Warlord: Difference between revisions

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.

'''Destined Leader.''' Starting at 1st level when you take this Presence you gain proficiency with rapiers, longswords and the Persuasion skill, or another skill of your choice if you are already proficient. Additionally, you gain an additional Leadership Die at 3rd level, 9th level, and 15th level.

'''Call to Arms.''' Starting at 1st level, when you roll initiative you can call out to friendly creatures within 60 feet of you, providing them with a surge of inspiration, they can add your Charisma modifier to their first attack roll made before the end of their turn.

'''Inspiring Leader.''' Additionally at 1st level, a creature with a CR of less than half your Warlord level can choose to use your proficiency bonus + Charisma modifier for the attack roll modifier on the first Attack they make in a turn where they have been granted by Battlefield Presence instead of their normal attack roll modifier.

'''Divine Right.''' Starting at 3rd level, you can use Leadership Dice (up to your per turn limit) to cast Command. The level of the spell is equal to the number of Leadership Dice spent. The spell save DC for these spells are 8 + your Charisma modifier + your Proficiency bonus.

You can also add your Charisma (maximum 2) to your AC so long as you are not wearing heavy armor or using a shield.

'''Charismatic Leadership.''' Additionally at 3rd level, you can add your Charisma modifier to the damage bonus of Rallying Mark, the temporary hit points granted by Urgent Orders, and the attack roll of a creature that gains advantage from Helpful Word.

'''Words of Conviction.''' Starting at 7th level, you can use Leadership Dice (Up to your per turn limit) to cast Bless or Heroism without providing material components. The level of the spell is equal to the number of Leadership Dice spent.

'''Imperative Order.''' Starting at 7th level, when you spend 2 or more Leadership Dice on a target with Urgent Orders, you can allow the target creature to make a single weapon attack with their reaction instead of moving. If you spend 3 or more Leadership Dice on a target, the target creature can both move and make a single weapon attack with their reaction.

'''Inspired Zeal.''' Starting at 11th level, you are always under the effect of the Crusader's Mantle spell.

'''Untouchable Presence.''' Starting at 15th level, you are under the effect of the Sanctuary spell. This effect ends as normal if you take an action that would break it, but returns at the start of your next turn. The spell save DC for this spell is 8 + your Charisma modifier + your Proficiency bonus.

'''Grand Decree.''' Starting at 18th level, you can use this ability to cast Command without expending a spell slot or Leadership Dice. When you do so, the spell affects all creatures of your choice within range that could be affected by the spell.
