[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 6101562, member: 6696971"] I wanted to break this out of the podcast thread and post a poll to get some specific numbers and hopefully some specific commentary that reveals people's expectations. Here is 10 levels of a quick and dirty, made-up Warlord on a funky Cleric/Rogue hybrid chassis. This is not on a Fighter chassis. I personally don't see how can get to the below with the Fighter, some maneuvers and a Background/Specialty. Do others? If so, how? How invasive this is to people's "immersion/believability threshold" that are heavily vested in that interest? How close is this (considering the limitations of transcribing 4e classes to 5e) to a Warlord that a 4e player would enjoy playing (thematically and tactically)? Warlord (Field Marshal) Ability Adjustment: +1 to your Strength, Intelligence, or Charisma score. Starting Hit Points: 8 + Constitution modifier Armor and Weapon Proficiencies: Light armor, medium armor, and shields Weapon Proficiencies: All simple and martial weapons Hit Dice: 1d8 per warlord level Hit Points: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per warlord level gained [TABLE="class: cms_table, width: 500"] [TR] [TD]Level[/TD] [TD]Weapon Attack[/TD] [TD]That's an Order[/TD] [TD]MDDice[/TD] [TD]MDB[/TD] [TD]Class Features (* See below*)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]1[/TD] [TD]+1[/TD] [TD]1/day[/TD] [TD]NA[/TD] [TD]NA[/TD] [TD]BCT, TaO, VoaTT[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]2[/TD] [TD]+1[/TD] [TD]2/day[/TD] [TD]NA[/TD] [TD]NA[/TD] [TD] [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]3[/TD] [TD]+1[/TD] [TD]2/day[/TD] [TD]NA[/TD] [TD]NA[/TD] [TD]SS[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]4[/TD] [TD]+2[/TD] [TD]2/day[/TD] [TD]NA[/TD] [TD]NA[/TD] [TD]KTE[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]5[/TD] [TD]+2[/TD] [TD]3/day[/TD] [TD]NA[/TD] [TD]NA[/TD] [TD] [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]6[/TD] [TD]+2[/TD] [TD]3/day[/TD] [TD]1d6[/TD] [TD]NA[/TD] [TD]Combat Expertise[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]7[/TD] [TD]+2[/TD] [TD]3/day[/TD] [TD]1d6[/TD] [TD]NA[/TD] [TD]AAO[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]8[/TD] [TD]+2[/TD] [TD]4/day[/TD] [TD]1d6[/TD] [TD]NA[/TD] [TD] [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]9[/TD] [TD]+3[/TD] [TD]4/day[/TD] [TD]1d6[/TD] [TD]NA[/TD] [TD]DDoM[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]10[/TD] [TD]+3[/TD] [TD]4/day[/TD] [TD]2d6[/TD] [TD]NA[/TD] [TD]MoI[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] 1 - [B](BCT) Battle Captain's Tactics[/B] - As an action, you can use any of the below 3 Tactics: [I]Better Part of Valor[/I] - As an action, you can make a melee or ranged attack.
