The College of Command is a Bard subclass targeted at those who'd like to lead their allies into battle. Though not awful combatants in their own right, those of the College of Command work best with their allies by their side. They bark orders, manoeuvre allies around the battlefield, and generally act to lead their friends to ultimate victory. This is another one based on homebrew by LaserLlama.
I worry a bit sometimes about taking on too many projects at once, but this one ended up being one of those subclasses that, while I hadn't really intended on porting initially, ended up being incidentally solved as I worked on other projects. So while I always like feedback, it's especially welcome here, as it might end up informing some of my later releases. It's not possible for me to be fully faithful with this one, so the exact ways a few features work are a little different, usually by necessity; this might affect the balance and I might make some adjustments.
No requirements, but should work with the Compatibility Framework if you have it. Since I've done a few of these now and there's a few other ones by other modders, I put together a list of ported LaserLlama stuff, if that's something you're interested in.

I sent LaserLlama a DM about porting their free content, and got the reponse that it was alright so long as I provided credit and a link. You can see more of LL's content on their Reddit, GM Binder or Patreon.

Features
- Level 3: You have proficiency with medium armour, shields and martial weapons lacking the Two-Handed property. Additionally, you can expend your Bardic Inspiration to use the following Inspiring Orders as an action:
- Attack Order: You grant an ally an extra attack during their turn.
- Defensive Order: You grant an ally a bonus to their AC equal to a roll of your Bardic Inspiration. This lasts until your next turn.
- Manoeuvring Order: You grant an ally extra movement speed and immunity to Opportunity Attacks.
- Steadfast Order: Your ally adds your Bardic Inspiration to Strength, Dexterity or Constitution checks and saves until the start of your next turn.
- Support Order: Your ally immediately Hides, adding your Bardic Inspiration to their Stealth check.
- Level 6: When you issue an Order, you can make a weapon attack or cast a Bard cantrip as a bonus action. Additionally, you have advantage against being Frightened.
- Level 14: You can issue an Order without expending a Bardic Inspiration, using a d6 in place of the die. When you do expend an Inspiration on an Order, the target gains 6 temporary hitpoints.
