Reactive StrikeTrigger 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.
Crowd ControlRequirements The palace guard's last action was a successful halberd Strike
Effect The palace guard attempts to Reposition the creature they hit using their halberd's reach. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the guard's multiple attack penalty.
Often the younger offspring of minor nobility or those from long lines of trusted staff, palace guards are in charge of defending the royal family and their inner stronghold. Their days consist of guarding doorways, escorting nobles, and keeping those in their charge as safe as possible.
The denizens of a noble court are the most powerful people in a civilization, primed with wealth, station, and authority above the common people.
