Battle captain exploits follow the same hands - on philosophy that battle captains prefer . " Force retreat " is one such , upfront technique wherein a battle captain throws themselves into their enemy , pushing them backwards into other nearby foes . Battle captains can also , with the " bolt of genius " exploit , inspire their allies to such a degree as to allow them to use spell s or other , similar abilities they ’ d thought they ’ d exhausted .
