The Tactician

Great generals will tell you, it's all about positioning

and timing, a battle can be won or lost not by how

many bodies you have to sacrifice but how well you

use them. The tactician dedicates itself to the study

of battlefields and strategy, he is as comfortable onthe front lines as he is on the back whilst chore-

ographing the battle. Through their anatomical stud-

ies, tacticians are proficient field medics as well, they

make ample use of their healing kits both in battle

and out.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you

gain proficiency in the Medicine Skill, if you are al-

ready proficient you may choose a new proficiency

from the fighter's skill list.

Combat Superiority


gain a set of abilities that are fueled by special dice

called superiority dice.

Superiority Dice

. You have four superiority dice,

which are d8s. A superiority die is expended when

you use it. You regain all of your expended superiori-

ty dice when you finish a short or long rest.

You gain another superiority die at 7th level and

one more at 15th level.Using Superiority Dice: You can expend superi-

ority dice to use a number of different maneuvers:

Strike irst, Strike Twice. After rolling for

initiative but before anyone acts, you may

spend one superiority die and add its result

to any one creature you choose that can see

or hear you. It gains advantage on his next

attack roll this combat. Alternatively, it may

forgo these benefits and instead not be sur-

prised.

Timing is Everything.As a bonus action,

you may spend one superiority die and add

its result to the initiative of any one creature

that can see or hear you, this creature gains

advantage on his next attack roll this combat.

If the creature had not taken its turn yet in

the round but would have with his new score,

he acts immediately after you, then at its new

score thereafter.

Come Here!As a bonus action, you spend a

superiority die and grab a willing creature up

to one size larger than you within melee

range with a free hand or a whip (or similar

weapon) and pull it towards you to any space

adjacent to you. Creatures do not provoke at-

tacks of opportunity with forced movement.

Stay Back!As a reaction, you may spend one

of your superiority dice when you or an ally

within 5 feet is subjected to an attack, a dart

trap, fireball, or similar effect that you can

see. You and your ally add the result of the

die to your AC until the start of your next

turn and any Dexterity save you and your ally

have to make from the triggering effect.

You may pull or push this ally to any

space within 10 ft of you, avoiding damage if

he ends this movement outside of the trigger-ing effect's range. Moving the target of a

ranged attack behind you might provide some

cover (PHB pg. 196).

Stay Down!When you hit another creature

with a weapon attack you may spend one of

your superiority dice to attempt to knock the

target prone. If the target is Large or smaller

it must make a Strength saving throw DC 8 +

your proficiency bonus + your Strength or

Dexterity modifier (your choice). On a failed

save the target falls prone and you may

choose to deal damage to it equal to the re-

sult of the superiority die or (if using a melee

weapon) move him 5 feet to any adjacent un-

occupied space.

Combat Healer


gain the following ability that is similar to the Heal-

er feat in the PHB (pg. 167). If you already have this

feat, you may instead choose another feat and gain

this ability instead. Healer kits appear on the PHB

(pg. 151) and have 10 charges, you require a freehand to use it. You gain an improvised Healer's Kit

with 2 charges that only you may use when you gain

this ability.

When you use a healer's kit to stabilize a dy-

ing creature, that creature also regains 1 hit

point.

As an action or in place of your first attack on

your turn, you can spend one use of a

healer's kit and one superiority die to tend to

yourself or a creature adjacent to you and re-

store hitpoints equal to twice your proficiency

modifier + the result of the die. A creature

can regain hitpoints from this feature twice

until it finishes a short or long rest.

Healer's Plight

At 7th level you gain the following benefits:Always on the look for suitable healing materials,

you may craft improvised healer's kits after taking a

long rest that hold 2 charges. You may not have more

than one such kit at a time and only you know how

to use them effectively.

When you or allies within 20 feet of you regain

hitpoints as a result of spending hit dice during a

short rest, they gain additional hitpoints equal to

your proficiency modifier.

A tactician's medical training grants him the

knowledge needed to best treat a disease. When heor an ally within 5 feet makes a save to resist or

shake off the effects of a disease when not in combat,

he does this with advantage.

Improved Combat Superiority

At level 10, your superiority dice turn into d10s. At

18th level they turn into d12s.

Improved Combat Healing

At level 10, you may add twice your proficiency modi-

fier instead of once when using the Combat Healerability to restore hit points.

aster Tactician

Starting at 15th level, when you roll initiative and

have no superiority dice remaining, you regain one

superiority die.
