Warwise

Focusing on the Big Picture

The Warwise concern themselves not with the foe in front of them, but the whole battlefield.

Battle Overseer

You can keep the whole battlefield in your mind as a mental image:

You can’t be ambushed by non-magical means. You can take the speak common action to alert your allies, ending their ambushed status.
As long as you clearly hear or see a creature once, you can track their location within a 25 meter radius for up to 1 hour from the last time you hear or see it. You are considered to have line of sight to the creatures you are tracking via this ability.

Backup Plan

You can use this ability as part of a damaging weapon attack by spending 1 energy. If you fail all of the precision rolls of this attack, you can instead use a non-damaging ability in its place. For example, if this damaging weapon attack is an action, you can perform a non-damaging action.
