, or one boon and one drawback.
Boons for the Pawn
Attackers
Temporarily add +2 to this Pawn's Battle Strength when it is part of a Summer Campaign.
Attrition-based Warfare
When this Pawn is Broken, one enemy Pawn becomes Broken as well. Indestructible armies may not receive this Boon.
Berserker
When this Pawn is part of a Summer Campaign, temporarily add +4 to this Pawn's Battle Strength. At the end of the Campaign, this Pawn is Broken. Indestructible armies may not receive this Boon.
Combined Arms Warfare
Temporarily add +1 to this Pawn's Battle Strength for each other Army in the same war defence or summer campaign.
Defenders
Temporarily add +2 to this Pawn's Battle Strength when it is part of a War Defence.
