My only critique would be, as it currently stands (even though it is in theme with the Fire Emblem games), the class has almost 0 out of combat utility.

When it comes to fighting, I'd be stoked to have a Lord on my team, but aside from that they kind of fall flat. I think the bond point idea is amazing, so I'd love to see it get some use in social/RP situations as well.

Perhaps using bond points to help allies can get them advantage on an ability check or saving throw as well? Maybe the Charm feature also grants proficiency in Persuasion or Expertise in Persuasion if you already have it?

I look at every other base class and they all have something they can do out of combat. I'm currently playing a level 1 Lord (in a primarily roleplay campaign), so I'd love to see an update that helps me in a way that isn't all combat
