Warlord: Difference between revisions

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.

'''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.

 

 

'''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.
