### **Core Mechanics**
|
||
|
||
#### **Tactical Network (1st Level)**
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
#### **Overseer Archetype (3rd Level)**
|
||
|
||
Choose a specialization for your Overseer. Examples:
|
||
|
||
1. **Field Commander:** Focuses on battlefield control and advanced maneuvers.
|
||
2. **Mechanist:** Enhances allies with superior upgrades and experimental tech.
|
||
3. **Dominion Controller:** Combines magic with constructs, granting spellcasting abilities.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
#### **Efficient Directives (5th Level)**
|
||
|
||
You can issue commands more fluidly. You can use a bonus action instead of an action to issue a command.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
#### **Unit Upgrades (6th Level)**
|
||
|
||
Your allies gain a significant upgrade. Choose one upgrade per ally from the list below:
|
||
|
||
- **Flight Systems:** Your ally gains a flying speed of 30 feet.
|
||
- **Heavy Armor Plating:** Increase your ally’s AC by 2.
|
||
- **Enhanced Offense:** Your ally’s weapon attacks deal an additional 1d8 damage.
|
||

|
||
|
||
### **Archetype Details**
|
||
|
||
Each archetype provides unique abilities for the Overseer and their units. For example:
|
||
|
||
#### **Field Commander**
|
||
|
||
- **Tactical Mastery (3rd Level):** Gain additional Command Points and increase your command range to 60 feet.
|
||
- **Phalanx Formation (10th Level):** When two or more allies are within 10 feet of each other, they gain +1 AC.
|
||
|
||
#### **Mechanist**
|
||
|
||
- **Experimental Protocols (3rd Level):** Add a special module to your ally, such as a grappling hook or flamethrower.
|
||
- **Advanced Upgrades (10th Level):** Allies can equip two upgrades instead of one.
|
||
|
||
#### **Dominion Controller**
|
||
|
||
- **Arcane Infusion (3rd Level):** Gain limited spellcasting. Your allies can cast cantrips from your spell list.
|
||
- **Empowered Constructs (10th Level):** Allies add your Intelligence modifier to their attack and damage rolls.
