Well,me and a friend where debating something and I was wondering if you could help us out heres the question:

My pal says that if he takes Lord Castellan Ursarkar E. Creed but takes him as a senior officer and not as a special character that he can still use the master strategist special rule,I say he can't,who's right?

No, you only get a character special rules if you are using him as that character. Does the 'master strategist' rule appear anywhere in a senior officer's rules? No, thought not.

Creed is a special character and does not offer a way for him to be used other than as a special character so I'm not sure I understand.

It seems that you mean he is using Creed's model to represent a normal senior officer, in which case, no, none of Creed's special rules apply.

Lord Castellan Ursarkar E. Creed may only be taken as a special character... because that's what he is.

If however you use the Lord Castellan Ursarkar E. Creed model as a different officer thats a proxy and falls under house rule territory.

And besides creed's special rules nolonger work in 5th edition deployment as it is now 1 roll.
