Abilities
Craft Specialist — For encounters involving matters of crafting or architecture, the guildmaster is a 12th-level challenge.
Call to Action (auditory, concentrate, emotion, mental) — The guildmaster gives a speech to inspire themself and all guild-member allies within 60 feet, granting them a +1 status bonus to attack and damage rolls until the start of the guildmaster's next turn.
Sworn Duty — While within the guild or presiding over guild business, the guildmaster gains a +2 circumstance bonus to weapon attack rolls and deals an additional 2d6 damage on a successful weapon attack.
WORKS WELL WITH
CrasherLANDThe status bonus to attack and damage from Call to Action amplifies a Crasher's multi-attack sequences, converting buffed accuracy into raw strike pressure.
FlankerLANDFlanking allies gain the greatest marginal benefit from attack bonuses, as their off-guard targets already lower the hit threshold.
AnvilLANDA durable Anvil protects the guildmaster while benefiting from repeated Call to Action buffs that compound over a prolonged stand-and-deliver exchange.
