The following are new strategies for tacticians.
Cover of Darkness
The tactician obscures members of his collective with a field of psionic energy. One creature can make a stealth check to hide as a free action, even if they otherwise could not. At 8th level and every 4 levels thereafter, the tactician can select an additional creature to be affected.
Fortification
All creatures in the tactician’s collective gain temporary hit points equal to the tactician’s charisma modifier. At 8th level and every 4 levels thereafter, these temporary hit points increases by 5.
Covered Withdrawal
A creature within the tactician’s collective can take a withdraw action as a free action. If they do, another creature within the collective may attack a target the first withdrew from as an attack of opportunity, gaining a +1 bonus to the attack roll. This bonus increases by 1 at 8th level and every 4 levels thereafter.
