Pack Tactics

Warcraft technique — see Magic and Spells for the rules and the Technique Index for the full list.

Apprentice — With this technique, the warlord barks an order at his companions to strike. He may choose up to two allies within 15’, and each chosen ally may immediately make one melee attack at a -1 penalty to hit.

Initiate — As apprentice, but the technique lasts up to 3 rounds provided the warlord concentrates each round on barking out his orders. Each affected ally may attack again on each of the warlord’s turns. Due to the continued stress on their bodies, the attack penalties accumulate for each attack they make while affected (even their own), to a maximum of -5. An ally may take a full round action to steady himself and reset the penalty back to -1; it will dissipate completely when the technique’s duration expires or the caster ceases to concentrate on it.

Journeyman — As initiate, but the warlord may choose up to three allies, and his companions are no longer disrupted by the harshness of his commands.

Master — As journeyman, but the technique lasts up to 6 rounds rather than 3, provided the warlord continues to concentrate.

Grand Master — As master, but the warlord may issue orders to up to five allies.
