Hint you can't have at will attack granting it doesn't translate well.  A martial support character is a bad concept IMHO Tweet and Heinsoo may have screwed the pooch there. However I can work with it. Its not the worst thing in D&D ever (healer class and Marshall in 3.5). Mechanically it worked in 4E because of the way 4E was designed (basic attacks) unlike say 5E where a basic attack generally can be anywhere from 1d6+3 or so up to 10d6+5d8+10 (or more). Granting bonus damage dice for example accomplishes much the same thing but the hardcore fans won't budge on that as they are dead set on having abilities from 4E in the game where every other class is not a 100% translation of what came before. Its interesting though fans would rather go without in order to be pure/demanding etc than actually design a functional class.  At the end of the day you can design a warlord however you want but it won't make it into 5E officially if you do something silly like stick at will attack granting on it. PHB doesn't have it for a reason a nd despite claims of 5E not being balanced (it is just in a different way) the developers have been very care with things like bonus actions, reactions and class abilities that grant extra damage- generally limited to rerolls, +2, or an extra dice at higher levels that is situational or daily based (hex, colossus slayer etc). If you keep starting threads that get stuck in its own section, insist that its a popular class (its not), and insist that it does exact same things in 4E where 5E is using a different design thing gee I wonder why Mearls won't do it. Looks like you will actually get a Warlord though eventually. It will be a fighter sub class. Why not contact Mearls on twitter or one of his video feeds and bring up the idea of a new class and get as many people as you can on board?</blockquote>
