===Hoplomachus Tricks===

Novicius Gladiators have 0 tricks. Palus Gladiators select 3 tricks. Primus Palus Gladiators gain all 7 tricks.

* '''Determination'''
If an attack reduces the Gladiator to ''exactly'' 0 Life Points, roll a D6. If you roll an odd number, the Gladiator immediately regains that many Life Points.
* '''Endurance'''
If, at the start of his turn, the Hoplomachus has an odd number of Life Points, he gains +1 Life Point.
* '''Takedown'''
If the Hoplomachus hits an opponent with a melee attack, and rolls a "6" on the to-hit roll, then that opponent is knocked ''prone'' immediately after the attack. All further attacks against a ''prone'' target count as being made against his rear facing, regardless of which way the gladiator is facing. A ''prone'' target cannot turn-to-face as a reaction. A ''prone'' gladiator cannot make attacks. A ''prone'' gladiator can stand up from prone by spending 3 movement points. 
* '''Relentless'''
The Hoplomachus ignores any increase in movement cost to move a square. As long as he is able to move, it always costs him one movement point to move to an adjacent square.
* '''Stand firm'''
The Hoplomachus cannot be forced to move by another gladiator's tricks. Ignore any forced movement effects applied to him.
* '''Toe to Toe'''
The gladiator may spend 3 movement points to make a melee attack against an adjacent enemy. This is in addition to his normal attacks this round.
* '''Will to Live'''
The gladiator receives a +1 bonus to the dice roll on Survival checks.
