Leader (L,P) (15)

Any friendly model within 1 x Long distance of a Leader has its Activation and Morale Q rolls increased by one. When a Leader dies, however, all friendly models must make a Morale roll. The effects of multiple Leaders are not cumulative — so if a model lies in the range of two Leaders, its Q is adjusted by 1, not 2. Models with the Leader Trait are not mandatory in a warband. A Leader’s bonus does not apply to himself or to other Leaders, including figures with other Leader Traits like Discipline Master and similar (L) Traits described in supplements. Exception: A Leader’s bonus applies to models with the Beastmaster Trait. The Leader’s bonus does not count if the Leader is Prone or if the model cannot trace a LoS to the Leader. Enemy models do not obstruct LoS from a model to his Leader (thus you count your bonus even if you can’t see your Leader because he is surrounded by enemies). The presence of a Leader within 1 x Long allows for a group activation, a process in which the player activates a group of up to 5 models with a single activation roll. See Group Activations.
