Unique Abilities

Ability Name	Character Version	Description
Ecomancy	Original	Pendros has 4 Environment Markers and begins a duel with all of them.  Once per beat as an ante, he may place up to one of these on the board face down in any space that does not contain a standup or another Environment Marker. At the start of ante, perform these steps: 1.  Activate each face-up Environment Marker on the board, targeting the player occupying its space.  Return the Marker to Pendros’s pool. 2.  Turn face-up all Environment Markers. Whenever a player reveals a Pulse, all Environment Markers are turned face-down.
On Shifting Ground	Alternate Art	Pendros has 4 Environment Markers, which are off the board at the beginning of a beat. At the beginning of each ante phase, if there are no Environment Markers on the board, Pendros' nearest opponent chooses and places all 4 Environment Markers face-up on the board in different space (they may be placed into occupied spaces). As an ante, Pendros may choose to remove all Environment Markers from the board.  If he does, all players on an Environment Marker gain that marker's effect. When a player reveals a Pulse, remove all Environment Markers from the board.
Earth Control	EX	Pendros has 4 Environment Markers and begins a duel with all of them.  Once per beat as an ante, he may place up to one of these on the board face down in any space. These markers can be placed in spaces occupied by a Standup as well. At the start of ante, perform these steps: 1.  Activate each face-up Environment Marker on the board, targeting the player occupying its space.  Return the Marker to Pendros’s pool. 2.  Turn face-up all Environment Markers. Whenever a player reveals a Pulse, all Environment Markers are turned face-down.
Nature’s Hand	Almighty	Pendros has 4 Environment Markers and begins a duel with all of them.  Any number of times per beat as an ante, he may place up to one of these on the board face down in any space that does not have an Environment Marker. These markers can be placed in spaces occupied by a Standup as well. At the start of ante, perform these steps: 1.  Activate each face-up Environment Marker on the board, targeting the player occupying its space.  Return the Marker to Pendros’s pool. 2.  Turn face-up all Environment Markers. Whenever a player reveals a Pulse, all Environment Markers are turned face-down.

Personal Styles and Bases

Color	Name	Range	Power	Priority	Effect
	Wandering	+0~1	+1	-1	Stun Guard 3   On Hit:  Pull the opponent 1 or 2 spaces. On Damage:  You may place another Environment Marker face-down into any unoccupied space.
	Tectonic	+0	+1	-2	An opponent cannot hit you if a face-up Environment Marker is in an unoccupied space between you and that opponent.   Before Activating:  Advance up to 2 spaces.
	Arboreal	+0	+0	+1	Lose 2 additional life if you are hit during this beat.   Start of Beat:  Advance up to 3 spaces.
	Polymorphed	+0	+0	+1	Reveal:  This style duplicates the printed Priority of the nearest opponent’s style if it is higher than this style’s priority.  The same is true for a Power and Maximum Range.  (Only copy maximum range, so a range printed as +2 would give this style +0-2).

Unofficial FAQ

• The rulebook says that Pendros has a "Thunderstorm" marker, but in fact the name was changed to "Lightning Storm" (source)
• Arboreal reads "Lose 2 additional life if you are hit during this beat". Do I need to lose life or receive damage for this to trigger?

A: No. The "additional" is a relic. Every time you are hit this beat, you lose 2 life. It's a life loss effect under Pendros' control and resolves before On Hit effects occur. Subsequent damage or life loss don't matter for this effect. (Official FAQ)
