The Tactician’s Manual is an instructional manual describing advanced martial techniques. Talent can only take you so far in combat; this manual will help you expand your understanding of strategy, tactical warfare, and outwitting your opponents. The Manual is a generalist’s guide to tactics, covering a wide array of tactical knowledge from siege-breaking to siege-defense; from dueling in single combat to taking on multiple enemies at once.
Contained within this manuscript are nine new subclasses tactical characters; a host of new backgrounds, talents, and feats for characters trained in the art of warfare; 6 new legendary items which scale as you increase in power specialized for martial characters and those who take command of the battlefield.
In addition, the Tactician’s Manual includes Foul Fox’s original “Ally Action” mechanic; which provides unique tactical options for players based on allies they have recruited while simplifying running allied NPC characters for GMs. Ally Actions were originally presented in the Synergist’s Codex, and are included here along with over 20 new archetypes.
