: Each time the Fighter successfully strikes an enemy with Damage Resistance, | : Each time the Fighter successfully strikes an enemy with Damage Resistance, they reduce that Damage Resistance by three points. This effect lasts until the end of the encounter unless healed. Damage Resistance can be reduced to exactly zero in this way, at which point no further reductions in DR accrue. Instead, the Fighters next successful attack inflicts Vulnerability upon the foe to all weapon and unarmed damage. This Vulnerability is added to the damage of all successful attackers using weapons or unarmed attacks. If the enemy receives any magical healing during the encounter all effects of Destroyer are removed, although the Fighter may immediately begin removing their resistance again. If an enemy has no damage resistance, Destroyer does not work against them. | ||

: At the end of any turn in which the fighter is using Expert Defense, | : At the end of any turn in which the fighter is using Expert Defense, they get temporary hit points equal to their Combat Edge bonus. As always, temporary hit points cannot be stacked, but if this tactic would provide more temporary hit points than those the fighter currently has, they may replace their current temp hit points with these. Note that because this tactic provides an instantaneous source of temporary hit points, this ability plays really well with the 'Healer's Friend' and 'Fixable' tactics. | ||
