Skills
Brennus the Painted has two named skills. Each fires once per fight, at the moment shown below. The boss card in Expeditions lists the same skills before you spend any energy, and the fight report names a skill when it fires.
| Skill | When | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| War Paint | At the start of the fight | Painted blue for war: +8% crit chance for the first 3 rounds. Punishes starting the fight hurt. |
| Woad Fury | When struck below 30% health | Struck below 30% health, the woad runs and his temper with it: +12% damage for the rest of the fight. Punishes a slow kill. |

Themed loot: 60% of template rolls draw from this monster’s humanoid pool — Gladius, Mace, War Axe, Sling, Arbalest, Hunting Bow, Shield, Quiver — and the remaining 40% from the full item catalogue.
Unique drops: Warhorn of Brennus (~6% per kill). A unique is its own tier, not a high roll: every copy carries the same hand-written stats and the same signature effect.
Item level of a drop scales with the monster’s level; the numbers above are the fixed odds a win rolls against.
