Banneret (Fighter)

Subclass Progression

Level 3: Banneret

Rally Fellow Heroes with Inspiring Leadership

Bannerets are paragons of valor and leadership who protect the innocent and rally fellow adventurers to the causes of justice and freedom. Many are knights serving in Cormyr, the Silver Marches, Damara, Chessenta, or other lands across Faerûn. They wander the realms as knights errant, taking the fight against evil beyond their kingdom's borders.

A Banneret relies on judgment, bravery, and fidelity to the code of chivalry to guide them in defeating evildoers. A lone Banneret is a skilled warrior, but when leading a band of allies one of these warriors can transform even a poorly equipped militia into a ferocious war band.

Group Recovery

When you use your Second Wind to regain Hit Points, you can choose a number of allies within a 30-foot Emanation [Area of Effect] originating from yourself, up to a number of allies equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one).
