Level Up (A5E) What would you call a 'Warlord' class? (+)

[Mistwell]

None of the above?


Or how sleep healing and falling damage works.

Yes. Falling damage i can excuse for ease of use, since at least you do take damage from it even if it's not proportional. But a single long rest healing all wounds has always felt silly to me.

Time heals all wounds. They failed to specify how much time though.

How about 'Influencer'?

"I cast #InspiringWords"

Warlords are effective at healing and aren't "God damnit you've shown me the same bloody spotify Twitch ad 5 times in the last half an hour, I just want to watch ESA!"

 

[Morrus]

Looks like Marshal is the favourite.

 

[Tinker-TDC]

I'd think Commander for if it's a charisma class or Tactician if it's an Intelligence class. Banneret is also good but obviously it's like mastermind in that it's already the name of a subclass.

 

[Ashrym]

Steward as in "the Steward of Gondor". The name lacks baggage and by old school definition relates to leading and protecting people and places.

The problem is that if you stick to what the class does, you either make them sound like the guy who should be leading the party or some NPC who's there to buff the real characters.

I think we're stuck with Marshall or Warlord. You basically have to go with something totally generic like Sword Warden, Vanguard, Bladehawk, High Guard, Reeve, Partisan, Legionnaire, or Dragoon. But I don't think any of those are really improvements. Half of them are nonsense, and the other half just mean "fighter" or "soldier".

Vanguard seems good, as a subclass. Sounds like an archetype of the [Place Holder] that leads from the front, and unlocks bonuses from successful attacks.

Commander and Tacticians sould like sublclasses of [the class].
