SPECIAL ABILITIES

Havoc Charge (Su)

A vanguard enforcer may perform a charge attack that is deadlier than normal. When performing a havoc charge, a vanguard enforcer gains a +3 bonus to melee attack rolls and takes a –3 penalty to AC for 1 round. Movement made during this charge attack ignores difficult terrain. A melee attack made at the end of a havoc charge deals an additional 2d6 points of damage. This bonus damage is not multiplied on a critical hit.

Havoc Surge (Su)

Whenever a vanguard enforcer scores a critical hit while performing a havoc charge, they gain 4 hit points, up to their normal maximum number of hit points. If they already have full hit points, they gain 4 temporary hit points that last until the beginning of the vanguard enforcer’s next round.

Boons When a PC forms a strong bond with a vanguard enforcer or successfully perform a service for them, the enforcer may award the PC with one of the below boons at the GM’s discretion.

Favor: Share restricted records of recently apprehended magic users in the titan’s local area.

Favor: Allow access for the purchase of restricted or military-level gear without needing to go through black market channels.

Favor: Reveals the locations of suspected safe houses containing unregistered, but non-violent and low-priority, magic-users in the local area.

ABOUT

A vanguard enforcer is an elite soldier trained to track and subdue or eliminate renegade magic users. Carefully selected and trained in hand-to-hand combat as well as marksmanship, even a single enforcer is a dangerous enemy. Their greatest strength lies in their ability to work together, coordinating close-range combat prowess.
