Danger Sense

Starting at Level 8, your ability to sense when threats are nearby keeps you and your allies on guard. While adventuring, you and all companions travelling with you have advantage on Reflex saves and Instinct skill checks. In combat, you have advantage on initiative rolls.

Shield-Breaker

At Level 15, your attacks have the potential to damage enemies' armor and shields. Hits with a two-handed axe or battle axe will always cause the target's armor to take a durability check if they're wearing any. If your attack hits a shield, any damage greater than the Shield Rating is dealt to the target and the shield always takes a durability check. Durability checks caused by this feature take a -5 penalty.

Expert Adventurer

At Level 22, your experience in dangerous situations makes you and your team wiser. You get three free Skill Improvements, and each of your allies gets one free skill improvement.

Survival Instinct

At Level 26, you gain a strong protective nature. You gain a +2 feature bonus to all three saves. Whenever an ally within 30 feet of you attempts a save, you attempt the same save and the higher roll becomes the result.
