The Warlord

Battle is more for you than just the clash of steel or the glory of individual triumph.
You are more than a warrior; you are a leader, a champion of your team who's
always looking out for the group. Whether your leadership skills come from a
lifetime in the eld, formal training in a military academy, or sheer natural charisma,
you're able to keep your team together and make the most of their talents.

Leadership Styles
You have cultivated a particular battle eld presence,
sculpting it into a persona that o ers a steady
guiding hand to your allies. You might lead through
daring example, cunning tactical acumen, or sharply
honed guerilla maneuvers. Each leadership style
begins with a simple battle cry and develops into a
core part of your presence on the battle eld, o ering
bene ts to your allies just for being near you. In
many ways, your leadership style de nes you as a
warlord.
Each leadership style lists some abilities that you gain
at 1st level, and then speci es the bene ts you gain
from your warlord class features as you gain levels.
No one can gain bene ts from any of these features if
you are unconscious.
Bravura Style
You engage in daring stunts, aggressive tactics, and
risky maneuvers that pay o …or end disastrously.
You're always willing to expose yourself to harm if it
means getting the tactical edge or keeping an ally
safe, and your ghters see this and are willing to take
their own risks to reciprocate. You are trained in
Intimidation, and you can choose Charisma as your
key ability score.
BATTLE CRY
Your battle cry is a ringing shout that draws all eyes
to you, focusing your enemies' wrath and inspiring
your companions. When you roll initiative, you can
choose to become at-footed until the start of your
second turn to grant all allies who can see and hear
you a +1 status bonus to attack rolls until the end of
their rst turns.
COMMANDING PRESENCE (7TH LEVEL)
Seeing you wounded only spurs your team to greater
heights. As long as you have fewer than your
maximum hit points, allies within 15' of you who
can see or hear you gain a +1 status bonus to your
saving throws and Will DC against fear e ects.
LEADER'S CRY (13TH LEVEL)
You leap into the fray when battle is joined. When
you use your battle cry, you become quickened
during your rst turn. You can use the extra action
only to Stride or Strike.
EXTRAORDINARY PRESENCE (17TH LEVEL)
Your allies stand steadfast, knowing that you're
willing to bleed for them. Your Commanding
Presence a ects any allies within 30' of you who can
see or hear you. The bonus it grants to saving throws
against fear e ects increases to +2, and it grants a +1
status bonus to all other Will saving throws.
Insightful Style
You guard your allies' anks, whether near or far,
and warn them of impending danger. Concerned
primarily with keeping your team safe, you likely
also serve as either primary or backup medic. You
are trained in the Medicine skill, and can choose
Wisdom as your key ability score.
BATTLE CRY
Your battle cry is a warning shout, alerting an ally to
the peril you're all in. When you roll initiative, one
ally of your choice gains a +1 status bonus to saves
and AC until the end of their rst turn. You can
select the ally after initiative is rolled, but must select
them before the rst combat round.
COMMANDING PRESENCE (7TH LEVEL)
Your sharp eyes and watchful instincts keep all of
your allies on their toes, and the care you take to
help each other has produced solid teamwork. You
and all allies within 15 feet of you who can see or
hear you gain a +1 status bonus to Perception checks
to Seek and Sense Motive, and to any checks used to
Aid an ally.
LEADER'S CRY (13TH LEVEL)
Your allies' re exes have become honed to your
voice, so that they instinctively look for shelter when
you call a warning. When you use your battle cry,
the ally you designate can Stride and then Take
Cover as a free action.
EXTRAORDINARY PRESENCE (17TH LEVEL)
Your wariness has left your allies prepared for attack
from any quarter. Your Commanding Presence a ects
all allies who can see or hear you within 30 feet, and
a ected allies take only a -1 penalty to AC for being
at-footed, rather than the usual -2.
Inspiring Style
You urge your allies to keep ghting even when the
odds seem stacked against them, and rally them in
the face of adversity. You're both a team player and
a cheerleader for your companions, likely making
sure that everyone is getting along well even when
there are disagreements. You're trained in
Diplomacy, and you can choose Charisma as your
key ability score.
BATTLE CRY
Your battle cry is an earnest, righteous call to arms
that inspires your companions. When you roll
initiative, all allies who can hear your battle cry gain
temporary hit points equal to 1/2 your level plus
your Charisma modi er (minimum 1 temporary hit
point). These temporary hit points last for 1 minute.
COMMANDING PRESENCE (7TH LEVEL)
Your gure on the battle eld lls your companions
with unswerving devotion to your shared cause. You
and all allies within 15 feet who can see or hear you
gain a +1 status bonus to saving throws against
enchantment e ects.
LEADER'S CRY (13TH LEVEL)
Your battle cry hardens your allies' resolve, and they
easily weather the rst blows of combat. As long as
an ally retains the temporary hit points granted by
your battle cry, they also gain a +1 status bonus to
Fortitude and Will saving throws.
EXTRAORDINARY PERSENCE (17TH LEVEL)
Your allies are so devoted to your joint cause that
they shrug o attempts to sway them from it. Your
Commanding Presence a ects all allies within 30
feet, and when a ected allies roll a critical failure on
a saving throw against an enchantment e ect, they
get a failure instead.
Skirmishing Style
You keep your team mobile, helping to coordinate
their movements and control the ow of battle. You
favor guerilla tactics and the exibility of having
both ranged and melee weaponry. You are trained in
the Stealth skill, and can choose Dexterity as your
key ability score.
BATTLE CRY
With a shout or a hissed word, you spur an ally to
dart into a better position at the opening of combat.
When you roll initiative, you can choose one ally
within 30 feet of you. That ally can Stride up to half
their speed as a free action before the rst turn
begins.
COMMANDING PRESENCE (7TH LEVEL)
Your nimbleness on the eld of battle inspires others
with a similar sense of haste. Your Speed
permanently increases by 5 feet. Allies who begin
their turn within 15 feet of you who can see or hear
you gain a 5-foot status bonus to their speeds until
the end of their turn.
LEADER'S CRY (13TH LEVEL)
When combat breaks out, your word sends your
whole team darting into new positions in a practiced
maneuver. When you use your Battle Cry, all allies
within 30 feet of you can Stride up to half their
speed.
EXTRAORDINARY PRESENCE (17TH LEVEL)
Your allies are so light of foot that they y across the
battle eld. Your Commanding Presence a ects allies
who can see or hear you who begin their turns
within 30 feet of you. All allies who can see or hear
you and are within 30 feet of you can Step into non-
magical di cult terrain, and ignore up to 10 feet of
such terrain during their movement each turn.
Tactical Style
Thoughtful and educated, you're constantly looking
for better positioning on the battle eld and guiding
your allies' strikes to the most valuable targets. You
are trained in the Society skill, and can choose
Intelligence as your key ability score.
BATTLE CRY
Your tactical acumen allows you to see danger
coming a split second before it arrives. When you
roll initiative, you and all allies within 10' of you
gain a +1 status bonus on your initiative checks.
COMMANDING PRESENCE (7TH LEVEL)
Your steady hand in the battle eld helps make every
opportunity count; even those that seem lost. When
an ally who can see or hear you and is within 15 feet
of you misses with a Strike, that ally gains a +1
circumstance bonus to their next attack roll on that
turn.
LEADER'S CRY (13TH LEVEL)
When battle begins, your allies leap into the fray
with a watchful eye for enemies. Your battle cry
a ects you and all allies within 20 feet of you, and
when you use it, you can choose a number of allies
(including yourself) equal to your Intelligence
modi er (min. 1). Those allies can Seek as a free
action before the rst combat turn.
EXTRAORDINARY PRESENCE (17TH LEVEL)
Your allies constantly maneuver for better
positioning. Your Commanding Presence a ects all
allies within 30 feet, and the rst time an allly
a ected by your Commanding Presence misses with
an attack roll on their turn they can Step as a free
action.

CHOOSE YOUR GROUND FEAT 4
AUDITORY CONCENTRATE EXPLORATION SECRET VISUAL
You gain the Choose Your Ground exploration
activity, in which you carefully study a potential
battle eld, giving your team instructions on where to
position themselves, how to conduct the battle, and
so on. This activity takes 10 minutes to complete; if
you are interrupted for more than a few moments
during your instructions, you must start over. When
you've nished, the GM makes a Warfare Lore check
against a standard DC for your level (the GM may
adjust the DC depending on the circumstances of the
battle eld).
If a combat breaks out in the battle eld you surveyed
before your next daily preparations, the GM will
reveal the result of your check, and you immediately
get to select the advantages you gain (if any). You
can only prepare for one battle eld at a time.
Critical Success You gain two battle eld advantages
of your choice.
Success You gain one battle eld advantage of your
choice.
Failure You gain no battle eld advantage.

advantages from the following list.
Ambush: You and your allies gain a +2
circumstance bonus on Stealth checks to Avoid
Notice and roll initiative.

Requirements You are able to move.
Trigger A foe reduces an ally to 0 hit points with a
melee attack, and both are within a distance of
you equal to or less than your movement speed.
Seeing an ally fall under a blow, you streak across the
battle eld to their aid, inspiring them to new heights
of courage. You Stride until you are adjacent to the
triggering ally (this feat does not grant you the
ability to move in ways that you normally can't, or to
exceed your normal movement speed). During this
Stride (which provokes reactions as normal) and until
the end of your next turn, you are at-footed. At the
end of your Stride, make a melee Strike against the
foe that reduced your ally to 0 hit points. If your
Strike hits, you can attempt to Demoralize the foe as
a free action. Whether you hit or miss, your ally
immediately gains 1 hit point (leaving them
conscious, prone, and with their wounded condition
increased, as normal). They also gain temporary hit

With a brusque command, you order your ally to pick
themselves up and carry on. Choose one ally within
30' and make an Intimidation check against a
standard DC for your level. If you are successful, the
ally may immediately heal 9 hit points and make a

Success You can make one evaluation.
Failure You make no evaluations.
Critical Failure You make no evaluations, and are
stupe ed 1 until the beginning of your next turn as
you are overwhelmed by the chaos of battle.
On a success or a critical success, you evaluate the
battle eld by asking the GM one or more of the
following questions, which they will answer honestly.
What here is the biggest threat? This is typically
the enemy of the highest level, but might be a
di erent creature - for example, a minion in the
process of arming a powerful magical weapon.
Which foe here is most vulnerable to ____? You
can ask which foe is most vulnerable to a
particular ally or type of attack. This might
mean, for example, realizing that a foe has a
weakness to energy damage that spells can
deal, or is vulnerable to area damage from
bombs. The answer might be, "None are
particularly more vulnerable."
How can we best triumph quickly? Though not a
guarantee of success, the GM will o er you a
succinct, one-sentence summary of what they
view as the best route forward (i.e. suggesting
weak points in the foe's party). The answer
might be, "Stand down and attempt to parley,"
but only if there is a reasonable chance of that
progressing your goals.
UNBALANCING BLOW FEAT 10
PRESS WARLORD
You deliver a massive follow-up blow, leaving your
enemy vulnerable. Make a melee Strike. It gains the

Critical Success or Success The target must make a
