Festus is a walking repository of alembics and beakers full of foul-smelling poisons and restoratives. They have the following effects:

• Any unit joined by Festus gains the Regenerate ability, though Wounds are only regenerated on the roll of a 5+ rather than the usual 4+.

• Any unit joined by Festus gains the Poisoned Attacks ability. This includes Festus's own attacks.
