But at the same token I wonder how it would differ from a Fighter enough to be distinctive, without creating some insanely difficult mechanic to try and justify it.I mean, does anyone see a Warlord functioning differently than a Fighter with an archetype focused around issuing orders and perhaps turning their own Extra Attacks into extra actions for other classes? And, if so, what do you think would make the class inherently varied that would justify a new class? (I wont lie, I don't fully agree that Sorcerer needed it's own class from Wizard in 5th edition mechanically speaking)</blockquote>
