Exthenios clutches Aerekostes with a literal death grip. Attempts to <a href="/action/disarm">Disarm</a> him of the weapon are treated as one degree of success lower.

Death Grip

Trigger A creature other than the target of Engaging Duel takes a hostile action against Exthenios or uses a spell or ability that affects the target of Engaging Duel
Requirements Exthenios has a creature under the effects of Engaging Duel<hr/>Effect Exthenios makes a melee Strike against the triggering creature, or a void bolt Strike if the creature isn&#x27;t within his reach. If the Strike is a success, the creature must attempt a DC 7 Flat (or a DC 12 Flat if Exthenios&#x27;s Strike was a critical success). On a failure, the triggering action is disrupted.

My Fight!

The creature treats its saving throws with the associated save as one degree of success better than it rolled. This is not cumulative with other effects that change their degree of success, like the incapacitation trait (except for rolling a natural 1 or 20). Each time the monster gains mythic resilience, choose one save. The ability should apply to the creature&#x27;s highest saves first.

Mythic Resilience (Reflex and Will)

Reactive Strike

Shield Block

Void Healing

Exthenios singles out a creature he can see, calling them to face him directly. Exthenios gains a +1 circumstance bonus to Strikes and DCs against the targeted creature. If the creature takes an action that affects anyone other than themselves or Exthenios, this bonus increases to +2 until the end of Exthenios&#x27;s next turn. Exthenios takes a –1 circumstance penalty to all checks and DCs against any creature other than the target of the Engaging Duel. These effects last until Exthenios uses Engaging Duel again.

Engaging Duel

The creature has a pool of 3 Mythic Points, and can spend those Mythic Points for any of the actions it has.

Mythic Power

Cost 1 Mythic Point<hr/>Effect The creature attempts its next skill check with a +4 bonus and is considered to have mythic proficiency for that check. This applies to one skill when this ability is gained and a second skill if the creature is 12th level or higher.

Mythic Skill (Acrobatics)

Exthenios deals an extra 1d6 precision damage to the target of his Engaging Duel.

Precise Duelist

Cost 1 Mythic Point<hr/>Effect Exthenios automatically ends one effect that would give him a circumstance penalty to Speed. When he attempts to <a href="/action/escape">Escape</a> an effect that has him <a href="/condition/immobilized">Immobilized</a>, <a href="/condition/grabbed">Grabbed</a>, or <a href="/condition/restrained">Restrained</a>, he automatically succeeds.
