The prestige class should make use of those rules.Don't worry, making your own PrC isn't that hard, and with all the material you have so far it will be a snap!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> If you use some kind of a reputation system, consider this for your written intimidation spell-like ability: If the general receiving the message doesn't take the move you suggest, their reputation suffers X number of points. If not using reputation, this could be a minor curse that incurs -2 on all CHA-based checks within a certain group (e.g. military hierarchy).Personally, I would go for a 10-level class if your group can get together to play a lot. Otherwise, a 5-level class would be appropriate for shorter, less frequent games. This depends alot on how generously you award XP.I'm really into "power list now choose" style classes. If you have the time and inclination, providing a special ability every other level (or even every 3 levels) which a player can choose from a list...WEll, your player would love you for it. Perhaps a list of abilities using weather to one's advantage in battle. For example, winds that increase the range of your archer's arrows.Also, what if your sorcerer's prestige class allowed them to give advice to a general before battle? The sorcerer would sacrifice a number of hit points, attack bonus, damage bonus, or defense bonus, which the general would then gain (untilt the battle's end). This represents a caster who would be behind the front line of combat, while the general wades into battle. My last idea is an improved Tactitian feat, exclusive to the prestige class...Voice of the Tactitian [trained only]Your voice carries when giving commands to your men.Prerequisite: Int 13+, TactitianBenefit: Your Aid Another ability can extend to cover ALL allies within 60 feet burst who follow your commands. The entire military unit must gain the same benefit (e.g. everyone gets +2 ranged attack). Cheers!</blockquote>
