Rest of the discussion is going round and round. 1) the warlord can use the Help Action as a bonus action. Gets the additional rider of being able to use the help action out to 30'. This maps roughly to Cunning action and action surge. I could see expanding this to include disadvantage on single rolls by single targets instead.2) warlord gets medium armor, shields, and martial weapons, d8 HD3) he can perform the Help action as a reaction. Also can be done out to 30'. I'm also inclined to put a low grade heal or temp hp in here. Mellored suggested this in another thread, and I think "Cunning action, but on reactions" is a solid core. 4) he can use his action to grant someone else another attack, with the warlord's primary stat as a bonus to damage or to hit (undecided). I'm inclined to limit this in some fashion, as extra attacks are hard to come by, but have not nailed it down. Being able to spend their reaction against a target would be good. I think that's the core of it. Buff allies, rebuff foes, and granting attacks. I'd think that reaction enabling is a pretty good place to be, and help action use seems right as well. I've not put in any restrictions, but that's not to say that I don't think there shouldn't be some.</blockquote>
