Elven Court Guard

Creature 13 — elf, humanoid

Interposition
Avenge the Fallen (fortune) — Frequency once per round Requirements The guard is within 30 feet of the creature they were guarding, and that creature is either Dying or died since the guard's last turn Effect The guard Strikes the creature that damaged their ally. They roll the attack roll twice and use the higher result.
Dancing Blade — The guard makes a Strike against a creature, then Strides. This Stride doesn't trigger reactions. If the guard ends this Stride in a different space adjacent to the same creature, they make another Strike against it. If both Strikes succeed, the creature is Off-Guard until the start of the guard's next turn. Each attack counts toward the guard's multiple attack penalty, but the penalty doesn't increase until they've made both attacks.
