Starting Benefits
Strategize (Action)
You learn a Special Action: Strategize. To use this Action you must expend 1 Drive.
When you use this Action, choose one Character who you can See or Hear you. As a Reaction, they can immediately use the Attack, Defend, Move or Interact Action.
As part of this Action you can discuss (i.e. Strategize) with the controlling Player what Action their Character should take, however the Action taken is the controlling Player’s choice. If the Player does not wish to use one of the available Actions, you can change the Target of this Action for another Character who would benefit from this Action.
Keen Observation (Combo)
As a Combo, you can use an Action to make an Observation, and one other Action of your choice.
You can use these Actions in any order.
Actions which could qualify as Making an Observation would typically include the Strategize Action, a Focus Skill Action, or the Prediction Action (see Prediction).
Progression Benefits
Prediction (Action)
You learn a Special Action: Prediction. To use this Action you must expend 1 Drive.
When you use this Action, make a Luck Check and make a note of the Result: this is your “Prediction”). Before the end of your next Short or Long Rest, you can replace the value of a d20 rolled by any Player (including yourself or the GM) with this Prediction.
You can choose to do this before or after the value of a d20 is revealed, but must do so before the Outcomes of that d20 have been resolved.
You can only hold one Prediction at a time. If you use the Prediction Action again, you can choose to either keep your previous Prediction or replace it with the result of your New Prediction.
Focused Defense
You can add your Focus Bonus to your Evasion DC.
Tactics
Tactics are benefits which the Tactician can choose which improve the Strategize or, if you have access to it, the Prediction Action.
Whenever you gain the Tactics +1 Benefit, choose a Tactic from the below list of options.
When you complete a Long Rest, you can change any number of the Tactics chosen for other available options.
To choose a Tactic which improves the Prediction Action, you must be able to use the Prediction Action.
Optimist (Technique) (Requires Prediction)
When you use the Prediction Action, roll two d20s instead of one and use the highest value rolled.
Pessimist (Technique) (Requires Prediction)
When you use the Prediction Action, roll two d20s and use the lowest value rolled.
Multiple Outlooks (Requires Prediction)
You can hold up to three different Predictions at a time instead of just one.
You can choose to use any of these Predictions when replacing the value of a d20, however you cannot replace more than one such d20 on any given Check.
If you have made three Predictions and make a New Prediction, you can either keep all three of your previous Predictions or you can choose to replace any one of your previous Predictions.
