rdfs:label	Diabolic stratagem
rdfs:comment	Diabolic stratagem was introduced in "Class Acts: Warlord: Devilish tricks from the ancient warmongers of Bael Turath" by Stephen Radney-Macfarland in Dragon #369. It is considered an average choice, as it relies on the monster following through blindly on given marks in order to perform excessive damage potential. If the GM is tactically alert, it will generally require forcing the monster to attack.[Char-op Warlord]
Attack	Strength vs. Reflex
Hit	"1[W] + Strength modifier damage, and the target is marked until the end of your next turn."
