Abilities
Opening Orders (auditory, linguistic) —
Dwarven Doughtiness — Dwarves are often calm and collected in the face of imminent danger. At the end of the general's turn, reduce its Frightened condition by 2 instead of 1.
Reactive Strike — The dwarf general gains an additional reaction at the beginning of each of their turns that they can use only for a Reactive Strike.
Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using.
Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike.
