cannot move at all. There is no maximum Move value.
Defence (Def)
The higher a model’s Def the less likely they are to
come to harm. Factors determining Def include armour
worn, natural toughness, thick skin or hide. Models
with a Def of 0 cannot be harmed by physical attacks
because of their invulnerability or lack of substance.
Hits
A model can take a number of wounds equal to their
Hits before they are removed from play. There is no
maximum Hits value, but most models have between
1 and 3 Hits.
Strength (Str)
Str is used in melee or when performing other feats of
brute force. Models with a Str of 0 are non-corporeal
and cannot interact with the physical world.
Agility (Agi)
Agi represents both bodily manoeuvrability and
manual dexterity. High Agi allows a model to avoid
falls and other perilous situations where less agile
models would suffer.
Intelligence (Int)
Int represents both knowledge and wisdom, and is
key to performing Spells. Models with an Int of 0 are
considered to be mindless and can’t perform Spells.

Scrabbling, he pulls himself up and dives towards his sword, as
