Standard Bearer

Those who wield charismatic power on the battlefield are usually the ones who lead nations and armies into combat. These combatants enhance their allies and bring detrimental effects to their foes when their group works together.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in two of the following skills of your choice: Persuasion, Intimidation, Deception or Performance. You also gain proficiency in Weaver's Tools.

Banners

At level 3 you've learned how to put your inspirational power into your banners, creating different effects within a certain radius of each banner.

Preparing and Activating Banners: You prepare the list of Banners that are available to you each time you finish a long rest if you have weaver's tools with you. You prepare a number of Banners equal to your Charisma modifier plus your proficiency bonus. To activate a Banner you must use your bonus action and either affix it to a glaive, halberd, lance, pike, quarterstaff or spear, causing the banner to hang from your weapon, you can hold the banner in a free hand, or you can place it within an unoccupied space within 5ft of you. While activated a banner gives off an aura described in its description. The auras last for 1 hour unless stated otherwise. A banners aura does not extend through total cover. You can have a number of banners activated at once equal to your Charisma modifier. but can only have one affixed or held by you at any given time.

Banners are non-magical objects that have an AC of 12 plus your Charisma modifier and a number of hit points equal to 5 times your fighter level. If forced to make an ability check or saving throw, treat all of its ability scores as 10 (+0). A banner is destroyed if it is reduced to 0 hitpoints, if you use a bonus action to destroy it, or if its aura's duration ends.

Saving Throws Some of your banners may require creatures to make a saving throw to resist the banners's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Banner save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.

Inspirational Leader

Starting at 7th level, when you roll initiative and are not surprised, you and each ally within 10ft of you can add your Charisma modifier to their initiative roll.

Unwavering Dedication

Starting at 10th level, you can use your dedication to your allies to help them overcome obstacles. Whenever an creature you can see within one of your banner's auras makes a saving throw or ability check you can add your Charisma modifier to their roll. You may use this ability after you see the dice but before the DM tells you whether it was a success of fail. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and you regain all expended uses on a short and long rest.

Exhilarating Spirit

At 15th level you've learned how to let your allies benefit from your own bodies adrenaline by pure inspirational force, allowing you to use your Second Wind and Action Surge in new ways.

Healing Wind: Your Second Wind feature also adds your Charisma modifier to the amount healed. Additonally, whenever you use your Second Wind feature, you and all allies within your banner's aura regains the same amount of hitpoints.

Adrenaline Rush: Whenever an ally you can see within your banners aura finishes their action, you may expend a use of your Action Surge as a reaction to give them another action. You can use this effect once without expending a use of Action Surge once a long rest.

Unbreakable Zeal

At 18th level you've learned how to provide even better encouragement to your allies. Your banners have resistance to all damage, you can choose to double a banners aura size whenever you activate it, and you gain a special reaction that you can use to allow an ally within 60ft of you to make a melee or ranged weapon attack against an enemy within their range. You can use this reaction once a round without expending your reaction.
