Choose your Leadership Style. It determines your Leadership Score, which is the Ability score that fuels your abilities. You gain additional Leadership abilities at Warlord levels 7 and 11.

Strategist

You lead through your cunning tactical insight, and academic knowledge. You gain the following benefits:

• Intelligence is your Leadership Score.

• You gain proficiency in either Arcana or History.

• When you roll initiative, pick a number of willing creatures up to your Intelligence modifier. You can switch the initiative of all creatures selected.

Mentor

You lead through your experience and counsel. You gain the following benefits:

• Wisdom is your Leadership Score.

• You gain proficiency in either Insight or Survival.

• When another creature within 9 meters that can hear you misses an attack or fails an ability check, you can use your reaction to grant it a 1d4 bonus to the roll.

Captain

You lead through your magnetic personality, bravery, and valour. You gain the following benefits:

• Charisma is your Leadership Score.

• You gain proficiency in either Persuasion or Intimidation.

• You gain an additional use of Inspiring Word (see below).

Inspiring Word

Your words encourage others to fight on. You can use a bonus action to shout an Inspiring Word at another creature that can hear you within 9 meters. It regains hit points equal to one roll of its primary class Hit Die + your Leadership modifier. The target does not expend its Hit Dice as part of this ability.

You can use this feature the number of times indicated in the Inspiring Word column on the Warlord table. You regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Weapon Mastery

Your training with weapons allows you to use the mastery properties of two kinds of weapons of your choice with which you have proficiency.

Whenever you level up, you can practice weapon drills and change one of those weapon choices.

Tactical Exploits

Exploit Dice

The Warlord table shows the number of Exploit Dice you have to perform any Tactical Exploits you know. Some Exploits require you to expend these Exploit Dice in order to use them. You can only use one Exploit per attack, ability check, or saving throw. You regain all expended Exploit Dice when you finish a short or long rest.

Your Exploit Dice begin as d4s and increase in size as you gain Warlord levels, as indicated in the Warlord table.

Exploits Known

You know two Tactical Exploits of your choice. The Exploits Known column of the Warlord table shows when you learn more Exploits. To learn an Exploit you must meet any prerequisites it may have, like a minimum Ability Score or a certain Warlord level.

Whenever you gain a Warlord level, you can replace one of the Exploits you know with a Tactical Exploit of your choice.

Saving Throws

If one of your Tactical Exploits requires a creature to make a saving throw, your Exploit save DC is calculated as follows:

Exploit save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Leadership modifier

Warlord Orders

You enhance your allies through coordination using Orders. When you take the Attack action, you can issue an Order in place of an attack, targeting another willing creature that can see or hear you within 9 meters.

When you learn an Exploit, you can learn an Order instead.

Fighting Style

You have honed your fighting skills and gain a Fighting Style feat of your choice. Whenever you gain a Warlord level, you can replace the feat you chose with a different Fighting Style feat. Instead of choosing one of those feats, you can choose the option below.

Tactical Warrior. You learn two Orders of your choice, and they do not count towards your maximum number of Exploits. When you gain a Warlord level, you can replace one of your chosen Orders with a different one you meet the prerequisites for.

Warlord Subclass

You gain a Warlord subclass of your choice. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Warlord levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass's features that are of your Warlord level or lower.

Subclasses Features

Warlord subclasses include a list of Orders and Exploits that all Warlords of that Subclass learn at the levels in its description. These don't count against your total Orders or Exploits Known and can't be replaced when you gain a level. If you do not meet its prerequisites, you learn them regardless.

You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Warlord levels 6, 8, 12, and 16.

The creature immediately re-rolls its saving throw and adds your Leadership modifier (minimum of +1) to its result.

You can use this feature once. You regain one expended use when you finish a Short or Long Rest. You gain an additional use of this feature when you reach Warlord level 13 and 17.
