2. Deadly Agility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Prior to doing my research, I already knew of this feat and how strong it was. What I didn\u2019t <\/em>know was all that it entailed and that some DMs actually ban the feat entirely due to how overpowered and\/or controversial it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That being said, if your DM allows it, this feat is basically the go-to to be an extremely powerful Warlord. If you don\u2019t know what this feat does, it basically lets you use your Dexterity instead of your Strength for Finesse weapons. Very simple, but a little too effective.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s a matter of do you want to do more damage or get the heck out? The fact that this feat can be used per situation is the best thing about it. The idea of being able to instantly choose which Maneuver you can choose and use is extremely powerful in the hands of a Warlord. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Warlords already have the ability to choose four readied maneuvers, so why not make it five? Of course, the maneuvers take 10 minutes of weapon drills so it should be done outside of battle, but once they are ready for battle, having five readied maneuvers only makes the Warlord\u2019s class feature stronger than it already is.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the Warlord can choose another feat at higher levels, this feat goes really well with Panther\u2019s Claw. With Panther\u2019s Claw, not only will they have multiple unarmed attacks, but the unarmed attacks will also be doing more damage. Just another way that the Warlord can get more damage into an enemy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Great when paired up with Extra Readied Maneuver. You can never have too many maneuvers, in my opinion. It just gives so much versatility and actions <\/a>on your turn which is good regardless of what class you may be in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the Warlord\u2019s case, though, the more things that the Warlord can do, the more it benefits the team. Having this along with the Warlord\u2019s Gambit will practically make the Warlord an unstoppable force of damage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if the Warlord chooses to go for a ranged build, there are a multitude of scenarios in which they will be in the frontlines. In that scenario, why not have some insurance to have it so the Warlord takes less damage while they are there? That way, if the creature gets annoyed with the Warlord\u2019s constant barrage of attacks and\/or actions, the Warlord should be able to tank a few hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Especially if you obtain this item while using the Unarmed feats stated above, this item will be taking out low health monsters with ease and chunking down big monsters significantly more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They may also use the item when pursuing an opportunity attack giving the opportunity to inflict even more damage when it\u2019s not even their turn! Once again, the more damage the Warlord does, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I always find that the more mobility an aggressive character has, the better. It just makes them even more formidable because they are able to get in, attack, then put some range between and the target. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I personally just like the idea of a Warlord having this item since, in most cases, it seems suited to the class and their background. Anyone can wear it since there aren\u2019t any prerequisites to wearing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The way I see it, it can be used as a last-resort item if the Warlord runs out of options or if they just keep encountering tougher and tougher opponents. It also helps that multiple weapons can be created at once if they were attacked more than once for more than one turn.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once again, another <\/em>item that helps out with unarmed attacks since the Warlord should be the one doing a subsequent amount of damage to their enemies, even if it’s with their bare fists. Alternatively, if the Warlord decides to attack with a weapon that does an additional type of damage (ex: radiant damage), it also gives a boost to that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And it stacks! <\/em>So if the Warlord decides to attack with their special magic weapon<\/a>, it gives them a boost, then if they attack again with an unarmed attack, it also gives their unarmed attack a boost. In order to get little damage off with this weapon alone, the Warlord will have to either have really low stats (which most likely will not be the case) or just have extremely bad luck.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n My knowledge of Pathfinder is extremely limited and should be taken with a grain of salt. Most of this information are things that I researched myself. After the research, I have formed an opinion on the matter of what is strong and how to utilize the class to the best of their abilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In most classes, it\u2019s easy to tell which ability scores should be maxed and prioritized. However, with the Warlord, it\u2019s slightly different. The obvious would be Dexterity and Strength should be prioritized to the Warlord\u2019s playstyle (ranged or frontline) unless they have a broken feat or item that nullifies this choice altogether. However, which one should be next? <\/p>\n\n\n\n With frontlines, one would usually think to prioritize Constitution<\/a> so they can take more hits, but Charisma is a very important ability score for Gambits and Initiative. Then, if you decide to use any of the items or feats stated above, the Warlord\u2019s Wisdom modifier can make a huge difference in damage output. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since Warlords can get a little out of every ability score, I would say that the best tactic would probably be to minmax all of the ability scores while semi-prioritizing Dexterity or Strength.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, the Warlord is like a Paladin in which<\/a> they help out their allies in combat, but that doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s their strongest ability nor should it be prioritized. A lot of those aspects kind of come naturally as their class features with no necessary aid from modifiers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As for playstyle, the aid for allies comes as an AOE effect (meaning it’s basically automatic if their team is in the area), so the only thing the Warlord has to prioritize is taking down the target before them. There is no reason the Warlord should be acting as a support character.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if the Warlord maxes out their Constitution (which they shouldn\u2019t be in the first place), they should not be the one taking all the hits for the party. In almost every scenario, they would be the main damage dealer in a typical party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, they can take a few hits and should be in the frontlines, but they are the damage dealers- not the damage soakers. Basically, in terms of formation, the Warlord should be getting in, doing their damage, getting out and having someone else soak up incoming damage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Warlords are, as their name probably hints, ultimately a class who excels in combat. They lead others into battle with fierce determination and offer aid where it is needed. From what I\u2019ve seen, this class is a mixture of the Fighter and Paladin class from 5e.
