Here’s the Tactics (Wit) tree, built around battlefield coordination, control, and leadership synergy:

Tier 1 (Tactics 1+)

1. Ambush Planner – Mark a die as Effectful when rolling for Initiative; on success, all allies gain +1 die to their first action.

2. Flank Order – When an ally attacks a foe you also threaten, they may reroll 1 die if you have line of sight.

3. Quick Rally – Once per scene, spend 1 APR to remove a Slight or Fatigue from one ally within Presence meters.

Tier 2 (Tactics 2+)

1. Battlefield Mastery – On a successful Tactics roll (Wit + Tactics), a number of allies equal to successes gain +1 die on their next attack or defense.

2. Strategic Withdrawal – Mark a die as Persistent; on success, all allies within range may disengage without provoking attacks.

3. Coordinated Strike (Tactics/Melee) – When you attack a target after an ally attacked them, mark a die as Powerful; add its value to Injury if successful.

Tier 3 (Tactics 3+)

1. Exploit Weakness – On a successful Tactics roll, choose a target; all allies gain +1 die to actions against that target for the round.

2. Counter Formation (Tactics/Shields) – When enemies attempt to surround you, mark one die as Lucky; on success, all allies in your formation gain +2 dice on defense until your next turn.

3. Commanding Presence (Tactics/Command) – Once per round, you may allow one ally to reroll their entire dice pool on a failed action.

Tier 4 (Tactics 4+)

1. Turn the Tide – When an ally is Subdued or Wounded, spend 1 APR to immediately grant all allies +1 APR and +1 die to their next action.

2. Master of the Field – Once per scene, mark a die as Persistent; on success, reposition all allies and enemies within Presence meters by 2m as you dictate.

3. War Leader (Tactics/Command) – Allies within Presence meters gain +1 die to all rolls while you are standing; if you are Subdued, they immediately gain 1 Fatigue.
