The key to making the most of those military instincts comes down to really precise timing during combat encounters. When youre facing the goblin raid at the grove make sure everyone survives, its a perfect chance to show off those veteran skills. Watch for opportunities to chain your attacks especially when enemies group up since taking down 5 of them in a single turn (that sweet Pentacrush moment) really shows your tactical expertise.

Your military background opens up some interesting conversations too particularly with the flaming fist guards who'll recognize that combat experience right away. During bigger fights, keeping track of your positioning is crucial and youll find yourself naturally picking up on enemy formations especially around places like waukeen's rest. Veterans tend to spot those telltale signs of ambushes or troop movements which can give you an edge in dialogue choices too. Pretty satisfying when jaheira or lae'zel acknowledge your battlefield experience during camp chats and those military skills definitely come in handy when analyzing enemy tactics or negotiating with other seasoned fighters. Just keep an eye out for those moments where your combat training might give you special insight its not always obvious but those opportunities are definitely there

A neat thing to remember is getting 10 kills while keeping your team alive that'll definitely earn you some respect as a veteran commander
