Remote Command

Rote · Mage

Mage

A similar tactic uses Mind 3 to see the battlefield through someone else’s eyes. In this case, though, the mage needs to either establish a mental link with a willing party, or else override the viewer’s own Willpower. (See Sharing Perceptions in the Enhanced Perceptions section, p. 54.) For obvious reasons, the Correspondence-based battlefield sense is far easier to employ.

Combining Mind 3 and Correspondence 1 allows the mage to see the area, receive input, and issue orders from a squad of allies. This demands one extra success per allied character within the “remote command network.” Assuming that all of those allies are willing participants, and that the link is either invisible and/ or conducted through tactical display and communications technology (like the feeds used by technologically advanced armies), this feat remains coincidental. That said, it’s often challenging to see clearly through many different feeds (again, see Sharing Perceptions), and the commander still perceives only what his troops perceive.
