| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Trinity has, many times in its history, known war. And though the presence of powerful individuals often tips the scales of balance, the actions of those select groups are often made possible by the actions of armies, whose purpose in this world is not to be the primary force, but the secondary: an alternative should those with significant personal power fail in their endeavors.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In the course of warfare as it is known in Trinity, tactics and stratagems were slow to come to the fore, progress made in fits and spurts by individuals who saw opportunity in taking command of troops in mass combat. Those strategies, it was later found, were equally applicable to those small elite forces: warlords became known as ''force multipliers'', whether on the field of battle or in the depths of dungeons, whether they commanded a thousand men or directed the actions of a select few.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Warlords forgo the specialization in equipment that most other combat-oriented classes acquire; instead, they specialize on learning how to identify openings, how to direct others, and how to improve morale. Warlords learn the basics of weapons and armor, and are able to hold their own against most others, but their martial training falls short of those more focused on taking direct action themselves. Thus, while it is not uncommon for warlords to lead the charge, most take on a support role, leading from the rear and giving direction without getting directly involved themselves.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There are many styles of leadership, and different warlords take advantage of different schools of thought. Exposure to new strategies and different sorts of engagements encourages budding warlords to study other tactics, as well, giving them increasing versatility on the battlefield.

| − | Warlords are warriors, and as such make use of ''maneuvers'', specific attacks or other abilities attained through rigorous training.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To use maneuvers, warlords must expend ''gambits'', which they gain by making ''strategy checks'' to analyze the current tactical situation. Devising a ''strategy'' requires 1 round, and the warlord must make a ''strategy check'', which is equal to d20 + her strategy bonus + the highest of her Perception, Intelligence, and Bravery modifiers; you make this roll as you declare your intent to devise a strategy, and if the result is not to your liking, you can cease the attempt and expend only a move action. If the result is at least a 15, you have come up with at least part of a plan, and gain ''gambits'' according to the table below.

| − | Maneuvers are almost universally completely physical in nature and have no Force components; they are expressions of the mortal body pushed to its limits. Maneuvers are divided into ''schools'', which represent particular thoughts and approaches to combat, training, and martial abilities. The minimum primary ability needed to use a maneuver is indicated on the table to the right.

| − | You can use any maneuver you know, of any grade you have access to, and for which you have at least one ''gambit''; you have analyzed the tactical situation enough to recognize a few different openings. You must expend a ''gambit'' to use a maneuver of that grade or lower; expending a ''gambit'' is part of the initiation time of a maneuver. If you gain a ''gambit'' for a maneuver grade you cannot access, you cannot use maneuvers of that grade, but can still use that ''gambit'' for any lower grade.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you have ''gambits'' remaining from a previous ''strategy'', any ''strategize'' attempt you make suffers a -2 penalty for each ''gambit'' you have remaining. Even if such a second ''strategy'' is successful, you can have no more than three ''gambits'' for a given maneuver grade at any one time, and no more than six ''gambits'' in total (if a ''strategy'' would bring you over six after the limit of three per grade, you lose ''gambits'' from highest grade to lowest).

| − | You can willingly lose any ''gambits'' you have as a free action on your turn.

| − | The warlord begins with four known maneuvers. She gains knowledge of additional maneuvers each level, as per the class table, above. At fourth level and every four levels after, she can trade out up to two maneuvers for new maneuvers from any school she can access, of any grade she can access.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you would gain access to a school, you can choose to instead gain a bonus feat, which must be a feat for which you qualify. If you would gain access to a school and already have access to three schools, you gain a bonus feat instead.
