Because my game was distinctly lacking in frontline fighters and one of the players was interested, I decided to develop this class to satisfy him.
At it's core the Warlord is Fighter 2/HD 1/Thief 1 with the Thief powers, missile damage bonus and unrestricted weapon traded out. It's a pretty flavourful class focused around being a leader of (hench)men and not breaking in the face of danger.
Hope you enjoy!
