This skill allows you to plan for success, both on the battlefield and in large-scale military campaigns. It's intended as a class skill for any full-BAB class (fighters, paladins, etc.) as well as bards.
Warcraft (Int; Trained Only)
Check
With a successful Warcraft check you can direct your allies more effectively in combat, or even plan large-scale military assaults.
Tactics
When an encounter begins you may make a DC 15 Warcraft check as a free action. On a successful check, you and all allies that can hear, see, or otherwise perceive your commands or gestures each gain a +1 insight bonus on attack rolls, Armour Class, initiative checks, and saving throws. The value of this bonus increases by +1 for every 5 points by which you beat the Warcraft check.
Strategy
This skill may be used to influence the course of larger battles, and even wars. Consult your DM for this application.
Action
Varies. Using Warcraft to improve your tactics is a free action. Using Warcraft to plan strategy often requires hours, days, or even longer.
Try Again
No. Your tactics and strategies are either useful or not.
Special
If you have the Leadership feat, you gain a +2 bonus on Warcraft checks.
If you are a fighter or paladin, you gain a +2 bonus on Warcraft checks.
Synergy
If you have 5 or more ranks in a Knowledge skill, the insight bonus increases by +2 in combat against creatures that can be identified by that skill (e.g. Knowledge (religion) for undead).
If you have 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (history), you gain a +2 bonus on Warcraft checks.
If you have 5 or more ranks in Bluff, Diplomacy, or Intimidate, you gain a +2 bonus on Warcraft checks as you cajole, inspire, or marshal your allies.
If you have 5 or more ranks in Sense Motive, you gain a +2 bonus on Warcraft checks against non-mindless enemies.
At the DM's option, certain other skills might be useful when planning strategy (e.g. Knowledge (architecture and engineering) might provide a bonus in campaigns involving siege engines, etc.). Alternatively, the skills might apply in different ways (e.g. Knowledge (nature) might provide a bonus on all combat in aboveground natural environments).
