[QUOTE="Lylandra, post: 8066045, member: 6816692"] I really see the "leader type" / charismatic fighter dabbling into bard territory and I don't think that this is a bad idea. They both fall into the niche of being inspirational, but where the bard uses magic and song and artistry, the leader fighter uses rhetoric, deeds and presence. In previous editions, this could have been a problem, but the 5e bard is so much a spellcaster that it doesn't hurt the class to have one competitor in that field. Just some random thoughts: [LIST] [*]Maybe make the fighter grant inspiration? [*]let the fighter have some means of giving advantage to other party members (in and out of combat) [*]some stuff with intimidation. Death stare. Command. [*]grant action surges [*]Diplomacy. Something with respect. Don't know... but fighter types tend to be the "leaders" of their teams, especially if there is no paladin available [/LIST] Fighters in general: [LIST] [*]Some sort of Lucky feat, called "too awesome to fail" which they can use on skills and saves [*]Don't know id this fits, but "feat of legend" - make one called nat20 / day. Maybe useable on skills only. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
