HDF Commander

A commander wears the long red cloak of the line officer over sealed duty plate so that a scattered company can find the man giving orders. He carries a plasma pistol and a command slate, and he spends the fight reading the field and moving troopers into position. Once per day he can call an orbital barrage onto a marked grid.

    Allied creatures within 60 feet that can hear the commander have advantage on saving throws against being Frightened.
