Level 1: Theme Knowledge
You are knowledgeable about the military, from mercenary groups to standard military procedures to armed forces, and you can draw upon this fount of information to aid your adventurous pursuits. Reduce the DC of skill checks to recall knowledge about hierarchies, practices, personnel, and so on in the military by 5.
Level 6: Subordinates
You gain a number of followers equal to your rank number minus 1. If you are a Warrant Officer, the resulting number is doubled. If you are an Officer, the resulting number is tripled. These followers are the same branch as you and have the corresponding training for that branch. When you receive this ability you gain a bonus talent chosen from Commanding Officer (Squad Leader heroic talent tree), Inspire Loyalty (Loyal Protector heroic talent tree), or Reconnaissance Team Leader (Reconnaissance heroic talent tree). All of your followers are created as if they were obtained via this talent. You can only have three of the followers you get from this ability with you at once, the others are off managing your affairs and keeping the team’s gear in peak condition. If your character is not currently engaging in active service these followers function the same, but are not assigned to you – they instead represent comrades-in-arms, fellow veterans, and so on.
Level 12: Competent Subordinates
Your subordinates are now considered nonheroic characters of a level equal to yours. They still receive all the bonus feats and trained skills that they would get for being followers, and still are considered followers for any talents you have.
