Archetype
At level one, choose what your commanding style will be. You may choose from Canny and Courageous.
Commander
Also at level one, you may choose to issue a Command as a bonus action or in place of an attack. You may not target yourself with a Command, unless it explicitly allows you to. You have access to all commands available to a Warlord of your level, as listed below.
Techniques
At level two, you gain Techniques. Techniques are, in many ways, similar to casting a spell-however, they are (unless otherwise noted) non-magical.
You automatically know all Techniques available to use, but may only prepare a number equal to half your Warlord level (rounded down) plus your Intelligence modifier, to a minimum of one.
Intelligence determines how potent your Techniques are. Your attack roll with a Technique, should one be made, is equal to your proficiency bonus plus your Intelligence modifier. Your save DC for any Techniques are 8+your proficiency modifier+your Intelligence modifier.
Fighting Style
At level two, you may pick any Fighting Style of your choice. Warlords tend to favor Protection or Defense.
Rallying Cry
At level three, you can, once per short rest, unleash a mighty cry of bravery and heroics as an action, rallying your allies. Any ally within 60' may spend a hit die (adding their Constitution bonus as normal to the amount healed) and, if they were conscious before spending the hit die, gain advantage on their next attack roll or save roll (their choice).
Ability Score Improvement
At levels four, eight, twelve, sixteen, and nineteen, you may increase any two stats by one, or any one stat by two.
Extra Attack
At level five, you may attack twice instead of once when you take the Attack action on your turn. At level seventeen, this increases to three times.
Stand Strong
At level six, you provide steadfast comfort and determination to you and your allies. All allies within 10' (including yourself) reduce any damage by an amount equal to your proficiency bonus.
At level eighteen, this extends to 30'.
Combined Assault
At level ten, you can direct allies into a devastating combined assault once per short rest. As an action, declare a single enemy you can perceive, and make a single attack against them. Any ally who makes an attack against that enemy gains a cumulative +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls for each attack made by an ally made since you declared the Combined Assault. This effect lasts till the start of your next turn.
A Party consisting of a Warlord, a Paladin, a Wizard, and a Rogue, all 10th level, are fighting a Lich.
The Warlord declares a Combined Assault, and attacks the Lich once-the Lich uses Shield and the attack misses.
Next, the Lich goes, and attempts to Fireball the party, but is Counterspelled.
The Paladin attacks next, swinging twice-their first attack is made with an extra +1 to attack and damage, as the Warlord has attacked the Lich once. Their second attack is made with +2, as their own attack counts as well.
The Rogue then goes, attacking once with +3 to their attack and damage rolls.
The Wizard finally goes, and uses Synaptic Static-which requires a save roll, and therefore is unaffected.
Then, the Warlord's turn starts, and the effect of Combined Assault ends.
Master Commander
At level eleven, you may issue two Commands as a bonus action, instead of just one. You may, as normal, replace an attack with a Command as well.
Canny Survivor
At level fourteen, you gain proficiency in any one save of your choice that you do not already have proficiency in.
Battlefield Awareness
At level fifteen, you and your allies work as a seamless unit when it comes to knowing who's where and what's needed. You may designate a number of people equal to your intelligence modifier to be part of your core unit. (Your core unit always includes yourself, not counting against the number of people who can be in it.) If anyone in the core unit is not surprised by an ambush, then no one in it is. If anyone in the core unit is aware of an enemy's location, then all are. This works for anyone part of the core unit within 120' of the Warlord and able to see or hear them.
Grand Order
At level twenty, you gain access to a single Grand Order. This is usable once per long rest, in place of any other order, and has monumental effects.
Canny Commander
Quick-Witted
At level one, you may add your Intelligence modifier to your Initiative rolls.
Unified Alacrity
At level seven, you may add your Intelligence modifier to any allies' Initiative rolls, provided they are within 10'. At level eighteen, this increases to 30'. Additionally, you may now add your proficiency modifier to your Initiative rolls.
Technique Recovery
At level nine, you may regain a single Technique slot over the course of a short rest. You may only do so once per long rest.
Quick Travel
At level thirteen, you may travel at a normal pace while still moving Stealthily, and at a fast pace without a penalty to Perception.
Impossibly Keen
At level eighteen, you may choose to simply go first in a combat. You may do so once per long rest.
Courageous Commander
Brave
At level one, you gain advantage on saves against becoming Frightened.
United We Stand
At level seven, allies within 10' gain advantage on saves against becoming Frightened. At level eighteen, this increases to 30'. Additionally, you become immune to the Frightened condition.
Snap Out Of It
At level nine, you may, as a bonus action, allow an ally within 60' who can see or hear you to make an immediate save against an ongoing effect.
Deeds And Words
At level thirteen, you gain proficiency in Persuasion. If you already had proficiency, gain Expertise. If you already had Expertise, you may gain any one other skill of your choice.
Sure Strike
At level eighteen, you may choose to make any attack roll into a critical hit. You may do so once per long rest.
