Otherwise you have class features to grant your allies extra attacks and actions, or to help them succeed at their actions.The nice thing about this is that you can actually import the fighter subclasses on top of this. The subclasses are additive, and everything they give synergizes nicely with the base class.Warlord/Champion --> AjaxWarlord/Battlemaster --> UlyssesWarlord/Eldritch Knight --> having trouble thinking of an exampleIt's a little funky for the Warlord/Battlemaster to have two kinds of dice, but no big deal.</blockquote>
