[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 9364488, member: 87792"] I'm going to disagree in large part here and say that if they were to actually try (they haven't) the tier 1 and 2 5e fighter, with a little work, could be about as good a replacement for the warlord as it is for the 4e fighter. The first thing you need to do, of course, is to take the fighting style and turn it warlord-y so the warlord is able to consistently warlord and can be outfought by the fighter. I'm not sure whether you want: [LIST] [*]Fighting Style: Direct the Strike [*]Fighting Style: Inspiring Word (bonus action 2/short rest, the target can spend a hit die and adds your proficiency modifier to the hp recovered) [/LIST] You then need a Tactical and an Inspiring subclass. And a Bravura subclass that if you make Inspiring Word your fighting style doesn't have to take it; a bravura fighter works just fine. Of course this is Minimum Viable Product stuff. And still far further than 5e has gone. You could just call them Defender, Leader, Striker, and Controller? Agreed [/QUOTE]
