Traits

Withstand: The first time this creature would be reduced to 0 HP, they go to 1 HP instead.

Actions

Submachine: Major action - Ranged weapon attack, gun, 50 ft. range, single-target, 30 damage, multiattack (2). Outmaneuver Ruling: Major action - Ranged psionic attack, 100 ft. range, single-target, 30 damage, Doom (7), target and Judge switch places. Discovery: Special - When the Judge Discerns a target, they also Distract but with +4 to crit and Empower. Court Order: Special - When the Judge starts/maintains Grapple, they have a range of 100 feet and uses WIS than STR. Contempt: Minor action - Melee psionic attack, 100 ft. range, single-target, auto-hits, 18 damage, grappled targets only. Bloodied Focus: Special - When the Judge is at half HP or less, they ignore all maluses and disadvantage to attack rolls and skill checks.

Tactics

Open with Court Order then Contempt as a grappler if target has range and speed. Otherwise, Discovery and Submachine. Outmaneuver Ruling becomes more viable in Tier 4 if used as support with lower CR.

Description

The judge, also known as the centaur, can move as a knight or one space in any orthogonal direction. These bureaucrats are uniquely charged with military tribunals on the battlefield, empowered as judge, jury, and executioner.
