OK, so here is my question:
Tactician A grants Lookout to a party of four people, one of whom is invisible, hiding in plain sight, or otherwise obscured by not being seen.
They swing the door open and encounter the noisy monsters on the other side.
Say a 6th level party? So 6 rounds of "Shared" Lookout Ability.
The monsters, in reaction, see the person opening the door, and three other dungeon trawlers, but cannot see the HIPs/Invisible person. So that person gets a surprise round / action.
Since they are on Lookout, they all get one action in the surprise round is the way I am reading it. Is this correct? It seems to me what is intended (and relatively powerful if you think about it, as only one person needs to succeed on their hide / be invisible).
The only failing being that you all need to be adjacent to one another (but only one person needs to be adjacent to the invisible / HIPs person for this to work as long as they are in "line" or whatever).

The reason I am asking is for the Drill Sergeant Fighter Archetype... not necessarily for a Cavalier. Thanks and I appreciate your replies and opinions on this.
