I hate to be this guy, but as I said in a previous thread, I would use the UA Mystic with a trimmed list of disciplines only and change psi-points to command points.
But, if I had to choose from the list, I would go with the warlock's:
- At will maneuvers
- Few short rest tactics that automatically increases in power up to a certain level
- Daily masterplans
I have in mind to replicate the AED progressions of 4e and converting a short list of warlord powers. Something like this:

I get where you’re coming from, but I think it’s best to use a martial class as the model. Part of the Mystic’s issue is that it’s too complicated as a base class.
Also, IMO, it should be a warrior class.
Would you mind sharing it? Or the link to the dmguild if its not free.Voted for monk, as my preferred homebrew warlord uses monk as a base, and the ki point model works well for warlord abilities.
Yep, and Ki and martial arts are a really strong model for a scaling bonus and a limited resource.Yeah, I feel @lowkey13 might be be right, the monk has the right ratio of difficulty and its somewhat martial.
