SKILL CHALLENGE TALENT TREE
You excel at complex tasks and are always called upon when your allies need something done quickly and done right.
- Guaranteed Boon: Whenever you spend a Force Point to add to a skill
roll in a skill challenge and accrue a failure for that skill check, you regain that Force Point.
- Leading Skill: Whenever you earn a success in a skill challenge, you gain
a +2 insight bonus to your next skill check made with a different skill in the same skill challenge.
- Learn from Mistakes: Whenever you accrue a failure in a skill challenge,
you grant the next ally to take an action in the skill challenge a +2 insight bonus to a skill check, provided that ally takes a different action (and uses a different skill) than you did.
- Try Your Luck: Whenever you accrue a failure in a skill challenge, choose
one ally. The next time that ally uses the same skill that you used to accrue a failure before the end of the skill challenge, that ally rolls two dice on the skill check and keeps the better result.

choose two allies within 12 squares and in your line of sight. Each ally can immediately move up to his or her speed as a reaction.

way you want them to. You can use each of the following actions once per encounter as a swift action on your turn:

sight. That ally moves +5 steps on the condition track and gains a +2 morale bonus to attack rolls and skill checks until the end of your next turn.

of the encounter, as a reaction you can replace the result of any enemy's or ally's d20 roll with the result you rolled for this ability. The enemy or ally must be within your line of sight.
- Word of Warning: Select one ally within 5 squares and in your line of sight. Once before the end of the encounter, as a reaction to that ally having any defense score targeted by a skill check or an attack, you can replace that ally's defense score with your same defense score until the attack or skill check is resolved.
- Prerequisite: Advanced Planning, Get into Position.
- Retaliation: Whenever you move down the condition track as a result of
taking damage that equals or exceeds your damage threshold, the next time you hit and damage a creature or a droid with a melee or a ranged attack before the end of your next turn, you automatically move the target -1 step on the condition track.
