Swift Strategist

Class

Not all marshals command fully-armored, heavily armed troops, yet they produce as much result as any disciplined army. Swift strategists know when to strike hard, fast, and be gone before the enemy realizes what hit them. Their presence may be rare on the battlefield, but that is simply because the entire war is the perfect warzone.
