Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: You are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, and with all armor and shields (except tower shields).
Auras, Skill Focus (Diplomacy), and Grant Move Action are as per normal, including the options for Draconic Auras and Adrenaline Boost.
Skill Focus (Intimidate): A marshal commands in many ways. He gains Skill Focus (Intimidate) as a bonus feat at 3rd level. If the marshal already has the feat, he can choose a different one.
Extended Intimidation (Ex): A target successfully intimidated by a 5th-level marshal suffers lasting effects. Instead of ending when the marshal leaves, as is normal for the Intimidate skill, the intimidation effect lasts for 24 hours after his departure. Thereafter, the target’s attitude toward the marshal shifts to unfriendly, but a lingering fear remains. Whenever the marshal returns to someone he has previously intimidated, he gains a +4 bonus on his Intimidate check to re-establish the effect.
Skill Focus: A marshal is skilled in deception in personal combat as well as tactical and strategic warfare. He gains Skill Focus (Bluff) as a bonus feat at 3rd level. If the marshal already has the feat, he can choose a different one.
Tactical Strike (Ex): A 6th level marshal is capable of directing the course of a battle while participating. When he attacks an opponent, he may Aid Another as a free action as part of that attack. He may succeed at aiding even if he fails to hit his opponent.
At 10th level, he aids both offense and defense at the same time.
At 13th level, he can use tactical strike with a ranged weapon within 30 ft.
At 14th level, he is treated as occupying all squares surrounding the opponent for purposes of determining if the opponent is flanked.
At 17th level, he can use tactical strike with a ranged weapon within 60 ft.
At 18th level, his attack causes the opponent to be treated as flat-footed until the start of the marshal's next turn.
Improved Demoralization (Ex): A 7th level marshal who uses Intimidate to demoralize an opponent causes the opponent to cower for 1 round then be shaken in the next round.
Swift Demoralization (Ex): A 9th-level marshal can use the demoralize opponent aspect of the Intimidate skill as a swift action rather than as a standard action.
Mass Demoralization (Ex): At 11th level, a marshal has sufficient presence that he can cow multiple foes. Using a Intimidate check, the marshal can demoralize all opponents within 30 feet.
Rally (Ex): At 15th level, a marshal can stop a rout before it begins. As an immediate action, he may use a Bluff, Diplomacy, or Intimidate check as the saving throw or opposed check for anyone within 30 ft. who has been subjected to a mind-affecting effect.
Command Presence (Ex): At 19th level, the marshal becomes so adept at influencing people that he can do so reliably even under adverse conditions. When making a Bluff, Diplomacy, or Intimidate check to change behavior or feint, the marshal may take 10 even if stress and distractions would normally prevent the character from doing so.
