In my work to switch everything to short rest MP recovery, I found the full casters MP divided by 3 scaled very similarly to 2 mp per level, so the Monk's 1 ki per level makes it a half caster (it also fits with the four element's spell levels for the most part).I don't want the base warlord to have extra attack, but it should be making its own attack and granting an attack-value bonus to someone else on an action at fifth level.The more stand up fighter subclass can get extra attack at 6th level as a separate action so they can choose between being competent on their own (toned down from not having Fighting Style) or boosting allies.I think there should be four starting Subclasses:Int focused - tactical warlord, geared more for lead from the rear but with choices of manuevers so one can build a true Lazylord or a more martial tactician. Focuses mostly on attack granting and improving attacks.Cha focused - inspiring warlord, geared more for leading from the front but could be from the rear. Focuses more on healing/temp hp and defense improvement and overcoming conditions, inspires you to fight on.Wis focused - observant warlord, geared more for "controlling" the enemy by predicting their actions. Would be doing a bit of the attack improvement from tactical and defense improvement from inspiring, but through debuffs on the opponent.Martial focused - bravura or other style in your face lead from the front type, fighter-light. Heavier armor, extra attack, leads by example. Probably leans charisma, but I think it deserves to be separate.</blockquote>
