Owner's Note
As stated, this is based on the Fire Emblem series, and uses abilities from that game, as well as a few I thought would make sense. I know this page is lacking flavor and needs a bit of balancing (probably). I ask that IF you make a change to it, that you state what that change was. Please do try to keep to the idea behind the theme I have for this though, don't completely change an ability just because it "doesn't make sense".
Thank You - Cryptic

Honed Mind
At first level, your mind can calmly analyze any situation, allowing you to gain a 1d4 on a Perception, Investigation, or Intuition check. You can only do this twice per long rest.
Spellcasting
- Spellbook
At 1st Level, you have a Spellbook containing six 1st-level Tactician Spells of your choice. Your Spellbook is the repository of the Tactician Spells you know, except your Cantrips, which are fixed in your mind.
- Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the tactician spell list. You learn additional cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Tactician table.
- Preparing and Casting Spells
The Tactician table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of tactician spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of spells from your spellbook equal to your Intelligence modifier + your tactician level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
- Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.
- Ritual Casting
You can cast a spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell in your spellbook. You don't need to have the spell prepared.
- Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus (found in chapter 5) as a spellcasting focus for your spells.
- Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher
Each time you gain a tactician level, you can add two tactician spells of your choice to your spellbook. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the Tactician table. On your adventures, you might find other spells that you can add to your spellbook
