Banneret (2024) (Homebrew)
This is my own take on Banneret using the 2024 rules for Fighter. This post will be deleted if this subclass gets updated to 2024 rules. Changes are described at the end.
From: Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide
A banneret is a knight who inspires greatness in others by committing brave deeds in battle. The mere presence of one in a hamlet is enough to cause some orcs and bandits to seek easier prey. A lone banneret is a skilled warrior, but a banneret leading a band of allies can transform even the most poorly equipped militia into a ferocious war band.
A banneret prefers to lead through deeds, not words. As a banneret spearheads an attack, their actions can awaken reserves of courage and conviction in allies that they never suspected they had.
Level 3 Royal Envoy: Knights of high standing are expected to conduct themselves with grace in anyone’s presence. You learn two languages of your choice and you have proficiency in Persuasion. If you already have this proficiency you have Expertise in it instead and you can choose one other skill to have proficiency in.
Level 3 War Banner: Your waving banner provides your allies an inspiring sight in battle. You have 3 Banner Dice, which are d10s. A Banner Die is expended when you use it. You regain 1 Banner Die when you finish a Short Rest and all expended dice when you finish a Long Rest. You gain an additional Banner Die at level 10 and another at level 15. You can use your Banner Dice in the following ways:
Invigorate. As a Bonus Action you can choose up to three creatures of your choice that can see or hear you within 60 of you. Each creature regains a number of Hit Points equal to a roll of your Banner Die. The number of Hit Points regained increases by 1 extra roll of your Banner Dice at level 10 (2 rolls) and at level 15 (3 rolls).
Instruct. When a creature that can hear or see you within 60 feet of you misses an attack, you can use your Reaction to let it roll a Banner Die and add it to the result, potentially causing the attack to hit instead. If the attack still misses, the Banner Die isn’t expended.
Level 7 Lead by Example: Your actions in combat serve as an example to your allies.
Pinpoint. When you use Instruct and the attack hits, it deals extra damage equal to half of your Fighter level.
Assemble. When you use Instruct, you can choose a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. It can immediately move up to half its Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks.
Level 10 Commander: You make your allies shine by utilizing your combat prowess and experience.
Apprise. When a spell or effect forces up to 3 of your allies to make a saving throw, you can expend a Banner Die to let each creature roll a d10 and add it to its save.
Single Out. Whenever you attack a creature, you can expend a Banner Die and choose one ally that can hear or see you within 60 feet of you. It can use its Reaction to make one attack against your target.
Level 15 Flanking Position: When you attack a creature and you don't have Disadvantage on the attack, all creatures that can hear or see you within 60 feet of you have Advantage on their first attack against it before the start of your next turn.
Level 18 Warlord: Your commanding presence reaches its peak.
Rally. When you use Assemble you can choose up to three creatures that can move with you.
Expose. When you use Single Out you can expend a second Banner Die to turn the attack of your ally into a Critical Hit.
Royal Envoy now gives two languages and Expertise in Persuasion
Apart from Royal Envoy all features are new, using a dice pool called Banner Dice. These can be used for different features that aid your allies.
