Greatsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage plus 5 (1d10) necrotic damage. On a critical hit, the warlord can use Sound the Attack.

Sound the Attack. Each skeleton or skeletal horde of CR 7 or less within 30 feet can use its reaction to make an attack.

Arcane Punishment. When the warlord succeeds on a saving throw against a spell cast by a creature within 60 feet that the warlord can see, the warlord attacks the caster with black lightning.
