AI Generated short-notes.

The Overseer is a tactical commander who leads Constructed Allies (semi-autonomous constructs) in battle, using their expertise to coordinate and enhance their units. They specialize in battlefield control, unit upgrades, and strategic command maneuvers.

Core Mechanics

  • Constructed Ally (Level 1): You gain a semi-autonomous construct companion (based on the Steel Defender stat block). Your ally grows stronger as you level up.
  • Tactical Network (Level 1): Establish a mental link to command your Constructed Ally. The ally acts on your turn, using Command Points to perform actions.
  • Command Points (Level 1): You have a pool of points to issue tactical commands (like maneuvers) to your units. They regenerate on a long rest.
  • Command Maneuvers (Level 2): Choose from a list of maneuvers to enhance your units (e.g., Shockwave, Intercept, Coordinated Strike).

Class Progression

  • Level 3 - Overseer Archetype: Choose a specialization (e.g., Field Commander, Mechanist, Dominion Controller) that shapes your playstyle.
  • Level 5 - Efficient Directives: Issue commands as a bonus action.
  • Level 6 - Unit Upgrades: Select an upgrade for your allies (e.g., Flight Systems, Heavy Armor Plating, Pulse Cannon).
  • Level 10 - Archetype Feature: Gain additional features tied to your chosen archetype.
  • Level 11 - Overclock: Temporarily boost your Constructed Allys power.
  • Level 13 - Multi-Unit Maneuvers: Command multiple units at once and issue complex maneuvers.
  • Level 15 - Master Strategist: Enhance your tactical abilities, improving battlefield control and synergy between units.
  • Level 17 - Supreme Upgrades: Maximize the power of your upgrades.
  • Level 20 - Command Perfection: Issue unlimited commands for 1 minute once per long rest and gain perfect coordination with your allies (e.g., advantage on attacks after a critical hit).

Key Features

  • Constructed Ally: A reliable combat companion that grows with you.
  • Command Points & Tactical Commands: Spend Command Points to issue commands, with a growing number as you level up.
  • Archetype Specializations: Customize your Overseer to focus on battlefield control, technological enhancements, or magical constructs.
  • Unit Upgrades: Make your Constructed Allies stronger with upgrades like armor, flight, or ranged attacks.
  • Strategic Maneuvers: Use your Command Points to issue various battlefield maneuvers, like knockbacks or coordinated strikes.

In essence, the Overseer is a battlefield tactician who thrives on managing multiple constructs and directing them through a combination of tactical maneuvers, strategic upgrades, and command abilities. They grow in power by improving their control over units and fine-tuning their commands for maximum efficiency.
