The beacon subclasses get access to some special skills that allow them to buff their allies in combat.
Command.
Use an action to command an ally to take an action during your turn. You can command your allies to move, make attacks, defend, reload weapons, brace, defend, or focus. Taking actions in this way does not require your ally to spend stat points to complete the action, but does not allow them to make active rerolls.Each target can only benefit from this effect once on your turn.
Rally
Use an action to rally an ally against harmful effects. Your ally can make a check against any ongoing effect (such as from a spell or from madness) without expending stat points. Each target can only benefit from this effect once on your turn.
Healer’s Kit
Outside of combat, use a healer’s kit to attempt to heal your allies wounds. Roll 1d6 for each point of Health they are missing. On a 4+ that point of Health is restored. You can carry multiple healer’s kits.
Sermon
Outside of combat give an inspiring speech to your comrades. Each ally that can hear you can roll 1d6 for each point of Sanity they are missing. On a 4+ that point of Sanity is restored. This trait can be used multiple times, but each time it is used the DC to restore sanity increases by 1.
Potion Kit
Your character starts with three potions. Roll on the potion table to determine which potions you start with. Once during downtime you can attempt to craft three additional potions of your choice. Roll 3d6. On a result of 4+ you are successful.
