Warlord

Agrias, iconic warlord

"Heed my words, and know victory!"

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.

Game Rule Information

Warlords have the following game statistics.

Force Alignment: None.

Force Resistances: None.

Abilities: Intelligence and Charisma are most important for warlords, though some who lead from the front of the fight may also want to focus on Strength and Constitution.

Hit Die: d8.

Class Skills: The warlord's class skills are Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Handle Animal (Cha), Initiative (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Martial Lore (Int), Presence (Cha), Reason (Int), Ride (Dex), Sense Motive (Wis), Spot (Per), Swim (Str), and Vitality (Con).

Favored By: None.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the warlord.

Proficiencies

A warlord is proficient with all simple weapons, a number of martial weapons equal to 3 + her Intelligence modifier, and light and medium armor. She is proficient with bucklers and light shields, but not heavy shields or tower shields.

Presence

Warlords come from a variety of different backgrounds, with diverse schools of thought regarding battlefield tactics. Often these differing styles have a very strong impact on how a given warlord approaches combat, especially in how they comport themselves on the field of battle: thus, these are referred to as presences.

Each presence has a number of effects: you automatically learn a 1st-level warlord maneuver, which can be readied additional times; you gain a presence ability modifier, which is used for some of your maneuvers; you gain bonus class skills; and may have effects on some maneuvers.

Warlord Presences
Presence	Ability	Class Skills	Description	Base Maneuver
Bravura	Str	Analysis (Int), Initiative (Dex)	You lead through a combination of daring attacks and aggressive tactics.	inevitable wave
Insightful	Per	Balance (Dex), Tumble (Dex)	You lead through careful observation and a knack for predicting your enemies' actions.	brash assault
Inspiring	Cha	Disguise (Cha), Perform (Cha)	You lead by exhortation, encouragement, and inspiration.	inspiring word
Resourceful	Con	Balance (Dex), Sleight of Hand (Dex)	You adapt to the mistakes and openings your enemies provide and endeavor to create opportunities.	opening shove
Skirmishing	Dex	Autohypnosis (Con), Vitality (Con)	You help allies by sharpening their timing, directing their maneuvers, and pointing out targets.	paint the bullseye
Tactical	Int	Diplomacy (Cha), Sense Motive (Wis)	Your leadership takes the form of quick commands, cunning strategies, and tactical superiority.	wolf pack tactics

When you ready your presence's base maneuver, you can place it an additional time on your strategy wheel (see below); at 10th level, you can place it two additional times (for a total of three). If you have multiple presences, this applies to all of your presences' base maneuvers.

At higher levels, you may have the opportunity to learn new presences; if you do, all their effects stack.

Your presence impacts your access to maneuvers: your presence ability score must be at least 10 + maneuver level in order to use a maneuver. If you have multiple presences, you can use any of your presence ability scores.

Maneuvers

A warlord is an initiator, and gains maneuvers as she progresses in her knowledge of the ways of war. Her initiator level is equal to her class level.

Warlords have access to a number of maneuver subtypes that are not used by other initiators, namely [Command] and [Tactic] maneuvers. These new descriptors are described below.

Unlike other initiators, who primarily focus on their own movements, warlords are concerned with the battlefield as a whole: themselves, their allies, and their foes. As such, warlords are trained to keep a keen eye, watching for any and all opportunities to put their knowledge to use. To represent this, warlord maneuvers are somewhat more random than other initiators - you cannot control the flow of battle, only react to it, and not all tactics will be usable all the time.

When you ready your maneuvers, you must build a strategy wheel, numbered 1 through 6. You assign your readied maneuvers as you see fit to each number on the wheel; in addition, your presence (see above) may impact your strategy wheel. If a maneuver you have readied is of a maneuver level lower than your highest maneuver level you can access, you can assign it to additional numbers on the wheel equal to the difference. A given maneuver cannot be assigned to the same number more than once.

At the beginning of your turn, all of your maneuvers become expended, and you roll a strategy die, which is 1d6. You recover all the maneuvers on your strategy wheel associated with the result.

Maneuvers of the Tactic and Command types are exceptions to this rule; these maneuvers do not go on the strategy wheel, are always available to you if readied, and cannot be expended.

Born Leader (Ex): The warlord adds her Command Bonus (see below) to all Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Sense Motive checks.

Command Bonus (Ex): Many of the warlord's abilities involve the granting of bonuses to other individuals through her understanding of tactics and strategy. As the warlord gains levels, her understanding of battle improves, and she can provide greater bonuses.

Her Command Bonus at first level is +2, and increases by +2 for every five warlord levels.

Some maneuvers call upon your Command Bonus for bonuses, while other maneuvers can temporarily modify your Command Bonus.

Inspiring Word (Ex): At 2nd level, the warlord has learned how to inspire her allies, allowing them to continue fighting even when fatigue and wounds would prevent them from doing so.

As a move action, the warlord can target a single creature within 60 feet that can see and hear her; the warlord must be able to communicate with the creature. The target can spend a healing surge; if the target does, the warlord heals the target for 1d6 + her Command Bonus + her Charisma modifier hit points.

If the target cannot spend a healing surge, or chooses not to do so, the warlord instead grants temporary hit points to the target equal to her Command Bonus + her Charisma modifier.

Commander's Strike (Ex): At 3rd level, the warlord has learned how to spot openings in their foe's defenses, and how to quickly point these out to their allies.

As a standard action, the warlord can target a single creature within 60 feet that can see and hear her; the warlord must be able to communicate with the creature. The target can make a single attack, at its highest attack bonus, against any creature that it could normally attack; if the target does, the target deals bonus damage equal to the warlord's Command Bonus.

Always Prepared (Ex): At 4th level, the warlord adds her Command Bonus to her Initiative checks and checks made to avoid surprise.

Leadership (Ex): At 6th level, the warlord learns how to integrate new tactics into how those under her command function. This ability grants a number of bonuses.

First, the warlord gains a teamwork feat as a bonus feat (she must meet the prerequisites for this feat to select it).

As a standard action, the warlord and allies within 30 feet of her can share teamwork feats that they possess with each other, acting as if they all possessed the teamwork feat that they are sharing. The warlord can only share one teamwork feat at a time, either one of her own, or that one of her allies has access to, chosen at the time when she first activates this ability.

The warlord and allies retain the use of this feat so long as the warlord maintains it; doing so is a swift action. If the warlord becomes unconscious or otherwise unable to direct her allies, they lose the benefit of this ability.

Tactical Assistance (Ex): At 8th level, the warlord's gift for helping his allies in combat improves. The character may use the aid another action for any single ally within 30 feet of her position as a move action, and she grants her Command Bonus, rather than the normal bonus for aid another.

Warlord Talent: At 10th level, every two levels thereafter, the warlord's knowledge of the arts of war improves. Choose one of the abilities below.

Daring Defense (Ex): Bold and reckless, you use your endless nerve to avoid dangers. The warlord may add her Charisma modifier in addition to her Dexterity modifier to determine her Reflex save bonus.
- Evasion (Ex): The warlord gains evasion. (Prerequisites: Daring Defense)
Force of Personality (Ex): Where others use personal serenity, awareness of the world around them, or plain old sensibility, the warlord gets by with endless nerve. The warlord may add her Charisma modifier in addition to her Wisdom modifier to determine her Will save bonus.
- Mettle (Ex): The warlord gains mettle. (Prerequisites: Force of Personality)
Improved Inspiring Word (Ex): When you use inspiring word, you heal the target for 2d6 + double your Command Bonus + your Charisma modifier, or grant temporary hit points equal to double your Command Bonus + your Charisma modifier.
- Greater Inspiring Word (Ex): When you use inspiring word, you heal the target for 3d6 + triple your Command Bonus + your Charisma modifier, or grant temporary hit points equal to triple your Command Bonus + your Charisma modifier. (Prerequisites: Improved Inspiring Word)
  - Supreme Inspiring Word (Ex): When you use inspiring word, you heal the target for 4d6 + quadruple your Command Bonus + your Charisma modifier, or grant temporary hit points equal to quadruple your Command Bonus + your Charisma modifier. (Prerequisites: Improved Inspiring Word, Greater Inspiring Word)
Improved Leadership (Ex): You can activate your leadership ability as a move action.
- Expanded Leadership (Ex): When you use leadership, you can share an additional teamwork feat. If you share more than one teamwork feat, the action to activate leadership is a standard action. You can take this talent multiple times; its effect stacks. (Prerequisites: Improved Leadership)
Tactical Mind (Ex): You can maintain an additional [Tactic] maneuver with the same swift action. You can take this talent multiple times; its effect stacks.
Talented Commander (Ex): You can initiate a [Tactic] maneuver as a move action, rather than as a standard action.
- Masterful Commander (Ex): You can initiate a [Tactic] maneuver as a swift action, rather than a move action. (Prerequisites: Talented Commander)
  - Supreme Commander (Ex): You can initiate a [Tactic] maneuver as an immediate action, rather than a swift action. (Prerequisites: Talented Commander, Masterful Commander)
Feat: A warlord may take a bonus feat in place of a warlord talent.

Design Notes

There is a little overlap between the warlord's maneuver list and the einhander's list, thus far. Not a lot, but enough to be... intriguing.

I imagine that, at some point, we may wind up also grabbing a maneuver or two off the defender's list: probably vigilance, maybe a couple other things that are specifically about allies.

Regarding new maneuver types... commands are basically boosts you use on other people, and tactics are basically stances that affect all your allies. Keeping up a stance isn't an action, but for warlords, keeping up a tactic is a swift action: they have to continue to evaluate the situation and update the battle plan, even if the overall strategy remains the same.

BRASH ASSAULT

Action: Standard
Range: Weapon
Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous
Your bold lunge leaves you open to an enemy’s counterattack, but that’s just what you want.

The target can make a melee basic attack against you as a free action and gains a +2 bonus on the attack roll. If the target makes this attack, an ally of your choice within 30 feet of the target can make a basic attack against the target as a free action and gains your Command Bonus as a bonus on the attack roll.
INSIGHTFUL PRESENCE
If the target of this maneuver chooses to attack you, an adjacent ally of your choice gains an insight bonus to AC equal to your Command Bonus until the start of your next turn.

COMMANDER'S STRIKE

If you hit, your weapon deals potency 1 damage, and choose an ally adjacent to you or to the target. The ally gains an insight bonus to the next attack roll and damage roll that he or she makes against the target before the end of his or her next turn. The insight bonus equals your Command Bonus.

INEVITABLE WAVE
Level: War 1
Action: Standard
Range: Weapon
Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous
You and your allies charge a foe with the relentless power of the incoming tide.
Make a melee attack against the target.
If you hit, you deal normal damage, and any ally who charges the target deals extra damage equal to your Command Bonus.
Special: When you charge, you can use this maneuver instead of a basic attack.
BRAVURA PRESENCE
When an ally charges the target of this maneuver, before that ally makes an attack roll, they can choose to take advantage of this feature. If they do and the attack hits, the ally can either make another basic melee attack against the target of this maneuver or move up to their speed as a free action; if they do and the attack misses, that ally is flat-footed until the start of their next turn.

INSPIRING WORD
Level: War 1 [Healing]
Action: Standard
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous

INTUITIVE STRIKE
Level: War 1
Action: Standard

Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous
You knock your foe off-balance while shouting a quick command to an ally.
Make a melee attack against the target; this attack is resolved against Reflex.

That ally either shifts up to 5 feet per point of your Command Bonus, or makes a melee basic attack against the target. (A shift is movement that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.)

 Regarding new maneuver types... commands are basically boosts you use on other people, and tactics are basically stances that affect all your allies. Keeping up a stance isn't an action, but for warlords, keeping up a tactic is a swift action: they have to continue to evaluate the situation and update the battle plan, even if the overall strategy remains the same.
