Troop Defenses -

 

Ability

Arrow Volley

The Hellknights draw or reload their longbows, then launch a ranged attack in the form of a volley. This volley is a 10-foot burst within 100 feet that deals 4d8 piercing damage (DC 23 basic Reflex save). When the troop is reduced to 8 or fewer squares, this area decreases to a 5-foot burst.

 

Ability

Form Up

 

Ability

Lance Charge

The brigade Forms Up, then Strides twice with a +10-foot circumstance bonus to its Speed. If it moves at least 10 feet, the brigade deals 3d8+13 piercing damage (DC 26 basic Reflex save) to each enemy within 10 feet of the brigade at the end of its movement.

 

Ability

Mounted Troop

Effects that target only animals or only humanoids may not work on the cavalry brigade, subject to the GM's discretion.

 

Ability

Swing from the Saddle

3d6+13 slashing damage

 

Ability

Trailblazing Stride

While moving on land, the Hellknight cavalry brigade ignores the effects of non-magical difficult terrain.

 

Ability

Troop Movement

Whenever the cavalry brigade Strides, the brigade first Forms Up as a free action to condense into a 20-foot-by-20-foot area (minus any missing squares), then moves. This works just like a Gargantuan creature moving; for instance, if any square of the brigade enters difficult terrain, the extra movement cost applies to the whole brigade.

 

Trait

Animal

An animal is a creature with a relatively low intelligence. It typically doesn't have an Intelligence ability modifier over -4, can't speak languages, and can't be trained in Intelligence-based skills.

 

Trait

Human

A creature with this trait is a member of the human ancestry. Humans are a diverse array of people known for their adaptability. An ability with this trait can be used or selected only by humans.

 

Trait

Humanoid

Humanoid creatures reason and act much like humans. They typically stand upright and have two arms and two legs.

 

Trait

Troop

A troop is an organized collection of component creatures, typically Small or Medium in size, working as a cohesive whole. A troop is 16 squares in size and has two Hit Point thresholds in their HP entry, under which it reduces in size to 12 squares and then 8 squares. A troop has the Troop Defenses, Form Up, and Troop Movement abilities. Most troops have a weakness to area damage. Because they consist of multiple discrete creatures, they can't be summoned.
