Warlord Class v1.1.0 - Update! (Patreon)

Hey all, back with an update to my take on the ever-popular Warlord class!

The Warlord is a martial (non-magic) support class that relies on their strategic use of Orders and other abilities to lead their allies to victory! I had a lot of fun creating this class, so I hope you like it. As always, I’m open to constructive criticism and feedback!

Change Log (1.0.0 - 1.1.0)

The major theme of this revision was to move away from the Warlord’s over-reliance on their Charisma (it is still important, but not the MOST important). The main way I did this was removing all mentions of Charisma from the Orders you get at 1st level. I’ve also reworked Cunning Insights, a few of the Fighting Styles, and added a new feature (Stately Presence) at 14th level to replace the (lazy) extra Ability Score Increase.
