Striking you or your allies is a dangerous proposition, as any attack leaves the striker open to counterattack. Your presence keeps your allies aware of such openings.

As a simple action, you extend an aura that emanates from you in a Close Burst 5. This lasts until the end of your next turn. You may sustain this aura as a simple action. When you activate or sustain this aura, you gain one Grit, to a maximum equal to twice your level.

Any allies that start their turn within your aura that is struck for damage immediately inflicts one point of damage upon their attack for each die of damage that they take. This damage will be of any sort that their held weapon, or their unarmed strikes, could inflict.

Aura: You may only have a single Aura active at a time. If you activate a different Aura, your current Aura immediately collapses.
