Commander

Skilled tacticians, leaders, and warriors, Commanders are often the glue that holds a party together. Fighters of the Commander archetype are known for their coordination and understanding of the battlefield. They are charismatic, tactical, and organized.

Commanders use teamwork to enhance the combat action economy of their party, sometimes sacrificing their own actions to grant their allies openings in battle. Often, a pre-planned course of action requires careful coordination to pull off, and Commanders are there to make it happen.
