Warlord Class Beta

This is an adaptation of Kibbles' Warlord to Baldur's Gate 3, covering levels 1-12. It's not fully functional, and not much thought has been given to making changes for BG3 balance, but if you wanted to mess around and give me some early feedback you can. I don't yet recommend using this for a full playthrough. Included subclasses are the Commander, Dancer, Noble, Paragon and Tactician; the Spellweaver and Chieftain are partially implemented but lack certain levels and features.

I've had to make some changes when translating the tabletop mechanics to BG3, so feedback on how those feel is particularly welcome. In particular, abilities that would usually give an ally a reaction have had to be adjusted, and some on-initiative abilities are now just once-per-battle features. As I get more confident about the mod's general stability, I'll start taking a closer look at how the subclasses feel and if they need any balance adjustments.

Empty levels for 13-20 are included, so you can theoretically take the class to 20 or run the mod with levels unlocked, but these levels do not have any features. To make it function with Extra Attack, Battlefield Presence needlessly rolls an Attack Roll. Don't worry about it; whether you hit or miss the effect is the same.

What is a Warlord?

Collapsing to the ground, a man succumbs to wounds, exhaustion, and the overwhelming clash of steel all around. Death closes in, then a hand appears, pulling him up: "On your feet, soldier."

In short, Warlords are a martial support class. They come in many forms, from backline tacticians to frontline leaders of men, but what unites them is the ways they enable and spur on their allies. They can be decent combatants in their own right, but play things well and they might just win a battle without

ever lifting a sword.

Battlefield Presence allows them to grant allies extra attacks in place of their own, while their Leadership Dice can be spent performing various supporting moves, such as:

• []Rallying Mark: Give allies extra damage and some hitpoints when they attack a Marked foe.

  []Urgent Orders: Grant allies extra movement and a free Disengage.

  []Expose Weakness: Grant advantage to the next attack on an enemy.

  []Helpful Word: Perform the Help action from afar.

  You can only use a certain number of Leadership Dice per turn, however. This number increases as you level up, as does your total number of Leadership Dice.

  • []Chieftain: An intimidating presence, the Chieftain mixes their commands with their own relentless attacks, keeping a foe ever on guard. Uses Strength/Dexterity and Charisma.

    Only partially implemented.

  []Commander: The Commander wades into the th
