Traits

Evasion. If Ava is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, she instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the save and only half damage if it fails. It can’t use this trait if it has the Incapacitated condition.

 

Tactical Coordinator. Ava and allies within 30 feet of her have advantage on initiative rolls. Additionally, Ava's attacks do not require advantage to function at maximum efficiency.

 

Actions

Multiattack. Ava makes four attacks, using Shortsword or Light Crossbow in any combination.

Shortsword. Melee Attack Roll: +10, reach 5 ft. Hit: 14 (3d6 + 4) Piercing damage plus 120(6d6) Bleeding damage

Light Crossbow (Tactical Frame). Ranged Attack Roll: +10, range 80/320 ft. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) Piercing damage

Bonus Actions

Cunning Action. Ava takes the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

Commanding Re-position. Ava chooses one willing ally she can see within 30 feet. That ally can immediately use its reaction to move up to half its speed without provoking opportunity attacks.

Reactions

Bodyshield (Melee or Ranged). If Durock (or another designated Ward) within 10 feet of Ava is targeted by an attack Ava can see, Ava swaps places with the Ward. The Ward moves to an adjacent unoccupied space and falls Prone, gaining total cover from the triggering attack. Ava becomes the new target of the attack.

Counter Strike (Crosshair Placement). Immediately after Ava uses her Bodyshield reaction, or when an enemy within 80 feet hits an ally with an attack, Ava can make one Light Crossbow attack against that enemy. This attack bypasses the normal restriction of only having one reaction per round, but she cannot use it if she is incapacitated.

Counter Strike (Sword Strike). Immediately after Ava uses her Bodyshield reaction, or when an enemy within 80 feet hits an ally with an attack, Ava can make two Shortsword attacks against that enemy. This attack bypasses the normal restriction of only having one reaction per round, but she cannot use it if she is incapacitated.

Habitat: Any
