Bot Me:
Exploration: Ongoing Investigation allows Xathel to use the Investigate explore activity and one other exploration activity at the same time. This will usually be Scout. (The bonus from Scout won't stack with his Incredible Initiative, but it will benefit his companions.)
Combat: In a typical combat round, Xathel will first use an action to Devise a Stratagem. (If he’s aware that the creature is the subject of a lead he’s pursuing, he may DAS as a free action.) His Known Weaknesses feat allows him to attempt a Recall Knowledge check as part of the action to DAS. On a critical success with the skill check, he gains a +1 circumstance bonus to attack with DAS, and he can convey that information to allies as part of the check, granting each ally a +1 to their next attack against the subject made before the beginning of Xathel’s next turn. He will rarely attack more than once a turn, preferring to use his actions to move to get a clear shot and set up a strategic strike. (If he rolls poorly on the DAS d20, he'll save his ammo, unless there are other targets available to make normal attacks against.)
