Usual caveat blahblahblah roles, but who would want this guy instead of a bard, druid, or cleric? These abilities don't even begin to match the raw ability of second level spells in most cases. The problem with this (and this is going to be shock coming from my keyboard) is that I can't see enough utility to make it stand as its own thing. For me, the warlord was good at granting extra actions, healing, stacking bonuses, and occasional melee attacks. Stacking bonuses are off the table (due to advantage being a 1/situation scenario), healing seems fairly weak (not good enough to compare with BCD or even P, maybe on par with a ranger*?) which leaves it as a class that gives other classes a chance to break the action economy (really, its kinda a class that grants other classes Legendary Actions and Resistances; ie extra out-of-turn actions and automatic saves.)* Though this got me thinking... could a viable warlord be built out of the spell-less ranger chassis minus the obvious ranger stuff (like primeval awareness) and plus this healing surge healing and more superiority dice? Might be a good starting point...</blockquote>
