When you learn techniques through the champion class, you can choose from any summarized in this page. Click each technique's name for a full description.

• Each technique is listed by “action,” “reaction,” or “bonus action.” This specifies which is needed to perform the technique.
• Using a technique always requires you to expend a Stamina Die, even if you don’t roll it.
• If a technique calls for you to “add your Stamina Die” to another number, you roll your Stamina Die and then add the result to the other number. This counts as adding a bonus die, and doesn't stack with other effects that add bonus dice.
• If a technique calls for a save, the save DC equals the higher of your Strength DC and your Dexterity DC, unless the technique specifies otherwise.
• If you have the Target Strike feature, you can make a Target Strike with an attack that comes from a technique. In some cases this even means adding two Stamina Dice to a single attack! Different techniques can’t be added together however, as each is a separate action.

Other heroes can gain techniques through the Technician feat, and sometimes through class features.

Master Techniques

Upon reaching 11th level, a champion can learn any two master techniques from the following options. As with a normal technique you must expend a Stamina Die to use any master technique.
