[d20r, Class] The Warlord, v3.0

[lesser_minion]

I am really not a fan of action grant mechanics -- they can be OK, but it's unclear exactly what a nonmagical character can do to hand someone a bonus standard action or a bonus move action.

Normally, I'd try to ignore it, but this particular case is also unnecessary -- the entire purpose of the action grant is as a 'Martial Arts and Crafts' ability to make the 'brilliant strategist who can't wipe his own backside' archetype playable as part of a small-scale party.

But why do that?

Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus did not run into cave complexes, kill loads of monsters, and leave laden down with piles of treasure. If they needed a cave complex raided, they'd send in a half-century of auxilia.

There's a place for a martial leader, but that martial leader doesn't have to be a strategist, and he should have actual things to do for himself, not action grants and character jacks.

Caesar, Crassus and Pompey would be "ordinarily NPCs" -- for your PC class, you're trying to make the optio or the centurion who'd lead that half-century of auxilia.
