Okay, you don't need that many levels to get some decent minor auras as they're dependent on your Charisma bonus, but the major auras seriously lack some punch if you multiclass as their bonuses are set. With that in mind I wouldn't do more than perhaps take 4 fighter levels to get 4 attacks and Weapon Specialization. Otherwise, your major auras will become too weak to be effective.When that is said, tactical soldier isn't the worst prestige class for a marshal if you're bent on getting your hands dirty in close combat. It has some nice abilities, a good BAB and a good hit die, but I see it more as a fighter prestige class than a marshal prestige class. Even a fighter can get 2 ranks of Sense Motive in a hurry <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />But I agree that the marshal is a pretty cool class. I see him very much as a variant bard in the way that he boosts the party, but he can easily go into melee combat due to a decent hit die and and good weapon and armor proficiencies. I'm currently playing a warforged marshal in a PBP game here on EN World. I think he's shaping up nicely.Just my two cents on the matter...</blockquote>
