: Up to once per round, if the Fighter with this Tactic reduces a non-minion enemy to 0 or fewer hit points through any direct action, (weapon attacks count, combat maneuver damage counts, poison damage might not, damage inflicted through a magic item might or might not, splash damage from alchemical fire does not count, falling or collision damage does not count, etc. The GM adjudicates all unusual cases.) the fighter can then immediately grant a move action to one ally who can see the fighter. This move action must be taken at that time as a free action, but can be used for any purpose a move action can be used for. | : Up to once per round, if the Fighter with this Tactic reduces a non-minion enemy to 0 or fewer hit points through any direct action, (weapon attacks count, combat maneuver damage counts, poison damage might not, damage inflicted through a magic item might or might not, splash damage from alchemical fire does not count, falling or collision damage does not count, etc. The GM adjudicates all unusual cases.) the fighter can then immediately grant a move action to one ally who can see the fighter.

: The fighter may choose the Challenge effects of one other Technique. Once chosen, this may not be changed. At the beginning of their turn, the fighter may use their original Technique's Combat Challenge effects, or the other. This tactic does not change the Assists that the Technique offers. This change of Challenge effect counts for all attacks until you may choose again. This allows the fighter to make their Challenge stronger or weaker as they wish. | : The fighter may choose the Challenge effects of one other Technique. Once chosen, this may not be changed.

Note that if the Fighter takes Symposiarch of War, they may then choose this tactic a second time, and thus alter the Challenge effects of both of their techniques. | ||

: A fighter with this tactic has such unflappable calm in combat, they Challenge a foe...and then ignore that foe to attack somebody else. Once per encounter, if the fighter lays a Challenge, then ignores that foe to attack another, they may add their Combat Edge plus Fighter level to the damage inflicted by their next successful attack that also lays a challenge. If they do not land an attack that lays another Challenge by the end of the combat, this bonus is lost. This damage is inflicted as the same type of damage as inflicted by that attack, and adds to it for purposes of overcoming Damage Resistance, Energy Resistance, etc. Once the bonus damage is expended, they may Challenge whoever they wish as normal. This Tactic stacks with Hardbitten, so that the Fighter may now apply this bonus twice per encounter. | : A fighter with this tactic has such unflappable calm in combat, they Challenge a foe...and then ignore that foe to attack somebody else.
