### **Class Table: The Overseer**
| Level | Proficiency Bonus | Features | Units Controlled | Command Points |
You establish a mental link with your **Constructed Ally**, enabling seamless coordination. Your ally acts on your turn, taking actions based on your commands. The ally defaults to a defensive stance if no command is issued.
- Range: 30 feet
- Commands cost **Command Points** (see below).
#### **Constructed Ally (1st Level)**
At 1st level, you gain a Constructed Ally, a semi-autonomous construct that serves as your companion in combat. Use the **Steel Defender** stat block from the Artificer class as a base but with the following modifications:
- Hit Points: Equal to 5 + five times your Overseer level.
- Your Constructed Ally levels up with you, gaining additional features and upgrades as you progress.
#### **Command Points (1st Level)**
You start with a pool of **Command Points**, which you use to issue tactical commands to your units. This pool replenishes after a long rest. The number of points available increases as shown in the class table.
Example Commands:
- **Attack Command (1 CP):** Your ally attacks as a bonus action.
- **Reinforce Defense (1 CP):** Grant your ally temporary hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier + Overseer level.
- **Flanking Maneuver (2 CP):** Your ally moves without provoking opportunity attacks.

#### **Command Maneuvers (2nd Level)**
You develop specialized tactics to enhance your unit’s effectiveness. Choose two **Command Maneuvers** from the list below. You gain additional maneuvers at later levels.
Example Maneuvers:
- **Shockwave (2 CP):** Your ally slams the ground, forcing creatures in a 10-foot radius to make a Strength saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier) or be knocked prone.
- **Intercept (1 CP):** Your ally moves to intercept an attack targeting a creature within 10 feet of it.
