Cavalier, tactician fighter archtype and tactician ability.


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Greetings Paizo board!

Currently i am working on a campaigne where the players will be sailing alot and exploring this homebrew world made by me and a friend.

As i was going to design the captain of the ship, i thought either a fighter with tactician archtype or a cavalier, maybe a different archtype. The idea is to have a npc giving a helping hand indirectly to the players, thus i thought the tactician ability would suit find.

Here comes my problem: according to the fighter archtype tactician, he gets the ability at level 5 and he can only share that one specific teamwork feat. But when i look at the bonus feat option, it says that he can also choice to take skill focus or a teamwork feat, in addition to the combat feats.

What is the point of having the option to learn more teamwork feats, if only the teamwork feat i can share is the one i get at level 5?

I dont mind that, this archtype might not be able to share the same amount of teamwork feats but atleast he should be able to allow to grant other kinds of teamwork feats.

I could house rule it but i would prefere not to.


RAW: You are out of luck.

RAI: The person who did the archetype thought you could share any teamwork feat with tactician, not just the one the class feature granted.

If you don't mind going 3pp, I recommend the Inspiring Commander cavalier archetype. It's pretty balanced and fun.
