'''----- Tactics -----''' '''The General of Heaven:'''

# '''The Call (Sacred Summons):''' Valerius uses a Standard Action (thanks to ''Sacred Summons'') to drop '''1d3+1 Bralani Azatas''' (using a 7th level slot converted to ''Summon Monster VII'').
#* ''Why:'' Because he is LG and they are CG (Chaotic Good), they share the "Good" subtype, making the summoning a Standard Action.
#* ''Effect:'' 4 Bralani Azatas appear. Each can cast ''Lightning Bolt'' (8d6) or ''Cure Serious Wounds'' (3d8+6) immediately.
# '''The Aura:''' Swift action to activate '''Aura of Heroism'''. All his summons and allies instantly gain +2 to hit and saves.
# '''Support:''' While his army fights, he casts ''Blessing of Fervor'' or ''Prayer'' to further buff them, or ''Holy Word'' to paralyze evil enemies.
# '''Control:''' If an enemy tries to fly past his wall of angels, he casts ''Blade Barrier'' to shred them.

=== Build Notes ===

* '''Standard Action Summons:''' This is the Holy Grail of summoning. Normally, casting ''Summon Monster'' takes 1 round (appearing at the start of your ''next'' turn). With '''Sacred Summons''', Valerius can drop a squad of monsters and have them attack ''immediately'' on his turn.
* '''Herald Caller Bonuses:''' The archetype gives '''Augment Summoning''' (+4 Str/Con to summons) and '''Superior Summoning''' (If you summon more than 1, get +1 extra) for free.
** ''Example:'' If he casts ''Summon Monster V'' to get "1d3 Hound Archons," he rolls 1d3. If he gets a 2, Superior Summoning makes it 3. Augment Summoning gives them all +4 Str/Con. Aura of Heroism gives them +2 Hit.
* '''Diplomacy:''' He isn't just a combatant. With ''Touch of Glory'', he can add +14 to a Diplomacy check, allowing him to talk down enemies or convince kings with ease.
