9th-Level Doctrine Ability¶
9th-Level Doctrine Ability
Your tactical doctrine grants your choice of one of two heroic abilities.
9th-Level Insurgent Abilities
Choose one of the following abilities.
Squad! Hit and Run!
I had to pry this secret from the shadow colleges.
Each target gains 2 surges, and can use a free triggered action to use a signature ability that gains an edge. After resolving their ability, each target can shift up to 2 squares and become hidden even if they have no cover or concealment, or if they are observed.
Their Lack of Focus Is Their Undoing
You trick your enemies into attacking each other and leave them confused by the aftermath.
Each target uses a signature ability against one or more targets of your choosing, with each ability automatically obtaining a tier 3 outcome on the power roll. After resolving the targets' abilities, you make a power roll against each original target.
9th-Level Mastermind Abilities
Choose one of the following abilities.
Blot Out the Sun!
What makes a good soldier? The ability to fire four shots a minute in any weather.
Each target can make a ranged free strike that gains an edge against any enemy marked by you within distance of their ranged free strike. A target ignores banes and double banes when making this strike.
Counterstrategy
I've identified a way to negate their strengths.
You gain 6 surges. Until the end of the encounter or until you are dying, whenever the Director spends Malice (see *Draw Steel: Monsters*), choose yourself or one ally within 10 squares. The chosen character gains 2 of their Heroic Resource.
9th-Level Vanguard Abilities
Choose one of the following abilities.
No Escape
Nothing will stop you from reaching your foe.
You mark the target.
If you use this ability as part of the Charge main action, enemies' spaces don't count as difficult terrain for your movement. Additionally, if you move through any creature's space, you can slide that creature 1 square out of the path of your charge.
That One Is Mine!
You focus on making an enemy irrelevant.
The target is marked by you.
Until the end of the encounter or until you are dying, you can use a signature or heroic ability instead of a free strike against any target marked by you.
