It's not hard to imagine a mechanic that works a little like bardic inspiration or superiority dice where when the warlord attacks an enemy, they put a die on it. Then, the next person to also attack that enemy can spend that die to do something to it (imagine a BM who put Rally onto an enemy, rather than using it themselves - "Next person to wail on this guy gets temp hp!"). Aside from porting over manuevers or inspiration effects, there might be some interestingly unique things to be done with a mechanic like that (like extending the effect through more hits, or to more of the party, or affecting nearby enemies, etc.). And if you require a hit rather than just another attack, you might be able to get some of the "risk/reward" vibe of the Bravura.Thinking about the healing from the perspective of "other PC's use my class abilities," I wonder if a warlord subclass who could use Second Wind...on someone else...might work OK for skeptics and fans alike. Generally speaking, in-combat healing isn't very valuable in 5e (one of the virtues of short fights!), so that could definitely get an allied PC back in the fight when they've been downed, and, hell, the fighter gets to use it in every fight (3x 1d10+Level is actually not bad for a day's worth of healing!). What do you think of a potential 5e warlord whose schtick was that other people got to use their class features? You could Second Wind other party members, the manuevers were things other party members could trigger (once you set them up)....maybe even share some of that extra attack love....</blockquote>
