As a Standard Action, you can aid an ally's next skill check or attack roll, or you can interfere with an enemy's attacks.
Aiding a Skill Check or Ability Check[]
You can help another character achieve success on their Skill Check or Ability Check by making the same kind of Skill Check or Ability Check in a cooperative effort. If you roll a 10 or higher on your check, the character you are helping receives a +2 bonus on their own check.
You can't Take 10 on a Skill Check or Ability Check to Aid Another.
Aiding an Attack Roll[]
In combat, you can Aid Another character's attack by forcing an opponent to avoid your own attacks, making it more difficult for them to avoid your ally. Select an opponent and make an attack against a Reflex Defense of 10. If you succeed, you grant a +2 bonus on a single ally's next attack roll against that opponent.
Suppressing an Enemy[]
In combat, you can distract or interfere with an opponent, making their attacks more difficult. Select an opponent and make an attack against a Reflex Defense of 10. If you succeed, that opponent takes a -2 penalty on its next attack roll.
