	The '''Warlord''' is a [[Dungeons & Dragons]] character class introduced to the game in [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition]]. Appearing in the first Player's Handbook, it was a flagship for the new design style of character classes in 4e, which in many ways makes it amongst the most [[skub]]tastic class of an already [[skub]]by edition. Although the exact name first appeared in 4e (and the mechanics are so full of 4e-isms that its inseparable) the class was based on the [[Marshal]] class that appeared in the 3.5 ''Miniatures Handbook''.

	Though they share a name, the Warlords found in [[Pathfinder]] are a completely different class compared to the one above, the most obvious being that this one is directly tied into the [[Weeaboo Fightan Magic\|Path of War]] system that 3PP Publisher DreamScarred Press ported over from 3.X. The extent to which this Warlord is a leader is tied to one particular discipline as well as teamwork feats, which can only be shared with allies after level 3. This class also has absolutely no healing power.

	Warlords, as mentioned above, are pretty much the most controversial class in 4e, because they were brand new. Their fans absolutely adore them for the flavor they bring and because they were the first ever real attempt at a fully non-magic healer/buffer class. Others mocked them, and often were mocked in turn because their arguments tended to be repetitive ("how does it heal without magic? what if my PC doesn't ''want'' to take orders from anybody?") and usually pretty easy to shoot down.

	Where the Warlord excels as a Leader is in its tactical boosting. The Warlord specializes in handing out initiative bonuses, extra moves and extra attacks to the rest of the party like candy. A popular theoretical build, affectionately nicknamed "the Lazylord", actually has no direct attacking powers whatsoever; all of its powers revolve around maneuvering the rest of the party to counter threats. Hence the saying "'''A [[barbarian]] hits you with his axe; a warlord hits you with his [[barbarian]].''''"		Where the Warlord excels as a Leader is in its tactical boosting.

Hence the saying "'''A [[barbarian]] hits you with his axe; a warlord hits you with his [[barbarian]].''''"

	Although this is directly handled by the various Warlord exploits (special attacks), it's also influenced by the class features. Keymost to these is the Commanding Presence feature, which gives a different bonus to allies who spend an action point within its area of effect: a Bravura Presence gives them increased attack options, an Insightful Presence grants a defense boost, an Inspiring Presence grants free healing, a Resourceful Presence grants either a damage buff or free healing depending on the situation, a Skirmishing Presence lets them take a free move, and a Tactical Presence grants increased attack.		Although this is directly handled by the various Warlord exploits (special attacks), it's also influenced by the class features. Keymost to these is the Commanding Presence feature, which gives a different bonus to allies who spend an action point within its area of effect: a Bravura Presence gives them increased attack options with penalties for failure, an Insightful Presence grants a defense boost, an Inspiring Presence grants free healing, a Resourceful Presence grants either a damage buff or free healing depending on the situation, a Skirmishing Presence lets them take a free move, and a Tactical Presence grants increased attack. The other feature, Combat Leader, gives your party a much-needed bonus to Initiative, which can help a striker or controller throw out their best stuff first, while its alternatives give either bonuses to scouting (Canny Leader) or give proficiency with shields and the ability to move one ally quickly before the fight even begins (Battlefront Leader).

	The Warlord isn't good for players who want to be "The Hero", but then, the Leader role as a whole doesn't fit that goal very well. No, the Warlord is for players who want to be useful to the team as the whole. The player who has the most fun with the Warlord is generally somebody who likes the idea of not only getting to play a flavorful character, but also to help the team as a whole succeed.

	The first big mechanic this class has besides the maneuvers are ''Gambits'', which are various risky tricks that the Warlord can attempt (with a very minor luck bonus) to not only recover any expended maneuvers, but also for a certain other benefit associated with the gambit. Failing lets them recover a maneuver as well, but it also penalizes them hard with a -2 on all rolls for a turn. Their next big thing is ''Tactical Presence'', a set of auras that spread benefits to allies within a set range. At level 11, two of these can be stacked together and used simultaneously, while 15 ups this to three.
