Squad Leader
Commanding Officer
You gain a single follower. Choose either the aggressive, defensive, or utility follower template for your follower, generating the follower’s statistics based on the rules for Followers. This follower gains one Armor Proficiency feat of your choice and Weapon Proficiency (rifles), in addition to those provided by the follower templates. The follower must meet the prerequisites for the Armor Proficiency feat you select. You can select this talent multiple times. Each time you do, you gain one additional follower (maximum of three followers).
Coordinate Tactics
Each of your followers gains the Coordinated Attack feat, provided he meets the prerequisite. If your follower later meets the prerequisite for the feat, he gains the feat at that time.
- Prerequisite: Commanding Officer
Fire at Will
As a full-round action, you and one of your followers can make a ranged attack against one target (each) in line of sight. You each take a -5 penalty to your attack rolls.
- Prerequisite: Commanding Officer, BAB +5
Squad Actions
You and your squad have learned to work together as a team, and have an established set of tactics that you have practiced to perfection. You can use any of the following actions on your turn.
- Autofire Barrage: As a standard action, you can make an autofire attack against legal target spaces. For each of your followers who is armed with a ranged weapon set on autofire and has line of sight to the area targeted by your autofire, you can designate one additional square as targeted by your autofire (that square must be adjacent to your original target area).
- Open Fire: As a standard action, make a ranged attack against a single target. For each of your followers who is armed with a ranged weapon and has line of sight to the target, add +2 to your damage roll on a successful hit.
- Painted Target: As a standard action, make a ranged attack against a single target. You gain a competence bonus on your attack roll equal to the number of your followers who are armed with a ranged weapon and have line of sight to the target. Thus, if you have three armed followers within line of sight to the target, you gain a +3 competence bonus on your attack roll.
