: The Fighter may choose to dominate the battlefield as if they were one size category larger. This Tactic can be activated as a swift action and does not change their actual size or combat abilities in any way. It does give them a 'virtual size' to all enemies for purposes of combat movement and determination of flanks. On a combat board, a size medium fighter uses a standard one-space figure, but is considered to occupy their space and three others in a 2x2 square.

On a combat board, a size medium fighter uses a standard one-space figure, but is considered to occupy their space and three others in a 2x2 square. In essence, a size medium Fighter creates three contiguous squares adjacent to themselves which enemies cannot move into without using [[Might]], an [[Overrun]] Maneuver Offense check, or other exceptional means. The Fighter can change where they are within their four-square virtual space once per round at any point as a swift action, which does not interfere with the use of a five-foot step. They cannot move their virtual space on top of an enemy, although allies ignore it. If a fighter moves in such a way that his virtual space would be squeezed by an enemy, the Tactic ends immediately (though not if an attacking creature instigates the squeeze). A medium sized Fighter using Gigantic Presence could, for example, completely block a ten foot wide corridor by himself, and could even force all enemies to remain five feet away from his front facing. Size large fighters using Gigantic Presence have a virtual space of 3x3, a size huge fighter would have a virtual space of 4x4, etc. | ||
