Press The Advantage

The Master Tactician empowers their next attack to deal +4% additional damage for every stack of tactical advantage the Master Tactician has, and loses half of their stacks of tactical advantage (rounded up).

Inspire

The target gains +1 damage and +1 additional damage for every 10 stacks of tactical advantage the Master Tactician has, but the Master Tactician loses half of their stacks of tactical advantage (rounded up). This effect stacks and lasts until the end of combat.

If the target uses a heroic act before the beginning of the Master Tactician's next turn, they regain +25 momentum.

Strongpoint

The target gains +2 temporary wounds and +1 additional temporary wound for every 2 stacks of tactical advantage the Master Tactician has, but the Master Tactician loses half of their stacks of tactical advantage (rounded up).

Until the beginning of the Master Tactician's next turn, whenever the target loses temporary wounds from damage, the target gains momentum equal to the number of temporary wounds lost.

Fervour

The Master Tactician suffers direct damage equal to 20% of their maximum wounds, gains Master Tactician's resolve stacks of tactical advantage, and resets the cooldown of Linchpin, Inspire, and Strongpoint. Until the end of the Master Tactician's turn, these abilities can only target the Master Tactician themselves.

Tactical Advantage

The Master Tactician gains +1 stack of tactical advantage per every 5 momentum gained by the Master Tactician or their allies.

The Master Tactician begins combat with the amount of tactical advantage stacks equal to their FEL bonus.

Linchpin

The target ally or the Master Tactician gains +1 resolve for every 5 stacks of tactical advantage the Master Tactician has, but the Master Tactician loses half of their stacks of tactical advantage (rounded up). This effect stacks and lasts until the end of combat.

Until the beginning of the Master Tactician's next turn, the Master Tactician gains stacks of tactical advantage equal to (20 + 3 × Master Tactician’s FEL bonus)% of all momentum the target gains (instead of the usual 20%).

Assign Objective

The Master Tactician marks an enemy. If that enemy is killed by one of the Master Tactician's allies before the beginning of the Master Tactician's next turn, that ally gains (10 + 2 × that ally's resolve) momentum and +5 to all characteristics until the end of combat.

Finish the Job

Can only be used on enemies with the unfinished business effect. This effect is applied to enemies which were attacked by the Master Tactician's allies (but not by the Master Tactician) and have less than 50% of their maximum wounds remaining.

The Master Tactician immediately attacks the target with a single shot or strike. This attack does not count toward the attacks per turn limit, dealing half of the weapon's maximum damage and an additional +BS bonus damage.

HEROIC ACT:

Orchestrated Firestorm (Heroic Act)

The Master Tactician selects a 3×3 zone on the battlefield.

All allies, including the Master Tactician, that have line of sight to any enemies inside the selected zone make an immediate single attack against a random enemy within this zone that they can target with their weapons.

DESPERATE MEASURE:

Last Volley (Desperate Measures)

The Master Tactician selects a 3×3 zone on the battlefield.

All allies, including the Master Tactician, that have a line of sight to any enemies inside the selected zone make an immediate single attack against a random enemy within this zone that they can target with their weapons.

Until the beginning of the Master Tactician's next turn, all allies that attacked as part of the Last Volley suffer a −20 penalty to their Ballistic Skill and Weapon Skill, while the Master Tactician's Fellowship is reduced by −40 until the end of combat.
