Whenever I have a military force of a good alignment, this is a trait I've been adding to the mix. Not only does it make them more formidable, but I also feel it makes my players look a bit more toward tactics.


Brothers In Arms (trait)


So long as the soldier is within 5 squares of at least one other creature with Brothers in Arms, it gains +1 to AC and attack rolls.


And in some cases (usually on one - two creatures per encounter group), I give the following triggered action to pair with it.



My Fallen Brothers (triggered action)


Trigger: Another creature with Brothers In Arms within 5 squares drops to zero hit points


Attack: Immediate reaction. Close burst one.


+14 v. Fortitude. 2d8+6 and ongoing 5 damage. The soldier gets +1 to subsequent attack rolls until the end of the encounter.



This is just something I added to the soldiers in my Homebrew World, and I feel it adds not only challenge to encounters, but flavor to the campaign as well. It adds a kind of role playing feature by giving a tangible bonus to these creatures for fighting with and for one another.



Let me know what ya'll think.
