# Warlord - Fighter Variant

With a final blow, a dwarf takes down the monster that stood before him, inspiring a fighting vigor to his comrades and allowing them to keep going. Preparing for a brutal charge, a battle scarred human storms forward alongside the warriors on his side, guiding them to certain victory.

Warlords are in the heart of every great war, often leading vast amounts of troops from the front of the charge. They bring out the best of every fighter on their side, championing them to greatness.

### Commander's Attack
*5th level warlord feature (enhances Extra Attack)*

When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can forgo your second attack to direct a friendly creature within 60 feet of you to strike. On the target's next turn, it can make a weapon attack without using its action. This attack deals additional damage equal to your proficiency bonus.

<!--### Tactical Actions
*2nd level warlord feature (replaces Action Surge)*

With a guiding word, you inspire your fellows to act at the right time.

As a bonus action, you can command a creature within 60 feet of you that can understand you. On the target's next turn it can move an additional 10 feet and take an additional action of your choice. That action can only be the Attack (one weapon attack only), Dash, Disengage, Hide, or Use an Object action. If you command the creature to attack, the attack deals additional damage equal to your Charisma modifier.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. Starting at 17th level, you can use it twice before a rest.

Starting at 5th level, when you take the Attack action on your turn, you can forgo your second attack to command a creature without expending a use of this feature.
-->

<!--### Reckless Charge
*6th level warlord feature (replaces Ability Score Improvement)*

You words spark a fighting vigor in your allies. When you use your Valiant Word or Tactical Actions features as a bonus action, you can grant advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength for this round to all creatures under the effects of either feature, as they strike with a primal ferocity.
-->

<!--### Thoughtless Aggression
*6th level warlord feature (replaces Ability Score Improvement*

When a creature under your command makes their first attack on their turn, they can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives them advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength during this turn, but attack rolls against them have advantage until their next turn.
-->

<!--### Brutal Critical
*6th level warlord feature (replaces Ability Score Improvement)*

You or creatures under your command can roll one additional weapon damage die when determining the extra damage for a critical hit with a melee attack.
-->

<!--### Aggressive Charge

### Incite Tenacity
*9th level warlord feature (enhances Indomitable)*

As a reaction to seeing a creature within 60 feet of you failing a saving throw, you can expend a use of your Indomitable feature and allow it to reroll the saving throw as if it used the feature instead.

### Relentless
*17th level warlord feature*

Not even serious damage can stop you and your legions.
When you would drop to 0 hit points, you can instead choose to drop to 1 hit point. Each time you use this feature beyond the first before you finish a short or long rest, you gain a<br>level of exhaustion.

<!--*9th level warlord feature (replaces Indomitable)*

As a reaction to a creature within 60 feet of you that can understand you failing a saving throw, you can allow it to immediately reroll the saving throw. If it does so, it must use the new roll, and you can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

You can use this feature twice between long rests starting at 13th level and three times between long rests starting at 17th level.-->

<!--### Coordinated Actions
*11th level warlord feature (replaces extra attack)*

The number of creatures you can command at once increases to 3 when you reach 20th level in this class.

<!--
