Suck it up!: At 1 level and 1 more for 1 more time at 4 level and 1 additional time every 4
levels higher. As an immediate action a General can “Suck up” an enemy attack, When an a
general is hit by an enemy attack he can expand a Suck it up to reduce the damage To reduce the damage there is a 1d20 fort. Save + 2xGeneral Level of DC = Damage Dealt+Total Levels, if save succeeds the general takes ½ damage rounded down, Additionally suck it up! Can be applied to other damage you receive before the start of your next turn (no spell damage though). A flat-footed or helpless general can not Suck it Up! Note this is applied before damage reduction. A general can only use this ability while wearing heavy or medium armor.

At 2nd level a general receives improved toughness the feat (1 extra HP per level)

Hey I’m Getting This Heavy Armor Stuff Down!: at 3 level a general wearing heavy armor gains +1 more dex. bonus and two less armor check penalty, At 4 level a general gains endurance and can sleep in heavy armor At 6 level and every 2 levels above 6 a general gains one more DR/- when wearing heavy armor, At 8 level a general gains one more dex. Bonus from heavy armor along with one less check penalty when wearing heavy armor

Big Shield, Little Problem: at 5 level a general no longer has -2 to attack when using a tower shield.

Running’s for coward’s: starting at 6 level If an enemy is in a generals reach and tries to move out of melee combat with a General (more than a 5 foot step) then a general can immediately make an intimidate check opposed by a HD+wis mod. Check if the general wins then the opponent can’t move out of the generals attack range until next round. A general can only do this to one enemy per encounter (but repeated times as long as its the same enemy.) Also a general gets +4 saves vs. fear and fear effects. Until he gets to 14 level then he can stop as many enemies as he wants from running. This is a mind effecting fear ability. An enemy who successfully saves aganist Running's for Coward's gets +4 on his next save aganist it for the next 24 hours, If your opponent successfully saves again then he's immune to the same general's Running's for Coward's ability for 24 hours.

Super Power Attack: At 7 level If a General has Power Attack then he does 2 damage for every 1 to hit when wielding a weapon in one hand when using power attack.

Doing so take 1 minute, The chain has hardness and HP’s of a spiked chain of its size it can be made out any material and CAN be sundered (counts as a light weapon) but NOT disarmed (the weapon can not be disarmed either). The chain allows a general to attack with the weapon +5ft further. A General Can only equip a Chain to Heavy armor

If you want to fight, fight ME!: At 9 level a general can at the beginning of a general’s turn as a free action can (but the general can’t move including 5ft step) he “challenges” all enemies that are capable of taking a full attack against the general do so Also, enemies who are effected by If you want to fight, fight ME! Cannot take a 5ft step after there attack during there turn unless they make a will save = The general’s intimidate check, Enemies do not have to attack the general the next round. A general may only use this ability once per encounter. At 17 level all enemies who can melee attack the general in any way must attack him. A general can use this ability wearing any armor but should be wearing heavy as he's about to be attacked big!

and critical’s at 15 level the protection improves to 50% and 20 level it improves to 100%
(this only applies when not flatfooted)

TIMBER!!!: starting at 11 level by using a Suck it up charge A general who is knocked down unconscience or dead by an attack or a spell which doesn’t destroy your body can fall on an adjacent enemy an enemy must make a reflex save (+4 for every size catogorie bigger and -4 for every size category smaller) = 10+ ½ general level + Armor bonus or take xd4+ y where x is ½ the AC bonus of the armor roundeddown and y is your DR granted by Hey I’m getting the hang of this heavy armor stuff! Or by Armor Specialization feat or armor DR (like Adamantine Armor) Also the Enemy is knocked Prone. A general can only use timber while in heavy armor and only once a day

After glancing over it I'd probably change the name. General implies he's leading and this class is more of an improved meatshield. I'm also tempted to say he's overpowered but I haven't played in a dnd campaign in a while and your class could very well fit in with your campaign. Anyway good luck with it. :)

Yeah I think he's overpowered too but i gave him all the abilities to give players a broad spectrum of abilities to improve, deprove or erase. I don't know what to call him yet though... The reason I choose The General is...

Player One: Hey I'm Playing the new Marshall class it's so awesome.
Player Two: OH YEAH I'm playing a General!
Player One: Oh really what are the auras you took.
Player Two: ???What's an Aura???
Player One: You know you boss your guys around and they get bonuses.
Player Two: Um,,, him I don't do that.
Player One: Well then what can you do?
Player Two: I can Kill enemies and have a rock solid defense.
Player One: Wow that sounds better than what I CAN DO!!!
Player Two: That's why your a Marshall and I'm The General
"owwww" player one says as he dropes out of the room
