A captain is responsible for their people on the ground, relaying commands from the higher-up to the soldiers and seeing them through the mission. Generals may lead the army, but it often falls to the captains to command the battle from the front lines, protecting the people in their care and keeping them focused on the task at hand.   Protection You gain the Guardian sphere as a bonus sphere and must select the patrol package if you do not already have it. Increase the number of attacks you can make without expending your reaction by 1.   Defensive Direction Beginning at 6th level, when an ally within 60 feet of you who can see and hear you is targeted by an attack roll, ability check, or damage roll, you can use your reaction to expend one of your uses of command, rolling a command die and subtracting the number rolled from the creature’s roll. You can choose to use this feature after the creature makes its roll, but before the DM determines whether the attack roll or ability check succeeds or fails, or before the creature deals its damage.   Support the Troops Beginning at 10th level, whenever you use Group Commands, you also gain a use of your own Command die. You must use this die before the end of your next turn or it is lost.   Front-Line Direction Beginning at 14th level, so long as you have a patrol set up you may affect an additional ally when using direct ally. All affected allies must be within the area of your patrol.

Drill sergeants train recruits, turning them from green beginners into hardened soldiers. While a drill sergeant needn’t be cruel, they are symbols of authority and know how to intimidate those who step out of line, or those who would threaten their pupils.   Intimidating You gain the Gladiator sphere. If you have used your reaction to perform a boast, you may give a target a command die once before your next turn even though you have already used a reaction that turn.   Troop Training Beginning at 6th level, whenever you take a long rest, you may grant one martial talent you possess to one of your allies so that they also gain the benefits of that talent. That ally gains this talent until you take your next long rest, at which time you can choose a new ally and a new talent. Allies must meet the prerequisites of any talent they gain, such as the martial sphere. You cannot grant talents involving the Beastmastery or Leadership spheres.   At 10th and 14th level, you may choose an additional ally to grant a talent to. You must grant each ally the same talent.   Savage Rally Beginning at 10th level, whenever you use your group commands or group focus abilities, you may demoralize a target as a bonus action.   Pull Rank At 14th level, you gain advantage on all Charisma saving throws and Charisma ability checks made to persuade or intimidate.

You specialize in leading armies, not just groups or individuals.     Warleader You gain the Warleader sphere as a bonus sphere. The area of your tactics becomes 40 feet instead of 20 feet, and whenever you spend a bonus action to activate a tactic, the tactic remains active for 2 rounds instead of one, meaning you only need to spend a bonus action every other round to keep the tactic active.   At 10th level, your tactics increase to 80 feet and remain active for 3 rounds instead of 2. At 14th level, your tactics affect every ally that can see or hear you regardless of distance, and they remain active for 4 rounds instead of 3.   Battlefield Specialist At 6th level, you gain +1 use of Command. While traveling for an hour or more, your group can’t be slowed by difficult terrain or lost by nonmagical means, and remains alert to danger even while engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking). Additionally, you and allies that can see and hear you gain a +1 bonus to initiative rolls and a +3 bonus to their passive Wisdom (Perception).   At 14th level, Battlefield Specialist improves to grant you +2 uses of Command, the bonus to initiative increases to +3, and the bonus to passive Wisdom (Perception) increases to +5.   Enhanced Tactics Beginning at 10th level, whenever you activate a tactic, you can choose a second tactic. Your allies benefit from both tactics.

Whether they are born aristocrats or elected officials, politicians are social leaders, that connections to get things done.   Entourage You are always accompanied by others who look up to you for your guidance and support. You gain the Leadership sphere as a bonus sphere.   Aristocrat Your favor and connections are as valuable to many as your money is. You gain 1 gp per 2 character levels per day (rounded down), which is applied to covering your lifestyle expenses (or with GM permission can go into your pocket if you are not using lifestyle rules).   Call In A Specialist At 6th level, your prestige and connections have established a reputation among many contacts, including individuals with unique skill sets capable of turning the tide of a critical battle or provide crucial information. You may spread the word in any small town or larger settlement that you are looking for a specialist to aid in a particular task and one will appear sometime in the next 24 hours. If a specialist does not complete their task in one week’s time, the specialist leaves unless you use this feature again to extend their service. Because calling in a specialist requires invoking contacts and leaning on favors, you cannot use this feature more often than once per week. This increases by one time per week at 10th (2/week) and 14th level (3/week).   Specialists generally will not become directly involved in combat. A specialist will certainly defend themselves if attacked, but will do what they can to stay out of any fights and won’t follow you directly into dangerous territory; they are there as a favor to you, not to be an adventurer. If a specialist is killed, your reputation as a commander becomes tarnished and you reduce the number of times you can call in a specialist per week by 1 for one month.   Each time you use this ability, choose a particular type of specialist from the following list:   General Specialists You gain the service of a group of followers who possess one (followers) talent of your choice but do not benefit from your own (followers) talents.   Information Specialist You gain the services of a spy. This information specialist can perform one of the two following services or another, similar service of your choice that is suitable to their skills.   1st, they can provide you with a detailed map of the local town or city, including hidden passages, sewer passageways (if any), guild hall locations (both legitimate businesses and illicit organizations such as thieves guilds), and other relevant points of interest.   2nd, they can spend 5 days studying a single city block, or one major figure in their town or city; if they study a city block, they provide basic information about all traffic that moves in or out of the area, including what races and in what numbers, any traps or particularly dangerous individuals who frequent the area, and any other major points of interest. If they study a particular individual or citizen, they gain detailed information about the figure including their friends and contacts, any significant abilities possessed by the individual (such as martial prowess or spellcasting), any weapons or possessions of particular note or value, and any addictions, habits, or other social weaknesses the individual possesses.   Spy Small or Medium humanoid (any race), any alignment Armor Class 12 Hit Points 27 (6d8) Speed 30 ft.

This scouting specialist will travel with your party and grant them the benefits of their favored terrain as well as forage for you, but as always, will avoid combat.   Alternatively, you may use a guide as if they were an information specialist to give you information about an area of wilderness instead of a settlement. They can either provide you with a detailed map of up to 1 square mile of nearby wilderness territory (including pathways, dungeons, and the lairs of dangerous denizens) or can study a small patch of wilderness as if it were a city block or study an individual wild being.   Guide Small or Medium humanoid (any race), any alignment Armor Class 13 (leather armor) Hit Points 16 (3d8+3) Speed 30 ft.

Your group can’t become lost except by magical means. Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), the guide remains alert to danger.

The caster will not follow you into combat to cast the spell, and if the spell has costly material components, you must supply them.   The spell cast can be of 2nd level or lower, but increases by an additional 2 levels at 6th level (4th), then by an additional 1 level at 10th (5th) and 14th level (6th). The caster is always assumed to have a 16 as their spellcasting ability score.   Transport Specialist Instead of gaining the service of a particular specialist, you instead gain the service of up to 12 riding horses, a caravan of up to 4 wagons each pulled by 2 draft horses with a driver, or a keelboat and crew, (or another vehicle, if appropriate to the setting).
