This page is of questionable balance. Reason: The subclass features are quite powerful and while overall they are fine, there exists notable exceptions that are too powerful such as the Wind God, Commander Improvement, and perhaps others. In addition, some of the main class features may need tweaking such as Pair Up which is too powerful to be an always on feature.

Pair Up[edit]
Starting at 1st level, you can fight alongside your allies, forming a cohesive unit. As an action, you can designate a creature as a pair. While the pair is within 5 feet of you, whenever you move, you can cause your pair to move. Doing so costs the pair own movement on its next turn.
In addition, you gain the following benefits:
- Support
You can use your bonus action to take the Help action to help your pair.
- Strike
Whenever you take the Attack action, you can use your bonus action to command your pair within 5 feet to make a melee attack, using its reaction.
- Guard
You can use your bonus action to guard your pair. Until the start of your next turn, any attack made against the guarded creature can be made against you instead, using your reaction, while that creature remains within 5 feet.
Shove[edit]
Also at 1st level, you can use a bonus action to push one willing creature of medium size or lower within 5 feet of you 5 feet back.
