[QUOTE="MostlyHarmless42, post: 7841340, member: 6845520"] My solution to the PDK was to bump all of their abilities down a tier. I gave both rallying cry and royal envoy at 3rd, inspiring surge (the weapon attack one) at 7th, bulwark at 10th, and a new ability at 15th: the leadership ability taken from hobgoblin captains/warlords. Leadership: Beginning at 15th level, you can utter a special command or warning whenever a nonhostile creature that you can see within 30 ft. of you makes an attack roll or a saving throw. The creature can add a d4 to its roll provided it can hear and understand you. A creature can benefit from only one Leadership die at a time. This effect lasts up to 1 minute, and ends if you are incapacitated. Once you use this ability you must finish a short or long rest in order to use it again. It's effectively a free use of bless with an unlimited amount of targets once per short rest. Feels appropriate for a leader sort of character, and more importantly gets the access to the actual fun abilities of the archetype: rallying cry and inspiring surge a bit faster. The archetype as is isn't [I]that[/I] weak, but could use a slight bump, and doesnt really come together until 10th level and up...the point where many games end. [/QUOTE]
