Hmm...I just read something which made me think.. Lizardmen Armybook page 93 (heroes). It states that a scar-veteran can take: Magic items: any, up to a total of 50 points. So he could drag along a dispell scroll? power stone? staff or sorcery? Now I hear you think: "a non wizard cannot carry arcane items" Yes he can! lex specialis derogat legi generali the special rule (from the AB), enfeeble(??) the general rule. Which in turn means: Scar vets can carry dispell scrolls! Guess I missed something huh? yes, I'm a law student The Hunted
No, he cannot carry dispel scrolls. That would be like saying he can use the stegadon war-spear because it said he could take any item. It's as if every arcane item has invisible text that says "wizards only". And, regardless, this: is not a special rule, as it is in the army list section, not the bestiary. Therefore it could not overrule the rules.
Ok, so I DIDmiss something ... I thought it had some more ground, but unfortunately; I didn't read/know it all Thanks guys! The Hunted
