D&D 5E (2014) Best Name For A “Leader” Class?

[doctorbadwolf]

I personally hate “warlord” even more than I love the class itself.

what is your favorite?

 

[Sacrosanct]

Commander

 

[Paul Farquhar]

Fred.

 

[doctorbadwolf]

Commander

I added Commander to the list. Not one Would pick, but it’s a solid addition.

 

[DEFCON 1]

''Marshal'. To "marshal" people around is a good part of what the class does, but it also does not represent a status position above the others in the party, like 'Captain' or 'Commander' does. Or indeed like the idea of a "Leader" does too.

 

[Fenris-77]

If it weren't already taken I'd suggest Mastermind, it indexes the planning without quite the same load of 'in charge'. Architect also works for me. up to a point.

 

[Tales and Chronicles]

Other:
Sentinel
Warden (ala AiME)
Knight

But, in this list, I'd go with Herald.

 

[Morrus]

Leader.

 

[doctorbadwolf]

I like Warden. I’m surprised that I’m the only one who likes Herald.

and...disappointed at how many can’t get past one of many uses of the term Captain.

 

[Fenris-77]

I like Sentinel quite a bit.
