Well, its a bit over the top. I figured that in addition to being a tough
cookie, Cortez would be pretty lucky and good at avoiding fire. Thus the big
save.
Also, its pretty powerfull sinceits his ability. He dont get any neat tricks
to perform. But a 4+ would work too.

No. Need clarification. You can change orders for 2 detachments. Not the
same one twice :)

Nono..Dante and the bodyguard stands form a detachment. Just like an IG
colonel and his bodyguards

Yeah. Its propably one of the better abilities. Though it should propably
only affect stands within 10 cm.not detachments with a single stand within
10 cm

THink I was thinking 40K where chaplains carry energyfield. It should be 5+
like most of the others.
