Not just anybody can do this, you know. Well, okay, they can if they have this pattern. But otherwise...

Resolute Creature Pattern (+ CR)

Alignment: changes to True Lawful
Subtype: add Lawful to subtypes


Resolute Creature is a pattern that can be added to any creature that is a Lawful variant of a base creature. Fascist Drow, highly organized Cave Trolls, and even militaristic Goblins all can be created with this pattern. Resolute Creature is also really useful for representing elite 'militaristic' monsters. Fire Giant commanders, Devils, highly-organized bands of Orcs or Ogres, or even simply Constituents who are corrupt members of the Watch or some foreign army, all can be represented by this pattern.

This threatening creature is tidy, squared away, and well-presented. It seems to relish order, and despise the undisciplined.

Smite Chaos (Su; Resolute Creature Pattern)

Once per encounter, as a swift action, a Resolute creature may choose one chaos-aligned creature to Smite. Once it has declared its Smite Chaos target, it adds a +3 bonus to melee attack rolls, and a damage bonus, against that target only, of 2 points of damage, inflicted as stilling (energy, uncommon) damage. Smite Chaos persists until the target is dead or the end of the encounter.
