Call of the Strategist

Subclasses Designed by Mal S

About these subclasses

Whereas the Slayer is about raw damage and the Brave is about courage in battle, the Strategist is about tactics and positioning, particularly with their interactions with allies on the battlefield as well as their Attack of Opportunity feature. Arsenal is meant to let them easily equip the right weapon for the right situation, ensuring a level of adaptability that is usually necessary for battlefield control. Martial Aid is something of a mirror to the Primal Origin Sorcerer’s Enchanted Aid. Battlefield Tactics give many different options to reposition the battlefield and change the tide in the Warrior’s favor.

Call of the Strategist

Call of the Strategist

Play the Call of the Strategist if you want preemptive control over the battlefield.

Foundation
Tier 1

Exploiting Weak Spots: When an ally is within Close range of you, they can use your Attack of Opportunity feature. Additionally, if you or an ally succeeds on Attack of Opportunity’s Reaction Roll, the adversary becomes temporarily Vulnerable.

Arsenal: You no longer need to mark a Stress to switch your Active Weapon with an Inventory Weapon during a dangerous situation.

Specialization
Tier 2

Martial Aid: You can enhance the martial prowess of others with your presence. When you Help an Ally with an attack roll using a weapon or unarmed strike, you can roll a d8 as your advantage die. Once per long rest, after an ally fails an attack roll with your help, they can reroll one of their Duality Dice.

Mastery
Tier 3

Battlefield Tactics: When you succeed with Hope on an attack roll, you can choose to do one of the following:

  • Impose disadvantage on the next attack the target makes.
  • Temporarily Distract the target, giving them a -2 penalty to their Difficulty.
  • Switch places with an ally within Close range without having to make an Agility Roll.
  • Push the target back to Very Close range from its current position.
