Unpredictable Strategem

A Tactics Capstone of Faith Augustin this capstone does the following:

Unpredictable Strategem Faith’s keen understanding of psychology and the human mind makes her a brilliant strategist by exploiting the innate and sometimes unconscious actions of her opponents. After intense study of her opponent’s mentality and position, she is capable of performing an entirely unpredictable tactical move. This can either cause the opponent to completely rethink their strategies and potentially make false moves anticipating further actions that Faith has absolutely no intention of doing, forcing them to strain resources and manpower, or it can cause a complete defensive relapse that prevents them from pushing further attacks for a short period of time, while the opponent re-evaluates their strategies and consolidates in the face of such a masterful stroke. Executed properly, these unpredictable moves can suddenly turn the tides of battle, forcing a temporary retreat, or exposing a vulnerability that even Faith may not have known about until that exact moment, depending on the nature of the move. These moves always run entirely counter to either what Faith was hoping to do herself, or what her opponent would have expected her to do. They can be actions she takes herself or they can be orders carried out by her armies. Appropriate skills such as leadership, or tactics of her opponent can counter-play this, depending on the situation.
