The Warlord Class v2.0.0 (Massive Update)! (Patreon)

Hey all, as per usual I'm excited to share my latest update with you all. I finally buckled down and read the entirety of Warlord material from 4e, and I gotta say, I can see why people loved this class so much - the concept is awesome!

This 2.0.0 update was my attempt to bring my Warlord closer to what the Warlord was in editions past (ie: just 4e). I've added in a system of "Tactical Exploits" similar to that of my Alternate Fighter - I hope you like it! It allowed me to include some of the cooler Warlord powers from 4e, and some new abilities of my own creation!

I've also included TWO Patron-exclusive subclasses this time around - The Psionic College Battleminds, and the totally not evil College of Dreadlords!

As always, I'm open to any feedback or constructive criticism you may have!
