challenges are thrown your way.

Battle Analysis Edit

As a Swift Action, you can make a DC 15 Knowledge (Tactics) check. If the check succeeds, you know which
allies and opponents in your line of sight are reduced to at least half of their maximum total hit points.

Cover Fire Edit

Prerequisite: Battle Analysis
When you make a ranged attack with a Pistol or Rifle, all allies within 6 squares of you when you made the
attack gain a +1 bonus to Reflex Defense until the start of your next turn. Allies within range don't need to be
within your line of sight to gain the bonus.

Demolitionist Edit
When you use the Mechanics skill to place an Explosive device, the explosion deals +2 dice of damage. You
may take this Talent multiple times; its effects stack.

Draw Fire Edit

You can distract opponents and convince them that you are the most tempting (Or most dangerous) target in
the area. As a Swift Action, make a Persuasion check and compare the result to the Will Defense of all
opponents within line of sight. If the check result exceeds an opponent's Will Defense, that opponent cannot
attack any character within 6 squares of you until the start of your next turn as long as you do not
have Cover against that opponent. (The affected opponent may still attack you, however.)

Harm's Way Edit

Prerequisite: Trained in Initiative
Once per round, you may spend a Swift Action to shield a single adjacent ally from attacks, taking the damage
and suffering the ill effects in your ally's stead. Until the start of your next turn, any attack made against the
protected ally targets you instead. You may elect not to shield your protected ally against a given attack,
provided the decision is made before the attack roll is made.

Indomitable Edit
Once per day as a Swift Action, you can move +5 steps on the Condition Track. This does not remove
any Persistent Conditions that may be affecting you.

You can select this talent multiple times. Each time you select this Talent, you can use it one additional time
per day.

Tough as Nails Edit

You can catch a Second Wind one extra time per day. If you have this Talent and the Extra Second Wind feat,
you can catch your Second Wind a total of three times per day.

Additional Commando Talents Edit

Coordinated Effort Edit

Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Galaxy of Intrigue
Prerequisites: Dedicated Protector, Harm's Way
When you use the Aid Another Action to grant a bonus on attack rolls, if you are aiding the target of
your Dedicated Protector Talent, that ally also gains a +2 bonus to damage rolls on the attack you aided.

Dedicated Guardian Edit

Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Galaxy of Intrigue
Prerequisites: Dedicated Protector, Harm's Way

You can use each of the following Actions once per encounter:

 Blast Shield: Spend a Swift Action. Until the end of your next turn, the ally who is under the effects of
your Dedicated Protector Talent is treated as having the Evasion Talent for the purposes of
determining damage from an Area Attack. If the ally already has Evasion, the damage from a
successful Area Attack is reduced by 1 die.
 Take the Pain: Whenever your Dedicated Protector target would move down the Condition Track, you
can, as a Reaction, choose to move the same number of steps down the Condition Track instead
(Preventing the ally from moving down the Condition Track).
 Team Effort: Spend a Swift Action. Until the end of your next turn, while you are adjacent to
your Dedicated Protector target, any enemy that is adjacent to you and to that ally is
considered Flanked.

only be the target of this Talent once per encounter.

instead of the normal -2 penalty. Only 1 character may gain the benefits of this Talent against a given target at
a time.

Out of Harm's Way Edit

Prerequisites: Harm's Way, Trained in Initiative
As a Reaction, when you use the Harm's Way Talent (Which still requires a Swift Action to activate), you can
move into the square of the ally you are protecting, and move the ally to any legal square adjacent to you. This
movement does not provoke Attacks of Opportunity.
