Maybe the PHB will have one, I'm not sure. Although I didn't ever play 4E, I thought the concept of the warlord was pretty interesting. In trying to translate to (admittedly my very basic understanding of) 5E, it seemed like it would be hard to retain the flavor of all that pushing around the grid and the use of at-will powers, etc. So instead I focused on what 5E does have: advantage and disadvantage, while hopefully retaining some of the flavor of healing in the form of temp hp and one case of movement enhancement. I'm sure I butchered how I wrote the skill checks and contested skill checks, but I think the underlying idea should come through.Also I should mention that I was heavily influenced by Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Warlord series of novels and its main protagonist, Uhtred of Bebbanburg. So if something seems like "where the heck did that come from?" it's probably something that Uhtred does a lot in the book series.Anyway just thought I'd throw it out here in case anyone found it passingly interesting.</blockquote>
