The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure. The figure name is Boon #40, 41, 42 from the Indy set.

Character Bio: Chen Tang fights for Jandar. His signature technique, alternately called Cinnabar Palm or Quivering Palm, is known as "the blow of deferred death." A Quivering Palm strike makes its effect felt long after the blow was delivered.

Quivering Palm
Start the game with 3 Palm Markers on this card. After moving and before attacking you may choose a small or medium Unique Hero adjacent to Chen Tang without any Palm Markers its Army Card. Roll a 20-sided die. If you roll a 13 or higher place a Palm Marker on the chosen figure's Army Card. For the duration of the game, at the end of each round, each other figure with one of you Palm Markers on its card receives a wound. Palm Markers cannot be placed on Monk Army Cards

Whirlwind Assault
Chen Tang may attack any and all figures adjacent to him. Roll each attack separately.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

• Q: Do figures still receive wounds from placed Palm Markers even after Chen's been destroyed?
  A: Yes. Figures affected by Force Palm are affected for the duration of the game.
  
  
• Q: If my hero with 1 Life point remaining and a Palm Marker on his army card is standing on a Glyph of Wannok, which happens first, the glyph or the Quivering Palm damage?
  A: Roll the 20-sided die once for each effect. The effect that gets the highest roll happens first.
  
  
• Q: If Chen Tang's powers are negated by Morsbane's Rod of Negation, do heroes with Palm Markers on their army cards still take damage at the end of the round?
  A: Yes. Quivering Palm triggers when the marker is placed, and continues to work even if Chen Tang is negated or destroyed.

Yes.

Oh, cool! That could probably use a FAQ, since powers generally stop being in effect once a figure is destroyed.

That is normally true, which is why we were sure to include the words "for the duration of the game" in the power.

Ah, okay! I get that. Still sounds like it could use the extra clarification of a FAQ, though.

That's true, but it couldn't hurt to have it there could it?

[Scytale]

I'm certainly not arguing against a FAQ. It's a fine thing to add.

Just a heads up that this should be changed to a Human.
