Traits
Thunderstruck
Trigger: An enemy within distance deals damage to the taxiarch. Effect: After the ability is resolved, the target is teleported up to 5 squares and is thunderstruck (save ends). A thunderstruck creature has lightning weakness 5, and the taxiarch gains an edge on power rolls against them.
End Effect
At the end of each of their turns, the taxiarch can take 15 damage to end one effect on them that can be ended by a saving throw. This damage can't be reduced in any way.
