Timely Intervention

Trigger: An enemy within 10 squares targets an ally with an ability. Effect: Hoplon teleports to an unoccupied space adjacent to the enemy and becomes the new target of the ability. He can then make a free strike against the enemy, and if that enemy has r<4] they are taunted until the end of their next turn.

Hold the Line

Last Stand

The first time in an encounter that Hoplon is reduced to 0 Stamina, he instead has 1 Stamina and gains damage immunity 10 until the end of his next turn. When Hoplon is reduced to 0 Stamina again, each ally within 5 squares of him gains damage immunity 3 and deals an extra 5 damage on strikes, all until the end of the encounter.
