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

Who needs a so-called heal-bot, when 100% recovery from every (EVERY) wound is just 8 ?

'Herald' sounds like it should be a subclass of Bard.

So does this entire class concept, tbh. Inspiring allies on the battlefield, rallying troops, offering support at the front lines, researching and planning epic battles...

"College of Warfare" doesn't sound too bad to me.

Sure, I can see that, but, again: We don't want Spells.

(also, 8 what??)

So, looks like Marshal is winning pretty hard. I’m cool with that. @lowkey13 lets go ahead and update the build thread with Marshal as the name?

There are two indisputably good things about that name.

1. Marshal, martial. Martial, mashal.

2.

Well that decides it.

I personally like Captain. Though I am a big fan of the party being mercenaries, soldiers, or just part of some organization.

hours

Thus, the complete thought was: "you don't need a 'heal-bot' to get you back into the fight when you're making death saves - or help keep you from being dropped in the first place (except whackamole) - because in 8 hours you'll be fine."

Sorry, that was pasted in from a previous post response that I reconsidered. I should proofread more.

Support contributions leave a PC sliding more towards the Sidekick side of that one. Flashy spells and high-DPR multi-attacking are the stars.

If it were called Sidekick I'd be all for it.

Instead of "You shout an order at an ally, in that charmingly commanding way that you do, and even if that ally is 10 levels higher than you they suddenly see an incoming attack they didn't previously notice and are able to react, imposing disadvantage on the roll" it becomes "You throw yourself wildly at the creature threatening your friends, and although your weapon hits nothing but air, it distracts the creature, imposing disadvantage on the creature's attack."

Re-fluff it that way and I'm all in.

Or Sorcerer, Warlock, Assassin, Thief, Necromancer ...

I disagree with your comparison here. None of those terms indicate or imply rank.
