Investigator's Stratagem
Playing out a fight mentally beforehand sharpens a Strike, though the trick leans on cleverness rather than raw physical instinct.
You play out battles in your head, allowing you to Strike when the time is right. You gain the Devise a Strategem action; however, when you substitute its result for your attack roll, you can't use your Intelligence modifier in place of your Strength or Dexterity modifier. You also can't use your Intelligence modifier on other rolls from abilities that expand Devise a Stratagem, such as the feat.
