Peter Paul the Merry

In the party, you take on the role of the steadfast leader, always putting the safety of your allies first. When you lead group action, you are not penalized for shouldering the burden of multiple piggybacking allies. Alternatively, if you are leading the action in a scene check, you may reroll the dice in any one of the acts, once per session.

You steel your soul against otherworldly peril, whether by the grace of your patron or sheer force of will. If you are subject to a source of attribute damage, you may make an opposed check as a reaction (matching the attribute of the check that precipitated the damage) to a cancel the damage, with advantage. In lieu of protecting yourself, you may confer the benefits of this stance to a target by touch.

Whether by mighty cleave, deft riposte, or smart sharpshooting, you enter the battlefield as a one-man army. When you successfully attack an opponent, you may inflict the frightened status on any number of victims allied with your opponent within a melee space of you. They are entitled to a contested Mighty check vs. your attack to retain their composure.

Your wide-ranging interests are as comprehensive as they are exhaustive; some would call this genius, but you call it simple curiosity. When making a check involving a Domain Knowledge skill, you may substitute the specialty for a related field for 1 MP (with the GM's approval); a polymath proficient in Domain Knowledge (Demonology) could be proficient in Domain Knowledge (Witchcraft), as an example.

Your weapon thirsts for vengeance as if it has a mind of its own. When you fell a foe, you may retain a token of theirs that embodies their misdeeds as a vengeance tag. You may invoke this tag to create narrative advantage that intimidates or impresses those who recognize its significance.

Your reputation precedes you. You may create GM advantage in your first interaction with a friendly humanoid or intelligent monster.

The thrill of the fight only emboldens you, and each success fills you with renewed vigor. Whenever you explode a die by rolling natural 6 on a d6, you recover 2 MP.

For you, the shield is a natural extension of your body and a weapon in its own right. When a creature or object enters your personal space with force, you may stop its movement by bracing your shield. If it is larger than you, make a Mighty check; otherwise, you stop it automatically. Similarly, when you plant your shield to hold your ground, you cannot be forcibly moved by any mundane force smaller than a siege weapon. You and one other person directly behind you have complete cover originating from the direction you face. You cannot move while using this stance.
