- DR or ER for allies in aura
- fast healing for allies within aura
- reduce a condition on one ally within the aura per round
- damage bonus to allies within aura
- grant one d20 reroll per round for anyone in aura
Warlord Example Build
(Probably not actually a legal build; needs reviewed; keeping it here in case we get around to building a viable sample build later, so we can steal ideas from this one)
Human, base stats: Str 14, Dex 12, Con 14, int 14, Wis 8, Chr 18.
Example Feats
1st Level: Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Heavy Whip, Combat Expertise. Get a solid weapon, open up some good feats.
3rd Level: Improved Trip. You have a reach tripping weapon. Guess what you should be trying to do.
5th Level: Improved Disarm. Your weapon gives bonuses to disarm, too!
7th Level: Greater Trip. Trip them and hit them, at a distance. So hard not to love this.
9th Level: Improved Reposition. Bad guys in a bad place? Move them!
11th Level: Greater Reposition. Move the baddies and hit them while you're doing it. So awesome.
13th Level: Power Attack. Hit them HARD, man!
15th Level: Fury's fall. Build up some Dex, trip them even better!
17th Level: Fury's snare. Trip them and tie them up, all in one convenient attack. Very nice, this.
19th Level: Furious Focus. Power attack making it hard to trip? Not any more!
