A: Weapon Training, Parry
B: Battle-Hardened Aura, Platoon
C: Battle Tricks
D: Weapon Mastery

Weapon Training

You can use either your Strength or your Dexterity for your melee attack rolls. When you miss a melee attack, your target still takes as much damage as your Grit.

Parry

Once per battle, you can destroy a weapon or a shied you are holding to protect yourself or an adjacent ally from an attack’s damage.

Battle-Hardened Aura

You project an intimidating aura that lets people know you are a skilled warrior. At any moment, you can decide how weak creatures react to you: they either avoid fighting you unless you attack them, or gang up on you while ignoring your teammates. Weak creatures are any monster less HP than 4 times your Grit.

Platoon

Your leadership is legendary. Your followers have a bonus HP equal to your Grit and they share your starting skill (infantry, navy, nobility, or caravan).

Battle Tricks

Your melee weapons have different effects on a hit depending on the type of damage you inflict with them:

  • Bludgeoning: Weak creatures are knocked prone.
  • Piercing: Weak prone or surprised unnamed creatures are killed.
  • Slashing: You can inflict as much damage as your Grit to another adjacent target.

Weapon Mastery

You make two attacks per turn.
