The problem is, I'm trading 2:1 for actions. I have to take an action meaning I can't attack, to trigger a Contingency. So, I lose my attack this round to create a Contingency (which may not actually occur) and lose my attack next round to pay for that Contingency.
Am I understanding that right? The only way that works is if the Contingency is more than twice as powerful as my regular attack. After all, there is a chance that the Contingency fails, meaning I've lost two attacks for no results. If I can only get twice the value, then there's no point. It's a sucker's bet.
There's a very good reason you get a +d8 bonus to damage with Commander's Strike.
Actually, looking at it, there are no moves/contingencies that actually straight up grant any attacks. They all key off of other triggers. Meaning that if the trigger doesn't occur, you flat up lose out on the reaction.
I take back my earlier approval. This class fails very badly. Cool idea but math fail.
