Notes

• The Ranger can use Horde Breaker Follow-Up to make an attack against this creature as a Free Action, even the starting attack misses.
• The follow-up attack can be with a different weapon type, e.g. a ranged horde breaker attack can be followed by a free melee attack against a nearby enemy.
• With the correct enemy positioning, it is possible to inflict the Horde Breaker effect on more than one target. When an enemy with Horde Breaker condition is attacked, the condition expires in other enemies.
• Some weapons applying conditions on hit are triggered to enemies when they receive Horde Breaker condition - likely a bug. Known weapons to interact with Horde Breaker are:
  • The Watcher's Guide can add True Strike to a nearby enemy when hitting the original target.
  • Bow of the Banshee (Frightened), Sussur Greatsword (Silence) and Vision of the Absolute (Blinded) force all enemies receiving Horde Breaker condition to roll saving throws to avoid their effects.
