The image of a large, maned felid is a powerfully inspiring icon, one known to rally together its pride of warriors, and galvanize them into action with its bellowing roar. Adepts of the Golden Lion discipline are warrior chiefs, leaders of irregulars and civilian militiamen rather than properly trained soldiers who have less need for shouts and strikes meant for invoking courage. Golden Lion attacks incorporate sudden roars to snap allies into focus, and sudden, flashy strikes to inspire fearful hearts.
Command is the key skill of the Golden Lion school, a clarion voice to pierce the fog of battle and give direction to panicked minds. The Golden Lion school may have been a branch discipline of the White Raven, spinning off to focus on the sorts of commands more useful for getting results out of civilian conscripts.
Level 1: Apprentice
-Weapon (Ordinary): Use Ordinary weapons with your martial maneuvers.
-Action (Aid Another): Use Aid Another actions in martial maneuvers. If you use this to aid another character's attack, any attack-related benefits from the special attack apply to the aided attack.
Level 2: Initiate
(-2)Pyrite Battle Cat: This attack can't be used if you have failed a Fear test during the current scene. If you are immune to fear for any reason, you cannot use this attack unless you choose to be affected by fear, in which case you gain a free raise on tests against Fear in place of the immunity during the current scene.
(2)Roaring Alpha Beast: Apply only to an action that includes an attack. Allies within a number of meters equal to your martial adept level that are suffering effects on the Shock table and can hear you immediately attempt to snap out of those effects.
Level 3: Journeyman
(-1)Skill (Command): As part of this attack, make a Command check against the Static Defense of the target. If it fails, the attack fails.
(3)Electrum Pride Direction: An ally adjacent to you that hasn't yet acted during the current round takes their turn immediately after yours ends instead of their normal initiative count this round.
Level 4: Master
-Mastery (Lord of the Pridelands): Allies within 5m of you get +1k0 on saving throws and tests against Fear or Insanity.
(4)Golden General's Victory: If the attack hits, you can spend any number of resource points. Each ally adjacent to you recovers 1 Hit Point for each resource point spent.
Level 5: Grandmaster
(4)Triumphant Orichalcum Lion: The attack gains a raise to damage for each enemy that you have inflicted critical damage to during the current scene, up to your martial adept level.
