Commanders are authoritative trainers that focus on Pokémon battling. Commanders prefer to stand in the back lines, and direct their allies through battle, like a conductor leading a grand orchestra. Their versatility is their greatest strength, and one they are often eager and proud to use.
Commanders tend to be fond of complex plans and tactical set-ups; as such, they make more effective and efficient use of the Orders Features that are available to all Trainers through General Features and synergize well with other Classes that have their own Orders too. They are experts at organizing deadly and well-coordinated assaults.
Rolled the old Battle Conductor and Scheme Twist into one Feat, since they were really similar, and ditched the old Tip The Scales, since you probably won't need more targets than you can already get with Battle Conductor. Gave the Class some in-class Combat Stage buffing ability, and a bit more mobilization in Rally. Most importantly, swapped some of the Features around, so you no longer get access to the powerful Orders at level 1.
