If | : Once per encounter, as a standard action, a fighter with this tactic makes a single melee or ranged attack against an enemy creature. If the fighter hits with this attack, it does normal damage and the target is rendered [[Flat-Footed]] until it can act again. The fighter must declare they are using this tactic prior to making the attack roll. This tactic can be used in the same attack as the Smash Magic Tactic, and if it hits, the attack does the normal damage, twice. This damage is added together for purposes of overcoming DR. | ||

: Once per encounter, a fighter with this tactic can make a melee or ranged attack against an opponent as a standard action and attempt to dispel magical effects on the target.

If the attack hits, the attack deals normal damage and the opponent is afflicted by [[Dispel Magic, Greater (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell)|Greater Dispel Magic]], using the 'targeted dispel' option, using his Fighter class level plus his Combat Edge as the caster level. The fighter must declare they are using this tactic prior to making the attack roll. It is possible to combine this tactic with any one of Onslaught, Gut Shot or Ankle Smash, if desired. | ||

The fighter must specify this second weapon at the time this tactic is selected, and it may not be changed. | ||

If either roll hits and the other misses, the fighter resolves the attack as a normal hit. If both rolls hit, the fighter automatically confirms a critical hit. The fighter must declare they are using this tactic prior to making the attack roll. | ||

Note that the fighter may be subject to attacks of opportunity from those enemies, and if the fighter has any powers, abilities, or effects which would normally negate a foe's ability to make attacks of opportunity, those powers, abilities, or effects do not function for the duration of the Bristling Charge. | ||

: The Fighter adds | : The Fighter adds their Challenge modifier (+1 to +4) to their Perception checks in addition to his Combat Edge modifier (that comes from Vigilance) for visual-based detection attempts, and invisibility grants no perception modifiers against such checks. The fighter also takes no perception check penalties for the first "Combat Edge bonus times ten feet" of range for visual checks. The fighter can also issue a Fighters Challenge to a range of sixty feet when using ranged or thrown weapons. Lastly, the fighter now ignores the first two range increment penalties for ranged or thrown weapons. | ||

: Once per encounter as a free action, the Fighter may ignore the negative effects of any one deleterious effect, including but not limited to, negative level loss, ability damage, bleed, aging, and any normal status condition such as helpless, pinned, or prone, including dying or even dead. Note that, even though the fighter is not taking any penalties from the ignored effect, | : Once per encounter as a free action, the Fighter may ignore the negative effects of any one deleterious effect, including but not limited to, negative level loss, ability damage, bleed, aging, and any normal status condition such as helpless, pinned, or prone, including dying or even dead. Note that, even though the fighter is not taking any penalties from the ignored effect, the fighter still has the effect, and may not even begin to save against it until Invincible Will's duration expires. The Fighter may ignore the deleterious effect for a number of rounds equal to half their combat edge bonus, rounded down. Temporary hit points still apply normally even if the Fighter is at negative hit points. If the fighter chooses to ignore a 'dead' status condition, they may continue to act until they run out of rounds of effect of Invincible Will, or their damage reaches a negative total equal to their maximum hit point total, at which point they are considered destroyed. Note: Even though a Fighter may be aware and moving and talking and acting while dead, they still have the dead condition. Hit point healing will not remove the dead condition, and they will still require a raise dead, resurrection, or similar effect. | ||

This can be used outside of their normal turn, if they wish to, as normal. The fighter must declare they are using this tactic prior to making the attack roll. Note that this attack, an attack of opportunity, and the bonus attack from a Fighter's Challenge DO NOT stack if they are all triggered by the same action, but Invisible Strike can be declared at any time. It is thus wise to ;use up; Invisible Strike early, if an attack of opportunity or Challenge attack might possibly interfere with this usage. | ||
