Sylirican Phalanx

Trigger The Sylirican phalanx is targeted by a ranged attack that is affected by their resistance or included in an area of effect

Effect The members of the phalanx interlock their shields in a practiced motion. Their resistance to the triggering attack is doubled (or tripled if a non-magical attack) or their weakness to area damage does not apply to the triggering effect.

While well defended from the front, the Sylirican phalanx does not adapt well to being surrounded. Their penalty to AC from being Off-Guard is increased to –3.

Thresholds 110 (3 segments); 55 (2 segments)

Whenever a troop moves, you move one of its segments and the other segments follow behind it. At the end of the movement, you can group the other segments adjacent to the one you moved as you see fit, provided none of them moves farther than the moving segment. If you choose not to move the troop any distance, you can instead reshape the position of all the segments as long as one stays in place.
