Reinforce + Void Approach
Reinforcing a position is a Movement and Support Action with a  TN 2 Tactics check. Success increases TN of attacks targeting your cohort by 1 + 1 per 2 bonus successes for one round.
In the  Void Stance: You do not receive strife from Strife symbols on your kept dice. You can still receive strife from other sources.
Details
Description: You call for your troops to dig in and hold a position at all costs.
Activation: As a Movement and Support action, you may make a TN 2 Tactics check to have your cohort dig in at one chosen position.
Effects: If you succeed, increase the TN of Attack action checks targeting your cohort by 1, plus an additional 1 per two bonus successes. This effect persists for one round.
If you choose an unoccupied fortification or piece of terrain this way, you are considered to be occupying it until you narratively leave it or perform an action other than Challenge or Reinforce. This modifies the Attrition done to your unit in Assault actions by opposing Leaders.
 
Opportunity Uses
*
During the next Attack action check you make before the end of your next turn, ignore one terrain quality (see page 267) of your choice.
*+
During a Support action check, increase your Initiative value by 1 per * spent this way. This is for the whole conflict, not just this turn.
**
Ignore the effects of one condition you are suffering until the end of your next turn.
* +
Your army and each enemy army suffer 2 attrition per *  spent this way.
* *
When you perform a Support action, after its effects are resolved, you may immediately perform Challenge action targeting an enemy cohort's leader.
* *
Increase the army's strength and discipline by 3. This persists until the end of the scene.
 
Opportunity Uses

 If you failed, determine the easiest way to accomplish the task you were attempting (skill and approach).
*+
Remove 1 strife you gained from this check per * spent this way.
**
Provide assistance to the next character to attempt a check to accomplish something similar
*
If you failed, provide assistance to the next character trying to accomplish the same action (p. 298 CRB)
*
Choose a ring other than Void. Reduce the TN of your next check by 1 if it uses that ring.
*+
Feel a chill down your spine, notice a sudden silence, or detect another sign of the supernatural if there is a spiritual disturbance in the scene. Extra * gives an increasingly precise location for the supernatural occurrence.

Special Circumstance Opportunities
In Shadowlands
** Though Jigoku’s power weighs heavily upon them, you are undeterred. By drawing on memories of the un-Tainted lands north of the wall, you can keep yourself focused and ignore all Strife results on your next check.
Against Tainted Threats
** or *** If the character spends**, they discern that the kami have fled, as well as the type of disturbance (mahō, kansen, or similar). If the character spends ***, they can also determine the total combat Military threat rating of all Tainted beings that caused the kami to flee.
While Tainted
**+ The unnatural insights of the kansen voice themselves wordlessly to you, granting knowledge you could not possibly have known otherwise. You learn something relevant to the current situation, appropriate in scope to the number of  *  spent. For each * spent in this way, you receive 1 strife due to the unnatural means by which you gained this knowledge.
