Knowledge (Arcana)Monster Tactician is an Inquisitor archetype in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.

Monster Tactician Abilities
Inquisitor Proficiencies
An inquisitor is proficient with all simple weapons, plus the longbow, shortbow, and the favored weapon of her deity. She is also proficient with light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields).
Summon Tactics
At 5th level, every time a monster tactician casts a summoning spell, all creatures summoned by the spell are treated as if they knew all of the monster tactician's teamwork feats.
Inquisitor replaces following features: Judgment, Second Judgment, Third Judgment, True Judgement.
Exploit Weakness
At 14th level, the inquisitor learns to take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself. Whenever the inquisitor scores a critical hit, she ignores any damage reduction the target might have. In addition, if the target has regeneration, the creature loses regeneration or the round following the critical hit and can die normally during that round. Creatures whose regeneration always functions are immune to this ability.
Domain Selection
A divine caster's deity influences their alignment, what magic they can perform, their values, and how others see them. The character chooses domains (in quantity depending on their class) from among those belonging to their deity. A character can select an alignment domain (Chaos, Evil, Good, or Law) only if their own alignment matches that domain. Each domain grants a number of domain powers, dependent upon the level of the divine caster.
Clerics also gain a number of bonus spells. A cleric gains one domain spell slot for each level of cleric spell they can cast, from 1st on up. -tr Each day, a cleric can prepare one of the spells from their two domains in that slot. If a domain spell is not on the cleric spell list, a cleric can prepare it only in a domain spell slot. Domain spells cannot be used to cast spells spontaneously.
Teamwork Feat
At 3rd level, and every three levels thereafter, the inquisitor gains a bonus feat in addition to those gained from normal advancement. These bonus fez must be selected from those listed as teamwork feats. The inquisitor must meet the prerequisites of the selected bonus feat.
Orisons
Inquisitors can cast a number of orisons, or 0-level spells. These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again.
Stern Gaze
Inquisitors are skilled at sensing deception and intimidating their foes. An inquisitor receives a morale bonus on all Persuasion skill checks made for intimidation and Perception checks equal to 1/2 her inquisitor level (minimum +1).
Cunning Initiative
At 2nd level, an inquisitor adds her Wisdom modifier on initiative checks, in addition to her Dexterity modifier.
Solo Tactics
At 3rd level, all of the inquisitor's allies are treated as if they possessed the same teamwork feats as the inquisitor for the purpose of determining whether the inquisitor receives a bonus from her teamwork feats. Her allies do not receive any bonuses from these feats unless they actually possess the feats themselves. The allies' positioning and actions must still meet the prerequisites listed in the teamwork feat for the inquisitor to receive the listed bonus.
Bane
At 5th level, an inquisitor can imbue one of her weapons with the bane weapon special ability as a swift action.
A bane weapon excels against certain foes. Against a designated foe, the weapon's enhancement bonus is +2 better than its actual bonus. It also deals an extra 2d6 points of damage against such foes. This ability only functions while the inquisitor wields the weapon. If dropped or taken, the weapon resumes granting this ability if it is returned to the inquisitor before the duration expires.
This ability lasts for a number of rounds per day equal to the inquisitor's level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Stalwart
At 11th level, an inquisitor can use mental and physical resiliency to avoid certain attacks. If she makes a Fortitude or Will saving throw against an attack that has a halved damage on a successful save, she instead avoids the damage entirely. This ability can only be used if the inquisitor is wearing light armor, medium armor, or no armor.
Greater Bane
At 12th level, whenever an inquisitor uses her bane ability, the amount of bonus damage dealt by the weapon against creatures of the selected type increases to 4d6.

Summon Monster
Starting at 1st level, a monster tactician can cast summon monster I as a spell-like ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Wisdom modifier. She can cast this spell as a standard action, and the creatures remain for 1 minute per level (instead of 1 round per level). At 3rd level and every 2 inquisitor levels thereafter, the power of this ability increases by 1 spell level, allowing her to summon more powerful creatures (to a maximum of summon monster IX at 17th level). A monster tactician cannot have more than one summon monster spell active in this way at a time; if she uses another, any existing summon monster immediately ends.
