The above list is designed to complement my other list for abilities that take place during an army's turn of activation.
Corrections and suggestions welcome and appreciated. -David |

Stealth Leap is another power that ignores the passing swipe. Acolarh's Aura power is not on your list. Charos has Counter strike, as do Kaemon Awa and the Kozuke Samurai. A quick flip through the cards will let you know if anything else is missing. Use the official cards, not the card-sized versions. |

I've updated the list with your suggestions. However, I did leave off Acolarh's "Leaf of the Home Tree Aura" on purpose. I wanted to focus this list on abilities that benefit a unit itself. I did need to clarify that in my introduction, so I've changed "conferred from other units" to "conferred to/from other units." Sev_ already has an excellent listing of those abilites. Thanks again! -David |
