[QUOTE="smbakeresq, post: 7366629, member: 28301"] That depends. Paladins will use Aura of Life, and will use Spirit Guardians as it is the best reason to take Crown. Bless is always great. But I get your point. A nonmagical Bless effect for a Warlord aura would be great, especially if it is based of CHR or INT. But it could also be way overpowered, so it would need limited use. INT might affect to hit rolls, CHR might affect damage. I would prefer THP granting, instead of healing. THP is proactive and would be unique to the Warlord, but no amount of inspiration or brains will help you when at 0 HP. When playing a Paladin I always take Inspiring Leader, that's just way to much temp HP to give up every short rest, I could see that feat being removed and given as class power to Warlords or something along those lines. I could see granting temp HP using the hit dice mechanic i.e. limited to 1/2 HD per long rest but you get CON and Durable bonus. I would greatly prefer a warlord class, its exactly how I play every Paladin. Aid stacked with Inspiring Leader is a large chuck of HP for some classes, and is a subtle but effective tactic. As a sort of playtest, I will run my Crown paladin (5th level now) 1. using "bless" all the time but with my CHR mod as opposed to 1d4. CHR to damage I think would work best as its more of a "Bravura" type 2. Inspiring leader whenever possible. 3. Aid right off the bat every day. 4. No smites. 5. A few other things that I think of.
