: When [[Quelled]], knocked [[Prone]], or sprawled out [[Splayed]], the fighter may simply use a swift action to stand up with no further issues or requirements. This action provokes as normal, but it does not count as movement for purposes of taking 5-foot steps this round. | : When [[Quelled]], knocked [[Prone]], or sprawled out [[Splayed]], the fighter may simply use a swift action to stand up with no further issues or requirements.

: Once per day, a fighter with this tactic can make a move action which ends with a [[Bull Rush]] maneuver as an immediate action. This maneuver is resolved as an interrupt and may disrupt other creature's actions. If this tactic is used to interrupt the move component of a creature's attack action, such as a charge, the attack must be resolved against the fighter, if possible, instead of the creature's original target. If the fighter chooses to use this tactic during a Surprise Round, they may move, and they are not Flat-Footed for the rest of the Surprise Round. | : Once per day, a fighter with this tactic can make a move action which ends with a [[Bull Rush]] maneuver as an immediate action.

: Enemies adjacent to a fighter must use 10 feet of movement to move 5 feet away from the fighter. This also prevents enemies from using a 5-foot step to move away. This ability does not work on enemies using non-traditional movement types, like climb, burrow or fly. | : Enemies adjacent to a fighter must use 10 feet of movement to move 5 feet away from the fighter.

: If an enemy is challenged and has a bleed condition which was inflicted by the fighter (such as with Punishing Stab) the Fighter may force that enemy to take the bleed damage again every time they make a successful attack against the bleeding creature.

: 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. | : Each time the Fighter successfully strikes an enemy with Damage Resistance, they reduce that Damage Resistance by three points.
