SPECIAL ABILITIES

Challenge: Once per day as a swift action, Alain may challenge an
enemy he sees. Until that enemy is slain, Alain gains a +1 damage
bonus against that enemy but takes a –2 AC penalty against any
other enemies. As long as he is the only creature other than
Donahan who threatens the target of his challenge, he gains an
extra +1 morale bonus on melee damage rolls against that target.

Mounted Combat: Once per round when his mount is hit, Alain may
attempt a Ride check as an immediate action to negate the hit. The
DC is equal to the opponent’s attack roll.
Outflank Whenever Alain and an ally with this feat are flanking the
same creature, his flanking bonus on attack rolls increases to +4.
In addition, whenever he scores a critical hit against the flanked
creature, it provokes an attack of opportunity from his ally.

Order of the Cockatrice: Alain deals additional damage against
targets of his challenge ability that no one else threatens. He must
act with self-interest, never refusing an opportunity to increase his
stature, prestige, and power. If he fails to uphold this edict, he loses
the order’s benefit to his challenge ability for 24 hours.

Ride-By Attack: When Alain performs a charge while mounted, he can move and attack as a standard charge, then continue his movement
past the attack target without provoking an attack of opportunity
from that target. He can move up to twice his mounted speed.
Tactician Alain receives Outflank as a bonus feat. Once per day as a
standard action, he can grant this feat to all allies within 30 feet
who can see and hear him; this lasts for 3 rounds.
