3. Fighter Improvement

For each fighter that survived the previous mission, go through the following process one at a time. Gather a D6 for the fighter for each of the following they meet the requirements of.

RequirementAssociated CharacteristicAssociated Ability Group
Gather a D6 for each enemy the fighter killed or knocked unconscious in melee.Weapon SkillCOMBAT
Gather a D6 for each enemy the fighter killed or knocked unconscious by shooting.Ballistic SkillGUN PLAY
Gather a D6 for each ally you successfully gave first aid to.SagacityKNOWLEDGE
Gather a D6 for each command successfully given.FellowshipLEADERSHIP
Gather a D6 for each battle shock check passed.GritWILL POWER
Gather a D6 if the fighter’s model is kitbashed.LuckFOOLISHNESS
Gather a D6 if the fighter’s model is painted.LuckFOOLISHNESS

Then roll all of your D6s and group them together by those that share the same result. For example if your result is 1,2,2,5,2. Then the twos would be grouped together, and the 5 and 1 would be by themselves. Then compare your results rolled on the table below by both their result and multiplicity.

ResultImprovement
singlesGain an extra D6 to scavenging in the following scavenge step.
doublesThe fighter improves the value of a characteristic by +1 that’s associated to a requirement the fighter met.
triplesThe fighter gains a random ability from an Associated Ability Group of a requirement the fighter met.

For example, Skreet-Street, a bestial rat man, killed two enemies in melee, passed a battle shock check, and is both kitbashed and painted. This grants him 5D6 to roll for improvement. He rolls a result of 1, 1, 6, 2, and 1. The triple 1s allows him to get a random ability from his choice of the Combat, Willpower, or Foolishness ability group. The single 2 allows him to get an extra scavenging die for the following step. The single 6 allows him to get a second extra scavenging die for the following step.

If a fighter earned more than 6 dice for improvement, they must only keep 6 after rolling all of them for the resulting improvement.
