Ok, so for those who don't know, wood elf characters can buy an 'upgrade' (kindreds) which lets them do funky things like become wardancers, waywatchers etc.
The rules for Alter kindreds are: "the character's movement and iniative are increased to 9 and his attacks are increased by 1. However he must fight on foot. A character from the kindred....may not be the army general, nor may he join a unit."
So I have 2 questions about this.
1) Is this, as it seems to me, a permanant upgrade to characteristics, as opposed to say a bonus from a magic item. (Because it is not a magic item, but an 'upgrade' like improving wizard level). I ask because there is magic bow which lets you fire as many times as you have 'attacks on your profile', so if this is a permanent profile upgrade you would gain a bonus shot using the bow.
2)"May not be army general". Does this mean that, if I have one character with Ld10, that he cannot buy this upgrade as he is automatically the army general? Or does it mean that he can buy it and the generalship defaults to the next highest Ld character?
