[QUOTE="xiphumor, post: 9249706, member: 7033055"] [ATTACH type="full"]344450[/ATTACH] In February (barring unforeseen circumstances), I’ll be thrilled to bring you the second release from Speaks & Spells Publishing: [I]Secrets of the Selkies[/I]!

Let’s come out the gate swinging by taking a peak at a [I]brand new combat tradition[/I], the [B][I]Selfless Sentinel![/I][/B] [HEADING=2]Selfless Sentinel Maneuvers[/HEADING] [I]Devotion, Protection, Selflessness[/I] True strength lies not in the ability to overpower the weak, but in the willingness to suffer what others cannot. Those who follow the Selfless Sentinel tradition cultivate a willingness to sacrifice themselves for others, even to the point of laying down their lives if necessary. [HEADING=2]Bodyguard Stance (1 points)[/HEADING] [I]1st degree Selfless Sentinel bonus action (stance)[/I] Instead of half cover, you provide three-quarters cover to allies within 5 feet of you. [HEADING=2]Selfless Shove (1–3 points)[/HEADING] [I]1st degree Selfless Sentinel reaction[/I] As a reaction to an ally within 5 feet of you and no more than one size larger than you being forced to make a saving throw against a harmful effect that targets an area, you may enter your ally’s space and shove them in any direction away from you a number of feet equal to 10 + 5 for every point of exertion spent on this maneuver, potentially removing them from the area of effect but subjecting you to it. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks. [HEADING=2]Stay Close (1 point)[/HEADING] [I]1st degree Selfless Sentinel bonus action[/I] Choose an ally within 5 feet of you when you activate this maneuver. Until the end of your turn, whenever you use your movement, your ally can use their reaction to move along with you so long as they remain within 5 feet of you and do not move a distance greater than their speed. [HEADING=2]Take the Hit (1 point)[/HEADING] [I]1st degree Selfless Sentinel reaction[/I] In reaction to a creature within 5 feet of you being hit by an attack, you may use your reaction to swap places with them, becoming the target of the attack instead.
