#Scent — Battle-Tested Fighters

Elite ashigaru who have survived dozens of battles, strong retainers among an oni's followers, seasoned warband members from the Sengoku. They do not fall from a single cut. They grit their teeth and strike back. In squads, they form a wall far sturdier than Minions, and enemies must pay a serious price to break them.

#Law — Rules

On a hit, reduce Wounds by 1: Unlike Minions, Veterans do not fall in one blow.
Critical Hit: On a double + success, reduce Wounds by 2.
Squad or individual: Depending on the scenario, track them as a squad (a group of several people) or individually.
When tracked individually: Manage each Veteran's Wounds separately. You may give them names.
