The Commander
Returning from Solasta I will be the Commander Subclass! A rare martial class with strong support capabilities, the Commander was one of the fan favourites - and in a game where team coordination is key, it is without surprise that we chose to bring it back.
Gruff Authority gives them more out of combat tools by giving them two skill proficiencies, as well as adding their Strength modifier to all their Intimidation and Persuasion checks. Unsurprisingly their key feature Rousing Shout returns as well, giving them the ability to grant all themselves and all friendly creatures advantage on their next attack by filling them with determination.
Later on when the level cap increases, they will get access to Coordinated Defense which allows them to forgo one of their attacks to grant the benefit of the Dodge Action to an ally. They also unlock an upgrade to their Rousing Shout by making it also grant temporary HP to all affected allies, massively increasing their survivability throughout any fight.
