1 fighter subclass - Captain
2 creature Stat blocks for an NPC Captain and his Sworn Ally
Rules for convincing enemies to swap sides.
This subclass is intended for use with the fighter class as presented in the 5e core rules or in conjunction with the options in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything.
We’ve been thinking about sidekicks, hirelings and the earlier edition fighter’s higher-level propensity to gain minions. With there being no official social pillar fighter for 5e 2014, surely there is design space for a charismatic leader style fighter, the kind of warrior people look up to?
So we built one that we call the captain, an archetypal charismatic leader who can bring along a trusty sergeant or two, attempt to persuade enemies to turn a blind eye, or even to turn their coats.
