Description
Tactitions control the battlefield by staying between the enemy and his party. They differ from soldiers in how they achieve that. A tactition with either stand back and move the oppoenents about using arcane techniques; charge forth and deliver divine fury in close combat, or focus on reactions and countering with keen perception of the enemy.
Power sources
Tactitions can take advantage of magical Arcane, keen situational Guile, or supernatural Divine.
Arcane
Tactitions specializing in Arcane favor range and subtley over brute force. They are secondary controllers.
Guile
A Tactition can focus on movement and reactions to changes on the battlefield. Near or far, they already know what move you will make and how to counter it.
Divine
Whether championing the cause of a divine entity like a Paladin, or focusing oneself as a bastion of truth and justice, a Divine Tactition will charge forth into battle. He will act as a secondary leader to bolster his allies as he strikes his foes with divine ferver.
Class Mechanic
Tactic Points: As a tactician is fighting, they will remember cues and weaknesses from thier enemy. By exploting what they have remembered, they can enhance the power of thier attacks.
A tactician has a pool of points, called ‘tactic points’. Any at will with the tactical keyword will generate 1 tactic point on a hit if it was not enhanced using the tactic pool.
The tactic pool starts at 0. It is maxed out at 3. The limit increases to 5 at level 11, and finally reaches 7 at level 21.
The pool automatically empties during a short rest.
Some powers will have a ‘tactic’ cost. Either before or after the attack roll has been made, the tactician my choose to pay the tactic cost listed to gain the effect. The tactician must have enough tactic points to cover the cost. Entries in the tactic cost section overwrite previous entries. A power enhanced this way will not generate tactic points, even if it hits.
