From Merriam-Webster: "to intimidate or harass by bluster or personal pressure; [e.g.] football players being hectored by their coach."What's "hector[ing]" an enemy? That's a new one for me.

They kind of did, in SCAG's Purple Dragon Knight--I can dig out the quote if you want, but someone who worked on the book confirmed on a podcast that it was an attempt to get a warlord-like subclass into 5E. And I don't think any of the warlord fans on this board were happy with it (can't speak for anyone not on this board).

People weren't happy with the PDK because there wasn't enough PDK.Yeah, but there was no way they were going to call it a warlord, or imply in the book that the subclass was meant to be 5e's version of a warlord. If they did, I imagine the reaction would be pretty vitriolic lol
of course you can.
Try listing everything a wizard can do. Burn things, teleportation, turn invisible, fly, summon creatures, dominate people's minds, turn people to stone, reverse gravity, disguise themselves as anything, suck the life out of people, create illusion, clone themselves....
Over 30 different spells and 10 cantrips just at level 1.
it's a massive list, way bigger than the warlord, and everyone will have a different opinion on what spells they should be able to cast, and what their ideal version of a wizard is.
Yet you can have a wizard who isn't OP, because he can't do everything all at once. You have to choose which one you do.
Similarly, a warlord could have 20 maneuvers, but only do one at a time. Just don't do anything like give them more actions and you're fine.
And as a balance point, consider that a level 11 wizard could cast haste every battle. So a level 11 warlord should give out about the same amount.

The abilities where fine, the name was fine, but it only let you be a PDK a few times per day. Most of the time a PDK is a fighter, swinging his weapon.

Banneret serves as the generic name for this archetype if you use it in other campaign settings or to model warlords other than Purple Dragon knights
It's nice of these forums to learn new words (like vitriolic).I would of been happier with the purple dragon knight if they hadn't been so afraid of vitriolic, rabid anti-Warlord fans that they put the defining feature at level 10 rather than level 3.
That's simply inaccurate.You crit more and get an extra combat style covers the entire design space of the Champion
