[QUOTE="Ashrym, post: 7863388, member: 6750235"] I think [I]commander's strike[/I] would be better if it didn't also cost the bonus action and the attack. It should just cost the bonus action to be in line with other class abilities that direct attacks (pet classes). Being limited in number of uses makes sense because PC attacks tend to be a lot better than pet attacks. That's kind of what I mean by 5e's overall approach impacting what were considered good warlord abilities. Granting attacks is deliberately not a strong option in 5e. Multiclassing is something I've seen forum posters claim to do in order to make a warlord. I haven't tried to make the build myself so I cannot say how well one might perform. I know WotC intended the battle master and valor bard options to cover warlord styles because it was a topic of discussion back on the next forums while the game was still in public playtesting. Fighters and bards are popular but I doubt it's because people are trying to be warlords with them; they are just fun classes to play. The unfortunate part is that it did leave warlord fans wanting more. [/QUOTE]
