An Oathband is the group of characters a player commands. These characters may be fewer and better equipped, or more numerous and lightly armed — that is one of the core creative decisions of the game, expressed through how you spend 600 Supplies.
Supplies are spent first on Characters, then on Abilities and Equipment for those Characters.
Characters
To recruit a character costs 50 Supplies. Below are the attributes of a basic character and what each one does.
| Attribute | Base Value | Role |
| Might (M) | 0 | Bonus to Assault + Fire defence |
| Aim (A) | 0 | Bonus to Fire |
| Valour (V) | 0 | Bonus to Panic |
| Ward (W) | 0 | Damage Reduction |
| Pace (P) | 0 | +1" per point on the first Move Deed of an Act |
| Endurance (E) | 6 | Damage taken till OOA |
Might, Aim, and Valour may each be improved to a maximum of +3, at a cost of 5 Supplies per point, for any character. Once you’ve created a character you’ll be ready to equip them.
