I don’t need to be the best fighter in this party. I need the other three to be.
Despite the name, the Skirmisher is not the nimble duelist — they’re the battlefield caller. (Flavor-text framing should lean into the caller identity to head off the expectation mismatch — flagged in Loose Threads.)
Signature — Called Shot
Mark a target: every ally gains a Boon against it. Four improved attacks beat one attack — the purest force-multiplier in the game.
Play Feel
You are playing the party, not your character sheet. Reading which enemy the group should focus, and stamping it, is worth more than any single swing you’ll ever make.
