Semyon (5-6)

Semyon orders his troops to fire, selecting a single target he can see. All allies that can hear or see him gain a +1 status bonus to attack and damage rolls against that creature until the beginning of Semyon's next turn. (Note: The Guiding Words effect provides this bonus)

Effect: Davai!

With their rifles' firing ability ruined beyond repair, the soldiers put their gunpowder reserves to use, making explosive arrows and rigging their guns to let off sparks on each successful bayonet Strike. On a critical hit with the bayonet, the target catches fire, taking 1d8 persistent fire damage (DC 21 reflex negates).

The Russian soldiers have trained extensively to make good use of cover. They receive a +5 circumstance bonus to AC from greater cover and a +3 circumstance bonus from standard cover, rather than +4 and +2, respectively
