In play
Brilliant Strategist: martial rises by 8, monthly martial lifestyle experience rises by 40%, and domain limit rises by 2. This is the fourth martial education, one step under the top of the line. It can carry that side of the realm. A matching culture or faith can add further bonuses. Those bonuses are not part of the base list.
How to get Brilliant Strategist
- Gain: Brilliant Strategist is rank 4 of the Martial education. A child needs a final score of 18 or more to get it at 16, which takes a strong Martial guardian plus extra points from a court tutor, a university, the Kin legacy or a learned council spouse. Adults can also reach it from rank 3 through a University Visit.
- Remove or lose: Permanent. It is the starting point for Exalted Warlord: a University Visit can push it to rank 5.
Aim for every bonus at once: a guardian with very high Martial and a good Learning skill, a genius or intelligent child, a Rowdy or Bossy childhood trait, and a court tutor or university education for the extra points at 16.
