I've made a Warlord that used Warlock-style stuff, but now I'm liking the Rogue idea more.My favorite unwritten idea though is the one shared by [USER=63508]@Minigiant[/USER] significantly upthread. He poised the idea of basically a grab bag of buffs that can be handed out. If this idea is innovated on, you kind of create a new kind of Warlord spell that isn't explicitly a Maneuver. Essentially, when I explored further on my own, the Orders provide a one-turn (or longer, if Concentration is maintained by the ORDERED creature) unique effect to the creature. This could augment it, be a numerical buff, and even be new traits or actions. I give the Rogue the Sabotage action and they can make a Dexterity Skill check of their choice to not just impose disadvantage on a target, but to make them suffer damage and conditions on a failure. Then, you give the Warlord something like Tactical Operations Dice and you roll these for damage OR spend dice for conditions or other effects. Essentially, you'd have a menu of effects powered by the Sneak Attack/Tactical Operations dice that OTHER characters are tapping into. You assign who each turn by replacing an Attack or using a bonus action.But, I think the Warlock-style you propose is great too! What I like about the Warlord fantasy is that its so cool and engaging that you can really represent it through a lot of different mechanics.</blockquote>
