This is a lovely list and all... but... What IS Blood Curse?

Psi damage DoT, slight reduction to psi and will, can be applied by multiple attackers to the same target.

I was orginally using bleeding, but that doesn't work against a lot of enemies.

Neat. Thank you.

Killing Stroke says that it will consume all HP. Will it A: Leave the Nightblade with 1 HP, B: Drop the Nightblade onto the bleedout timer, or C: Result in the death of the Nightblade. I don't think ANY ability is worth sacrificing a Brigadier soldier to use.

1 HP. I have a check built into hp costs so they shouldn't be able to kill you.
just don't use it on anything that explodes.

Blood curse is funny when applied to mechanical units though.
