I know I'm probably just missing it somewhere, but is there a "unique" or "0-1" restriction on any of the Eldar named charaters? If so, could someone direct me to it?

Eldar don't have the "Unique" or "0-1" restriction per se, however the named Characters all have "Individual" which is exactly the same thing.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

The main rulebook tells us that all named characters are unique, IIRC.

"Independent Character" is not the same as unique, so I presume you're referring to some other sort of "Individual" reference?
Page 49 "Special Characters" is what places the unique restriction on named characters as I am aware.

Ahh, that is the tidbit I was forgetting, thank you. I'm too used to the more recent dexes spelling it out specificly for you. So if you were particularly masochistic, could you include two Avatars in a list?

Interesting, was there more than one printing of the Eldar dex (like the Necron 3rd ed)? I'm not seeing that anywhere on pg 61 of mine.

I did indeed read what you wrote. My apologies if I was not clear that I knew you were not referring to Independent Character. I just don't remember running across any specific rules using the term "Individual," and because I'm always missing totally obvious things I thought I would ask. So I did and you answered and I learnt something and am happy. (You of course come predefined as happy and so have what I feel is an unfair advantage in that regard.  )

It's possible that the first printing of the 4th ed codex did not have the "Individual" rule for the Avatar. My copy came out after the previous FAQ was released (all the errata already taken into account). If so, he is Unique.

Cool. I'll have to compare it to my buddy's dex which he purchased fairly recently.
