[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 6760642, member: 6788736"] Is there any reason 'spells' need to be 'arcane or divine' and not 'martial' in origin? Theyre martial powers [spells]. Or if thats not good enough, look at a human S+B Fighter (PDK) 4 (Feats: inspiring leader, martial adept [commanders strike, manouvering attack], protection fighting style). S 15 (16) D 8 C 12 I 10 W 11 Ch 15 (16) Noble background. Persuasion (expertise) +7, Athletics +5, Perception +2, History +2, Insight +2 Position of priveledge: Thanks to your noble birth, people are inclined to think the best of you. You are welcome in high society, and people assume you have the right to be wherever you are. The common folk make every effort to accommodate you and avoid your displeasure, and other people of high birth treat you as a member of the same social sphere. You can secure an audience with a local noble if you need to. He can (once per short rest): [LIST] [*]Inspire up to six of his allies, granting each of them 7 temp HP each. [*]Heal 3 allies as a bonus action for 4 HP each (and heal 1d10+4 himself) [*]Expend his superiority die on hitting an opponent (adding the dice to damage) and allow one of his allies to use its reaction to move up to half its speed without provoking opportunity attacks. [*]Expend his superiority dice and forgo one of his own attacks and use a bonus action to direct a companion to use its reaction to make one weapon attack, adding the superiority die to the attack’s damage roll. [*]Action surge (attack + help action) [/LIST] While also using his reaction every single round to impose disadvantage on an attack roll directed at an adjacent ally. Underneath all that, he's still a fighter. Looks pretty Warlord-ey to me. Personally, I would dip into Paladin after 5th for 6 levels (for +cha to all ally saves, lay on hands, a horse, divine smite, duelling fighting style) but you could happily stick with fighter and no-one would be any the wiser.
