Fearless: the Warlord and all allies within a 15 ft circle of him gain +4 to checks versus fear effects.

:challenge:The warlord can shout across the battlefield to a worthy opponent (within 2 HD of the warlord, or a greater HD) merely by shouting "You!" to his opponent. The warlord rolls an intimidate check, opposed by the foe's will save. If the save fails, the foe accepts the challenge for a one on one duel with the warlord. Warlords cannot refuse such a challenge or they will lose their warlord abilities for the rest of the day.

War song: The Warlord can began shouting a frightening song, which allies may join in. at second level, the warlord receives +1 to attack and damage, at fourth level, this increases to +2, at sixth +3, at eighth +4, and at tenth +5. All allies who can hear the war song can join in, gaining half the modifier the warlord does (minimum +1). The warlord can only start a war song on his turn, and can only start it once per turn. The warlord can add this bonus to his intimidate skill.

Front Line Fighter: Whenever the Warlord has an ally behind or beside him who is wielding a similar weapon (melee with melee, ranged with ranged) the Warlord gains an additional +1 to attack and damage.

Aura of Power:When raging, the Warlord inspires his allies to bite through pain, whenever raging and singing a war song, the Warlord adds damage reduction 2/-. All allies who join in on the war song when the warlord is raging gains damage reduction 1/-.

battle runner: The war lord can run through crowds, on the battlefield or off at full speed without provoking attacks of oppurtunity (must be charging-running-attacking to not provoke attacks)

Dangerous Will: the Warlord may use his fortitude bonus to will saves instead of his will save modifier

Frightful prescence: The warlord not only now inspires courage into his allies but fear into his foes. When the warlord begins a war song he can roll an intimidate check.

if the foe has a higher HD then the warlord and succeeds, nothing happens. If he fails, he treated as shaken for the rest of the encounter.

if the for is the same or less than the HD of the warlord and succeeds, he is treated as shaken. If he fails, he is treated as frightened.

If foe is less than half the warlords HD and succeeds, he is treated as frightened If he fails, he is treated as panicked


when the warlord uses his intimidating strike feat, he may roll an intimidate again.

personaly i always saw a warlord as someone who stands out and is very effective on his own in combat, hence "war lord".

the war lord WILL be effective solo in combat, but even MORESO when with allies


im thinking of giving them some sort of rage (stacks with barb) and perhaps a special mount, but im not sure...

any IDEAS?

well i would have made it as litteraly a solo combat specialist, one who could be unmatched by others, for team work i have nothing, for solo there is lots anyone could think of.

chris stfu in a WAR the warlord is going to have people WITH him, he'll be no use to these people if he cant make them fight harder, you may as well just be a fighter.

Personaly I don't like how you build the warlord. I don't like the dangerous will, I find its slightly over powered. Since you're making him almost invulnerable to spells with D/C's also the stand tall thing might be a little over powered since its ALL allies it should be limited and the radious dropped. and I slightly agree with Chris on the warlords are usualy a lone fighter. but I saw the warlord more of a "colonel" rather then some one who fights with the team. I would see the warlord with minions who go into the battle with him following his orders. but the class idea itself is good. Ijust don't think the name suits it.

i dont care if you think the name suits it or not.

stand tall is probably going to be limited to once per encounter, three times per day or so.

the dangerous will thing was derived from something that already existed in DnD, so its not overpowered.
