Warlord (Homebrew Class) (5e)
Ressurected from 4e as part of my "hybrid class" series for 5e¸ the Warlord serves as a spiritual hybrid of the fighter (serving as a battlemaster "parent class") and bard (borrowing from their charismatic inspiration) while remaining true to the extremely popular 4e class. The Warlord class includes the following: - Command Area: the warlord emits an "aura" in which they can command their allies¸ providing small bursts of inspiration - Inspiring Word: the warlord can give inspiring reassurence to allies to heal them - 3 Subclasses: Assault (a frontline battler who supports their allies)¸ Preservation (a support build)¸ and Reconnaissance (a tactical/sneaky subclass based on strategy). - Combat Maneuvers and Superiority Dice: the warlord was designed to be a parent class to the 5e battlemaster¸ due to the battlemaster having its origins in the 4e warlord.
