Devrin's Cunning Stance
A marshal channels a legendary schemer's guile into their stance — a convincing bluff on the way in widens the aura's reach and bite.
You've learned Devrin Arlos's guileful ways, and his sly teachings help you remind your allies to keep their wits about them. When you use this action, attempt a Deception check. The DC is usually a standard-difficulty DC of your level, but the GM can assign a different DC based on the circumstances. The effect depends on the result of your check.
Critical Success Your marshal's aura increases to a 20-foot emanation, and it grants you and your allies a +1 status bonus to skill checks. When you or an ally in the aura successfully Strike a flat-footed enemy, that enemy can't use reactions until the beginning of its next turn.
Success As critical success, but your aura's size doesn't increase.
Failure You fail to enter the stance.
Critical Failure You fail to enter the stance and can't take this action again for 1 minute.
