About this mod
While Warlords are as varied as styles of leadership, they all share one thing in common: a commitment to their decisions. Once a true Warlord decides on a course of action, whether it was their idea or not, they will see the plan through to its end.

Warlords are martial leaders who use their knowledge of tactics and warfare to empower their allies and thwart the plans of their foes. While Warlords are as varied as styles of leadership, they all share one thing in common: a commitment to their decisions. Once a true Warlord decides on a course of action, whether it was their idea or not, they will see the plan through to its end.
This is a BG3 conversion of LaserLlama's 5e Warlord class, which is itself based on D&D's 4e Warlord class. I wanted to add this class to BG3 because it's a martial support class, which I felt BG3 was missing, and LaserLlama's designs are always top-notch. Additionally, the Warlord class fulfills the fantasy of being a leader who empowers your allies, which matches BG3's companion system quite well.
Dependencies
This mod has no required dependencies, but 5eSpells, Mystra's Spells, and Homebrew Spells are all supported for use with the Academy of Gallantry subclass.
Current Content
Currently the mod includes all levels up to level 12, 3 subclasses (Chivalry, Gallantry, and Schemes), and most exploits. The specific exploits are detailed below. Some features have been adjusted or replaced to fit BG3's design. Additional levels, subclasses, and exploits may be added if demand is present.
