[QUOTE="Yunru, post: 7365985, member: 6780961"] Since everyone else is talking about the Warlord, here's something entirely different, the Watchman. [B]Watchman[/B] Yellow eyes scanning the horizon, an elf stretches out her hand and warns her friends of an upcoming ambush. Forewarned, they quickly come up with a plan to turn the ambush on the ambushers. Long hair whipping in the wind, a human spreads her arms wide and throws her head back. Roaring out a challenge, she draws all attention to herself, allowing the rogue to sneak behind the enemy. Crouching behind a stalagmite, a halfling points out how best to deal with a charging troglodyte. A quick swing of an ally’s sword spells death for the creature. Some adventurers work their whole lives to become great rulers, but to others, leading is just the beginning of the adventure. The Watchman is a master of manipulating the battlefield, be it through brash challenges or tactical manoeuvring. A Watchman will synergise with any party effectively, enhancing their combat abilities.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or Long Rest before you can use it again. Create Opening Starting at 2nd level, you can occupy your enemies, granting an ally an opening for a brief moment. On Your Turn, an ally of your choice can take one action as a reaction.

Coordinated Attack At 5th level, one ally within 30 feet of you that can see or hear you may make a single weapon attack whenever you take the Attack action. Aura of Awareness Starting at 6th level, as long as you are conscious and capable of communicating, friendly creatures within 10 feet of you may use your Perception modifier in place of their own. Additionally, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you may add their proficiency modifier to Initiative rolls. At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet. Push Through Beginning at 9th level, you can use your reaction to have an ally you can see reroll a saving throw that they failed. They must use the new roll, and you can't use this feature again until you finish a Long Rest. You can use this feature twice between long rests starting at 14th level and three times between long rests starting at 17th level. Aura of Advantage Starting at 10th level, as long as you are conscious and capable of communicating, friendly creatures have advantage on creatures within 10 feet of you. At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet. [/QUOTE]
