Hey all,

Did a quick google search which didn't yield much. I think this is wishful thinking but anyway.

Does an embarked unit confer any of its USR's onto the transport it is in (such as stealth or something akin to that?)?

Not a troll post, just something that popped into my head

Only if the USR says so.

The conferring rules only apply when a unit joins another unit, which is not the same thing as embarking...where the embarked unit and the transport remain separate in rules terms. So as rigeld said, the rule has to specifically state it applies to transports, or at least affect units in a certain distance.
The only examples I can think of are ones that are area-of-effect anyway.

Three examples of a vehicle benefiting from a unit's USR are Infiltrate, Outflank and Scout. There are specific limitations though.

Bingo, thankyou. Should've known there'd be some examples kicking about.
Only real limitations I can see are that it has to be a Dedicated Transport (fair enough), and that they have to start inside it (again, kinda obvious). And once your deployment's done, that's the rule dealt with and out the way anyway.

Yes, but as vehicles never suffer wounds you will never take a FnP save.

Why are you saying "Yes" here?

No Special rules, other than those that specify otherwise, get passed on to transports that the unit is embarked in.

Case in point: a Pathfinder unit with all 3 special drones embarks on a devilfish, The devil fish receives the Recon drones rules as specified, but does not gain the grav-wave projector nor benefit from/gain the pulse accelerator.

Slight brain-fart.


If the FnP is given out in a bubble, the transport will get it. But as it never takes wounds it can't benefit.

Wracks IIRC don't give out a FnP bubble, so my mistake.

gotcha, and yes bubble effect would give the useless rule.
