Combat Training

A commander may combine combat spheres and talents to create powerful martial techniques. When they gain their first level they choose either Intelligence or Charisma as their practitioner modifier.

Talents

A commander gains the [[Warleader Sphere}}, and a either the Beastmastery Sphere (ride) package, the Shield Sphere, or a talent in the Warleader sphere.

Default: You pick the Rousing Claxon Warleader talent.

Lingering Commands

The commander is an expert at commanding troops, even under the most difficult of conditions. Whenever the benefits of a shout or tactic the commander initiated would end, their benefits persist for a number of rounds equal to the higher of his Intelligence or Charisma modifiers.

Instantaneous effects are not affected by this ability, nor are tactics that end because the commander used a swift action to activate a different tactic.

Feats

The commander gains no extra feats on first level.

Default: Pick Shield Focus as your level 1 feat.
