Taking all the warlord abilities from the bard/rogue/fighter and putting them together in a single class.
All WotC approved abilities.

1: Bardic Inspiration, Protection Fighting Style
2: PDK second wind, expertise
3: Combat Superiority
4: ABI
5: Font of Inspiration
6: Tactical Master.
7: Multi-Attack.
8: ABI
9: Bardic Inspiration (d8), Combat superiority (d8)
10: Cutting Words, Battle Inspiration
11: PDK action surge
12: ABI
13: Panache (swashbuckler)
14: Bardic inspiration, combat superiority (d10).
15: PDK indomitable (2x)
16: ABI
17: 2nd action surge.
18: Bardic Inspiration, combat superiority (d12).
19: ABI
20: Relentless, Superior Inspiration.


Not sure if that's a good order, and I'd also probably make 1 die pool instead of 2 (or 1/turn), but there's a full class worth of stuff.

I like it in a frankenstein sort of way.

I think I would cut off his Fighting Style.

Protection style is a pretty warlord-y ability. Using your reaction to give disadvantage.

I do agree that archery or duelist are not, so i'll switch it to just protection style.

Duelist wasn't, but an Archer build was a Warlord option in 4E.

So this "non-front line, support" role also needs archery, one of the better fighting styles? This is just more kitchen-sinkery, if you ask me.

You know, Psikerlord also made a subless warlord class. A warlord fix could certainly be a flat class, like the four classes in the Basic PDF.

5E can be played without subclass bloat.

EDIT: What about swapping 5 and 7?

This "class" will work fine with a bow, running Dex/Cha.

You only lose 1 feature, which is a reasonable penalty for being ranged. Or just allow archery style.

As more stuff is released, i can add sub-classes.

7 is too weak for the big level 5.

I guess what I am typing is that it might be kinda cool to come up with a Flat Classes 5E. Just write out the class with a subclass and call it a class.

Assassin Class
Thief Class
Arcane Trickster Class.

Pros: MC Assassin Arcane Trickster!

Woot!

/end derail.

7 and 5 are a good change because Expertise at level 5 can fill in missing spots in the party. And PDK second wind might be more useful at lower levels. I think it is a fair trade considering a supporting role versus another attack. Which could be considered support in its own way.
