Might of Eden: Scholar General

Posted: July 22, 2009 | Author: Dennis N. Santana | Filed under: Classes, D&D 4e, Homebrew, RPG, Spirits Of Eden |1 Comment »

Warlords in Eden are the more formal warriors of their ranks. Even a beastly orcish Warlord can be said to be refined compared to the ranks he leads, more intelligent in certain forms than any of his brethren. A certain kind of genius is required to be a Warlord which no other warrior can boast to have. A Warlord is a leader – either his words and passion, or his knowledge and study, must have a greater depth to it than those of a normal Fighter. This is key, because a Warlord is not a Fighter – he can pretend to be, but when faced with a situation with no army to lead, the differences become clear. A Warlord brings out the best in others by being a different kind of best than them – lacking this element, there is little for one to achieve.

Tacticians require knowledge and study almost on the level of the clergy and the mages of Eden. Many are true products of the armies of Eden. Some Warlords learn from experience, being sent immediately to deal with soldiers and civilians and displaying there the leadership qualities that earn them their position. Others are taught strategies by mentors, going through years of rigorous training. For some, the way of the Warlord is a culture that is passed on to them as any other martial art is, and only to those who have displayed a special touch when dealing with other people.

A Scholar General is a true student of war in ways that others are not. A Scholar General hungers for the history behind every aspect of war, for the tactics ascribed to every weapon, for the veritable game of chess that goes on in every move. They try to recreate those sweeps of historic brilliance in their own lives. They try to prepare for any situation, iconically seen carrying both blade and bow into battle. These Warlords are somewhat rare in Eden, and those who go this path through military training are often kept in reserve, going through less dangerous and more social tasks until such a time as they are truly, desperately required. But many do not even begin in the army – for theirs is a genius that is almost spontaneous, and a lad or lass with a good eye, sharp wits and a quickness for learning could pick up weapons and become one in an almost unassuming way.

Glory does not matter – only the quickest, most efficient victory will make do.

MASTER TACTICIAN PATH FEATURES

Tactician’s Action (11th Level): You can spend an action point to allow all allies who can see and hear you to shift two squares, instead of taking an extra action.

Concentrated Assault (11th Level): When you attack an enemy marked by an ally, that ally gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls against that enemy until the end of your next turn.

Extended Advantage (16th level): As long as you are wielding a ranged weapon, you can flank with an ally from up to 3 squares away from an enemy, as long as you meet the other criteria for flanking that enemy.
