Citywatch Officer on the server

[Ailander]

WARNING
This prc is currently on testing. This is a faction only class. The only prerequisite (for now) is being part of the Citywatch and having the highest possible standing with them


Sometimes it is not enough to be a conquering warrior, a champion of all that's right, an experienced sellsword or an elite soldier. Sometimes, the circumstances require a solid commander of soldiers and situations. Sometimes the circumstances demand for an officer.

These individuals inspire trust in those they lead, they earned that trust by slogging through the lower wards, dangerous dock streets and haunted ways in the City of the Dead. Thanks to their experience, they can see where to best deploy their resources or come up with a sneaky ruse to fool their enemies. The City Watch officers have a tactician's mind, a cartographer's overview of the disputed landscape (or dungeon warren) and a way with words that can inspire battle-hardened fighters to give it their all when melee breaks out.

Wheter leading troops or a company of adventurers, an officer possess a general knowledge of weapons and armor. Their real strength is their ability to lead those who follow them to success they might not otherwise reach on their own. They make for passable warriors themselves when personal danger finds them.

They can be any non chaotic alignment. An officer of the city watch must always keep the City rules at heart and for such reason they cannot raise to the ranks of an officer with a chaotic mind set

The officer relies on the other classes in all ways - it is their job to support a team, magnifying the strengths of each member for success in battles or forays into dangerous cavern complexes.

Powers:

Inspire Greatness
At 1st level,once per day, an officer can direct and motivate his allies to act faster, better and with more strength. They can grant an effect of Haste(just like the spell) that lasts 3 rounds. This is an extraordinary ability.

An officer can use this ability one more time per day every 2 level (twice per day at 3rd level, thrice at 5th etc)) to a maximum of 5 times per rest at 10th level

Motivating Aura
The officer exerts an effect on allies in his vicinity. He can learn to produce different effects, or auras, over the course of his career. An officer begins with one aura at 2nd level that grants a +1 bonus, then gains one more effect and an additional +1 bonus every two levels. So, he will have 2 effects and a +2 bonus at 4th level, 3 effects and a +3 bonus at 6th level, and so on.

The officer may project one aura effect at a time and can change the effect with a move action. The aura may remain permanently active at the officer's will.

Unless otherwise noted, an officer's aura affects all allies within 60 feet (including himself) who can hear the officer. An ally must have an Intelligence score of 3 or higher and be able to understand the officer's language to gain the bonus.
