Drakloak Abilities

Focus: Ranged, Implement
Damage: Ghost, ie Necrotic
Targeting: Pri vs Will

Remarks:
This tree can be adjusted to be an Area tree instead of Ranged, in which case Pulse will become an Area attack, and SA1 will need to be adjusted.
Defense targeted can be reasonably adjusted to Fortitude on request.


CA) Astonish

Hit: 1d6 + Pri dmg, and target takes -2 to next attack roll before ENT.

CA) Lock-On

SM1) Protect
Swift, Melee Reach
Until ENT, the target gains half Sec concealment bonus while adjacent to you (or if the target is yourself).
If the target is mounted on you, the target gains Sec concealment bonus instead, and on the target's turn he may use a move action to expend a Signature ability and cause you to recharge this ability.
Note that concealment bonus is maxed at 5, and any bonus in excess of 5 is added to your own AC and Reflex as ability bonuses.
Special: If you do not have Phantom Force, you can replace your SM1 in entirety with Phantom Force.

- Sec bonus to AC or Reflex
- half Sec bonus to AC and Reflex

SM2) Substitute
Swift, Personal
Effect: A substitute is created in your space that mirrors your movement, with HP equal to your bloodied value, and is immune to all effects. If you are hit by an odd number attack roll, your substitute is hit in your stead. The substitute remains until ENT.
Sustain Swift R2

SM3) Baton Pass
Interrupt, Burst Sec (1 target)
Trigger: You or an ally within Sec squares is hit by a melee/ranged attack.
Effect: If you are hit by the attack, you teleport to swap with a willing ally within Sec squares. If your ally is hit, he may teleport to swap spaces with you. The two creatures teleporting may exchange any number of buffs, but both parties must be willing and an ability that is gained cannot be sustained. Then the creature teleporting into the space of the one being attacked becomes the new target of the triggering attack. This can result in mark penalties and punishments being applied to the attack.
Special: When you gain a buff during your turn, you can expend this ability to provide all the Rank 3 or lower buffs currently on you to a willing ally within Sec squares, and you also gain the buffs on your ally (if you so wish). The shared buffs may not be sustained.

SM4) Reflect
Free, Personal
Prerequisite: It must be activated on your turn.
Effect: You gain THP equal to your Reserve Value plus Sec, which stacks with your Tank bonus. While you have THP, you are insubstantial and gain half Sec bonus to all defenses. Whenever you lose all your THP, you may expend a Reserve to gain THP equal to your Reserve value plus Sec. This effect lasts until you lose all your THP and choose not to regain it.
