Aldritch the Mad/Cogent

Aldritch the MadCogent Sheet

 If behind cover or a shield, give up your movement and action to be invulnerable to frontal ranged attacks for that turn.

#### Charge

 If you are within medium range of a target and no closer, you expend your action and a considerable amount of energy to rush over the distance separating you, building up momentum to strike. There must be open ground between you. They cannot evade you so long as they are on the ground. You spend your turn closing the distance, and on your next turn you can attack them if you so wish. Your momentum gives you a +2 to your next attack roll. This ability allows the character to overcome the effects of suppression, though the -2 malnus from it still applies.

#### Shove

 Force the target back 5 feet. Interrupts spellcasting. Requires a weapon the same length or longer than that of your opponent, or a shield.

#### Brace

 You expend your movement, your action, and a considerable amount of energy to brace yourself for an oncoming charge. You subtract 2 from their charge bonus. If you have a weapon which is the same length or longer than your charging opponent, you attack first when they close with you, regardless of your Reflex.

#### Flurry

 As your action, make your normal number of attacks plus one. These do not have to be the same target. Make all of these rolls with -2 to your attack dice.

#### Cleave

 As your action, you cleave with your melee weapon through two enemies, making a regular melee attack against both. You may spend energy to increase the number of enemies which you attack, spending 1 Energy per additional enemy.

### Ranged Skills

#### Hunker Down

 If behind cover or a shield, give up your movement and action to be invulnerable to frontal ranged attacks for that turn.

#### Steady Shot

 At the cost of your movement, gain advantage on your next shot.

#### Suppression

 Use your action this turn to suppress a target or group of targets closely clumped together. Instead of directly attacking the target(s), you use your ranged attacks to attempt to drive them into cover and gain a psychological advantage over them. Roll your ranged attacks and add them together. Your allies may join you in your suppression attempt, contributing their own ranged attacks. Add their totals to yours. The adversary may choose to contest your suppression attempt, attempting to suppress you instead, in which case compare your totals to theirs. If they do not contest or are unable to, they are automatically suppressed. One side wins the suppression attempt and the other side gains the following:
* Members of the group within the field of fire roll their attacks with all weapons with a -2 malnus until the end of the following turn.
* Affected members of the group are pinned and unable to advance. They need to remain in cover, in concealment, in a prone position, behind a shield, or behind someone who has a shield. They can shuffle laterally, move backward, and move up to the position of their most advanced member, but no further. Members of the group with a shield may advance at half their speed.
* The group may choose to retreat from the engagement at any time. This is an organized action involving some members of the group withdrawing while others provide covering fire. A full turn's worth of ammunition is expended by everyone in the group taking this action. This necessarily cedes the terrain to the other force.

#### Salvage Arrows

 You regain half of the arrows you fired at the end of an engagement, provided that you are in control of the ground where the engagement took place.

#### Aimed Shot

 Take your time to aim and fire on your next turn with +2 and advantage. Requires you to stand still and concentrate. You are able to move at a walk, but if you are forced to defend yourself in melee or are injured in any way between your turns, the shot cancels.

#### Rapid Fire

 As your action, make your normal number of attacks plus one. These do not have to be the same target. Make all of these rolls with -2 to your attack dice. You cannot gain advantage on these shots. This does not work with cone attacks.

#### Trick Shot

 Make an attack with +2 guaranteed dice. You may sacrifice your movement to gain advantage on this shot.

### Athletics Skills

#### Recuperate

 Pass on your turn to recover 2 energy.

#### Jump

 Jump over or scale an obstacle without need for an **Athletics** roll.
