[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 7982897"] As a Warlord-hater, I have to say I like this approach, and fluff, a LOT more than just about any Warlord I've seen. For example, I balked at the wording of the "Master Instructor" section, until I realized it only applies to skills where you have expertise, and the target has no proficiency. That works. (On the other hand, maybe just call it a "Consultant" and leave "Expert" out of it.) I read quickly, but my gut feel is that you've given it too many abilities too soon, and it might be OP. Hard to know for sure, since it's not just a straight DPR comparison. But it feels to me (having done this myself) like you made a list of all the abilities you thought the class you have, and then it felt like they were all absolutely essential to the concept, so you mashed them all into the first few levels. An AC of 10 + Int + Prof. bonus is probably too much, especially since they get the rough equivalent of Defensive Duelist for free. I'd go with the other models...Monk and Barbarian...and make it 10 + Int + Dex. Then if they really want to add Prof. bonus as a reaction there's an app...I mean feat...for that. It would help to tighten up the language so that it reads like official 5e. Check out the SRD style guide. [/QUOTE]
