Battlesigns are adjusted each time individuals learn new tricks in addition to periodic rehearsals. Any group member can become the designated leader but this is generally the Warlord themselves as it supplements other abilities (the leader can do ranged help every turn if they desired).Extended Signs - the standard use of Battle signs only refer to highly custom referencing of the abilities and gambits of the combatants on the team and can be adjusted frequently extended signs are a personalized coded sign language that it takes longer for individuals to learn but is more generalized not combat related information. Whistles In the dark using audible signs the party can compensate for darkness this is similar to the above the Warlord reminds and rehearses this with the party periodically to renew it. (aka light cantrip?). Knowing where each other and engaged enemies and obstacles are in the dark involves making enough noise this is not the great stealth tool it might be. This must be initiated with a role call bonus action (individuals identify and locate themselves), generally at the beginning of a fight or change of scene.Predatory Stare (Hector Warlord) - (based on vicious mockery) Searching for vulnerabilities  your unnerving focus drives your enemy to overcompensate inducing it to have disadvantage on its first attack following and you discover its vulnerability if it fails a wisdom save. The next successful attack against that enemy during the following round gains bonus damage of d6 or 2d6 at 5th level 3d6 at 11th and 4d6 at 17th level.</blockquote>
