About Captain Kortos

Coral ‘Waterhorse’ Kortos has always felt the call to the sea, something that most of her centaur village could not understand. Although she loved to run, she loved to swim even more. Her grandmother nicknamed her ‘waterhorse’ and suggested that she travel where her heart took her. If her heart is not in the mountains, she should find the place where she belongs.

At an early age, she did a stint with the Absalom navy, where she got officer training. The navy gave her a good start, even though she felt a bit odd amongst all the smaller humanoids. Still, the navy had rules, camaraderie, and gave her a wide-ranging education.

When her term was up, she joined the Pathfinder Society, where she has had a little more leeway to use the tactics she’s learned, and where she has the opportunity to travel the world and meet all sorts of new people. And of course, visit coastal areas and oceans all over the world.

COMMANDER SPECIALS:
____________________

Commander's Banner
A commander needs a battle standard to help guide their allies on the field. You start play with a custom banner that you can use to signal allies when using tactics (see below) or to deploy specific abilities. Your banner can be affixed to a weapon or shield you are wielding, attached to a simple pole or handle and held in one hand, or worn affixed to a pole alongside your backpack. Your banner might be a literal flag or pennant, a decorated fan, a personalized totem, or some other highly visible item of negligible or light Bulk. Your banner requires customization and influences your allies’ morale, so you can have only one banner at a time designated as your commander’s banner; designating a new banner or standard as your commander’s banner takes 1 minute.

As long as your banner is visible and in your possession, it provides an aura that gives you and all allies in a 30-foot emanation a +1 status bonus to Will saves and DCs against fear effects. You can pause or resume this effect as part of any action you would typically use to stow or retrieve your banner. If your banner is destroyed or stolen, allies currently benefiting from its bonuses become frightened 1. This effect has the aura, emotion, mental, and visual traits.

Some abilities allow you to place your banner in a specialized manner, such as the Commander’s Companion and Plant Banner feats. As long as you have placed your banner in this way, any banner abilities originate from your banner’s space instead of your own, and you gain the same basic benefits as when it is in your possession. An unattended banner has the base Hardness and Hit Points of a standard item of its type (usually cloth, thin leather, or thin wood; the rules for materials appears here) or the Hardness and Hit Points of the object it is affixed to, whichever is greater.

Drilled Reactions
Your time spent training your allies allows them to respond quickly and instinctively to your commands. Once per round when you use a tactic, you can grant one ally of your choice benefiting from that tactic an extra reaction. This reaction has to be used for that tactic and is lost if not used.

____________________

TACTICS:
____________________

Prepared:

Gather to Me! ◈ [one-action]
Mobility
Commander Tactic
Source Battlecry! pg. 25
You signal your team to move into position together. Signal all squadmates; each can immediately Stride as a reaction, though each must end their movement inside your banner’s aura, or as close to your banner’s aura as their movement Speed allows.

Squadmates can use Gather to Me! while Burrowing, Climbing, Flying, or Swimming instead of Striding if they have the corresponding movement type.

Pincer Attack ◈ [one-action]
Offensive
Commander Tactic
Source Battlecry! pg. 26
You call for an aggressive formation designed for exploiting enemies’ vulnerabilities. Signal all squadmates; each can Step as a reaction. If any of your allies ends this movement adjacent to an opponent, that opponent is off-guard to melee attacks from you and all other squadmates who responded to Pincer Attack until the start of your next turn.

Strike Hard! ◈◈ [two-actions]
Offensive
Brandish Commander Tactic
Source Battlecry! pg. 26
You command an ally to attack. Signal a squadmate within the aura of your commander’s banner. That ally immediately attempts a Strike as a reaction.

In Portfolio

Mountaineering Training ◈[one-action]
Mobility
Commander Tactic
Source Battlecry! pg. 25
Your instructions make it easier for you and your allies to scale dangerous surfaces. Signal all squadmates; until the end of your next turn, you and each ally gain a climb Speed of 20 feet.

Special If you have this tactic prepared, you can use Warfare Lore in place of Athletics for checks you make to Climb.

Naval Training ◈ [one-action]
Mobility
Commander Tactic
Source Battlecry! pg. 25
Your instructions make it easier for you and your allies to swim through dangerous waters. Signal all squadmates; until the end of your next turn, you and each ally gain a swim Speed of 20 feet.

Special If you have this tactic prepared, you can use Warfare Lore in place of Athletics for checks you make to Swim.
