Warlord

Two vast armies stand across the field of death, fear gripping the heart of every soldier. From their ranks, the banner is carried forth - a shining beacon without fear. Before they even know it, their feet pound across the ground, their fear left behind as they follow their symbol of hope to victory.
Collapsing to the ground, a man succumbs to wounds, exhaustion, terror, and the overwhelming clash of steel all around. Death closes in, but before it can claim him, a hand appears, pulling him to his feet. "On your feet, soldier".
The line will soon be overrun—until, among the broken ranks of soldiers, a lone soldier spots his liege. She stands, unwilling to turn aside, unwilling to step back from danger, holding back the horde of enemies alone. Retreat is no longer an option. With newfound strength behind every blow, the soldiers stand and fight like no one has ever fought before.
"How did you do it?" hisses the marauder, his sword dropped before him in surrender. He kneels beside his captured comrades, encircled by a smaller force that seems to have come from nowhere. The victorious general smiles knowingly and shrugs. "Luck," he says. "And perhaps a bit of planning."
Warlords are force multipliers for their companions. Some may be fearsome combatants, while others may never lift a weapon, but in either case their presence on the battlefield will drive their allies to new heights, guiding them safely through what would surely have been their doom.
How victory is stolen from the jaws of defeat can vary, from inciting crazed zeal, to tempering an overeager charge, to pulling their friends out of the line of danger in the nick of time. The sole commonality is that a Warlord alone is but a man, while a Warlord with their companions is a legend.
Purpose is a common element to those that walk the path of a Warlord. Purpose empowers Warlords to be a larger-than-life, and allows them to be a guiding hand to their comrades. Some Warlords may not seek any particular cause, and merely pursue victory - either as a tribute to a god they worship or simply to attain personal glory. More often, though, a Warlord is driven by a higher purpose - a loyalty to their country or their men, a drive to protect the innocent or crush the weak.
Most warlords have no explicitly magical powers, but the presence on the battlefield allows people to exceed what they might have thought of as their own limits, pushing beyond what they could hope to achieve on their own. A Warlord will make their allies feel like they've become better at everything, they will make problems seem surmountable, and they will make the path clear. They make the world less bleak, they make the foes less terrifying. When you have a Warlord on your side, more things go right.
Just as a dragon's frightful presence instills a supernatural dread in mortal adventurers, a Warlord's presence is more than just simple common sense and a head for strategy, it is the power of conviction, the perfection of tactics, or the will to win incarnated in Adventurer form.

Warlord Presences

Presence of the Commander

A Commander on the field can be many things - a trusted sergeant, a weary veteran, or merely a person with an uncommon degree of common sense and a particularly keen eye for how to win a fight.
While not as flashy as some of the other Presences on the Battlefield, that just means they are less likely to get themselves skewered. A keen word there and helping hand here, their influence is subtle but effective, inexorably shifting the tides of battle in their favor.

Presence of the Chieftain

A chieftain is a Warlord that rules by the sheer force of their personality, marked by their booming voice and fearless attitude, it is easy to believe that your band is infallible while your chieftain stands.
They can be lawful or chaotic, good or evil, with such things depending on how they got to where they are in life. A Leonin that cut their way to the top may be chaotic, believing that strength needs room to rise to the top unfettered by rules, while someone that inherited their authority may have a more lawful bent.

You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your Charisma Modifier, regaining expended uses at the end of a Long Rest.

Presence of the Noble

A Warlord with a Noble Presence is not inherently one that was born a Noble, though many are. A Noble Presence Warlord is one that serves to drive their retainers and companions onto greater heights through sheer charisma, a shining beacon of what they are fighting for standing beside them.
Since time immemorial men have fought twice as hard on a battlefield when their leader takes the field to stand among them, driven to heights that would seem impossible in order to protect their liege - while an adventurer of this path may or may not be their liege, their charisma invokes the same fervor in their companions and retainers.
An adventurer on this path is not inherently of noble background, though many often are. A noble reared on the laws of the land is usually lawful, but extraordinary circumstances may have brought about a rebellious streak in one that now seeks to overthrow unfit rulers (or rulers that aren't them, anyway).

Destined Leader

You gain Proficiency with Rapiers, Longswords, Sabers, and Persuasion.

Once you cast Command using this ability, you cannot cast it using this ability again until you complete a long rest.

Presence of the Packleader

While Warlords may specialize in the control of battles, a Packleader is a Warlord that aims to win a fight before it becomes a battle. Through scouting, preparing, and stacking the odds, they don't fight fair, they fight to win, and seek to only fight when they've already won.
Their control of the battlefield doesn't merely extend to those that fight on it, but to twisting the battlefield itself to suit their needs, stymying and stupefying their foes while concealing and sheltering their allies with the terrain itself. While good and evil rarely play directly into a Packleader's perspective (they can be either or Neutral just as easily), they tend be Chaotic, viewing the so called "rules of engagement" and other traditions of civilization to be convenient weaknesses they can exploit rather than any sort of guideline they might actually follow.

Tools of the Wild

1st Level Presence of the Packleader Feature
You gain Proficiency with Martial Weapons, Survival, Herbalism Kits and Poisoner's Kits.

Concealed Approach

1st Level Presence of the Packleader Feature

Nature’s Gift

3rd Level Presence of the Packleader Feature

You use Wisdom as your Spellcasting Ability for all of these Spells.

Shroud of Nature. Starting at 7th level, you and your allies can fade away behind natural shrouds. Whenever you cast a spell that results in you or a friendly creature becoming obscured (such as being within the radius of a Fog Cloud or behind earth moved by Mold Earth), the obscured creature can use their reaction to take the Hide action.

Trackless Trails. Additionally at 7th level, you can spend 2 Leadership Dice to cast Pass Without Trace without providing material components.

Fleeting Strikers. Starting at 11th level, if you are not in the same spot you were at the end of your last turn or are obscured from your target, the first attack you make during your turn deals an additional 1d10 damage. Additionally, a creature that you grant an Attack with Battlefield Presence can take the Dash action instead of making the attack you granted.

Ghosts of the Wild. Starting at 15th level, while under the effect of Pass Without Trace, you can expend one Leadership Die to take the Hide action at the end of your turn without expending an action. If you use Battlefield Presence to grant an attack to a creature, you can expend one Leadership Die to shroud them with shadows or natural phenomena, granting them advantage on the first attack they make before the start of your next turn. If they are under the effect of pass without trace, you can do this without expending a Leadership Die.

Warlord of the Wilds. Starting at 18th level, you can pick five additional spells from the Druid spell list of 4th level or lower. You can cast these spells using Leadership Dice equal to the level of the spell. You can change the list of spells you have selected when you complete a long rest. The spell Save DC for these spells is 8 + your Proficiency modifier + your Wisdom Modifier. Any time you use Leadership Dice to cast a spell, you can take the Attack action (one weapon attack only) as a bonus action.

Presence of the Paragon

Legends tell of warriors that fight at the front of a legion, of the valor they display and the inspiration it gives their comrades. A Paragon before their army is a dauntless foe, and an army behind their Paragon is an unstoppable legion. A Paragon is not inherently good or evil. An evil legion can be led by a bold and charismatic Warlord just as effectively as the forces of good. As they tend to be those that inspire an organized force, more often than not they will be lawful, but what that personal code of laws entails can vary quite widely.

Martial Proficiency. Starting at 1st level when you take this Presence, you gain proficiency in heavy armor, shields, and martial weapons.

Lead the Charge. Starting at 1st level, you can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Charisma modifier. Additionally, when you roll initiative you gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus.

Fighting Style. At 3rd level you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again. Whenever you gain a level in this class you can swap a Fighting Style you have with one you do not have with one you could have learned from this feature.

Blind Fighting. You have blindsight with a range of 10 feet. If you already have blindsight it increases the range of your blindsight by 10 feet. Within that range, you can effectively see anything that isn’t behind total cover, even if you’re blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see an invisible creature within that range, unless the creature successfully hides from you.

Defense. While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

Dueling. When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

Great Weapon Fighting. When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Thrown-Weapon Fighting. You can draw a weapon that has the thrown property as part of the attack you make with the weapon.

In addition, when you hit with a ranged attack using a thrown weapon, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll.

Two-Weapon Fighting. When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

Heroic Strike. Additionally at 3rd level, when you take the Attack action, once per turn you can expend Leadership Dice (up to your per turn limit) to apply Rallying Mark as part of a melee weapon attack. Whenever you expend Leadership Dice as part of making an attack, you can add the expended Leadership Dice to the damage roll of the attack.

Stand Defiant. Starting at 7th level, when you are reduced to 0 hit points, you instantly regain a number of hit points equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). Additionally, you can expend a number of Leadership Dice equal to the number of friendly creatures within 60 feet of you, regaining additional hit points equal to the value rolled this way. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining expended uses at the end of a long rest.

Inspired Warrior. Starting at 11th level, once per turn, when one of your allies within 30 feet takes or deals damage, you gain d4 dice, adding it to a pool of dice. You can have a maximum number of d4 dice in this pool equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). Until the end of your next turn, when you deal damage you can expend any number of dice from this pool rolling them and dealing additional damage equal to the value rolled.

Dauntless Resolve. Starting at 15th level, when you fail a saving throw, you can choose to succeed instead. Once you do this, you cannot do this again until you complete a long rest.

Invincible Legion. Starting at 18th level, your allies will never fall so long as their symbol of hope remains. When a friendly creature within 60 feet of you is reduced to 0 hit points, but not killed outright, they can drop to 1 hit point instead so long as they can see or hear you. Once a creature benefits from this effect, they cannot benefit from it again until they complete a long rest.

Presence of the Tactician

A Tactician may very well tell you they would just as soon not be close enough to the battle to be considered a combatant, preferring to win their fights before they even reach that stage, but one would be a fool to underestimate how dangerous they are once on the battlefield. While they might have laid their plans in advance, their sharp minds can quickly pick apart how their foes try to fight against them and effortlessly pierce the crude tactics that would be used against them and their allies. What tends to mark a Tactician is a keen mind and a willingness to plan ahead, in great detail. Adventurers with a tactician among them are near impossible to pin down, as they will always find a way to turn the tables.

Tactician's Cunning. When you take this Presence at 1st level, you gain proficiency in the History and Investigation skills, or other skills of your choice if you are already proficient. Additionally, if you can take a minute or more making a skill check, you can treat a d20 roll of 4 or lower as a 5.

Battle Plans. Starting at 1st level, you can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Intelligence modifier. Additionally, you can exchange your initiative roll with a willing friendly creature within 60 feet.

Tactical Insight. Starting at 3rd level, you can tactically assess a creature's options. As a bonus action, make an Intelligence (Investigation) check contested by a Charisma (Deception) check against any creature you can see within 60 feet. On a success, you can see through their tactics, granting one of the following effects:

Determine Attack. You can cause them to have disadvantage on their next attack against a creature that can see or hear you.

Predict Movement. You deduce where they are planning to move on their next turn. They can choose to change their plans, but if they move anywhere else, their movement speed is reduced by 10 feet as they scramble to adapt.

Outwit Response. You can find their openings, negating their ability to use their reaction until the end of their next turn.

Expose Weakness. You can use Helpful Word to grant advantage against that target as part of the bonus action without expending a Leadership Die.

Tactical Flexibility. Additionally at 3rd level, you gain the ability to use Tactical Insight, Rallying Mark, Helpful Word, and Urgent Orders as an action or a bonus action on your turn.

Inscrutable Mind. Starting at 7th level, you gain proficiency in Intelligence Saving Throws. Additionally, as a reaction when being forced to make a Wisdom, Intelligence, or Charisma Saving Throw, you can expend one Leadership Die and add the die result to the saving throw.

Control the Field. Starting at 7th level, when you use an ability that moves allied creatures (such as Urgent Orders or Shift the Field), it gains the following properties: Deceptive Movement. You can attempt to move creatures that are not allies up to 5 feet (or half their movement speed, whichever is less). The creature must make an Intelligence Saving Throw with a DC of 8 + your Intelligence modifier + your Proficiency bonus, or feel compelled to move to the new position immediately. Targets moved this way do not gain temporary hit points unless you choose them too. Coordinated Transitions. Allies can move through each other's spaces during the movement you grant without it being difficult terrain.

Tactical Strike. Starting at 11th level, when you succeed on a Tactical Insight check against a creature, the next time you or a friendly creature deal damage against it before the start of your next turn it is increased by 2d6 damage.

Advanced Orders. Additionally at 15th level, when you expend Leadership Die on Urgent Orders, you can allow the creature to take one of the Use an Object, Search, Hide, or Dodge actions as their reaction instead of moving.

Unstoppable Schemes. Starting at 18th level, standing in your way becomes a pointless endeavor. When you move your allies with Urgent Orders or Shift the Field, they can move through spaces occupied by hostile creatures so long as they do not end their movement in an occupied space.

Multilayered Tactics. Additionally at 18th level, when you succeed on a Tactical Insight check against a creature, you can choose two of the listed effects.
