The Warlord doesn’t have all the defensive abilities of the Rogue (such as minor action Disengage, Evasion, etc), so if they stand in the fray they stand a greater chance of taking hits. Furthermore, they don’t have any incentive to invest in CON so the hp won’t be as high as it could be. You'll want a good STR so you can generate Insight Dice, but you'll also want a good INT, CHA or WIS to make use of your features... and you might even want a +1 to DEX to have a better AC, or you'll sacrifice that for +1 CON (it's also why I gave them shields). It might be too strong on rolled stats but on point buy you're gonna feel pretty MAD.I decided to make the sneak equivalent higher because it relies on two attacks hitting and your allie must decide if they use the die BEFORE attacking (unlike a Smite). Basically there’s less chance of them working than a regular sneak attack, hence the higher dice size. Also the Warlord can’t inflict that damage himself. I also wanted it to be a more important decision wether to just keep the dice for damage or use them up for signals.Though I should make it so you can’t generate dice on a reaction...STRIKE! Doesn’t always use a reaction because reactions are very precious in 5e and the best characters to use STRIKE on would prefer to keep their Opportunity Attack online most of the time.Extra Attack is so you can use a Shout AND attack on the same turn. I’m also planning a subclass that can use multiple shouts a turn. It replaces one of the Rogue’s many defensive ability.And I’ll rework the stun or get rid of it. I originally intended the damage roll to be the DC instead but it got way too wordy. I wish I had more conditions to work with.Not sure it matters where the dice are... but I could add a clause that says they dissapear if you’re incapacitated or something.I just fixed the minor action thing, thanks for pointing it out.Thanks for the good comment!</blockquote>
