** Fourth Edition introduced the Warlord, which focused on abilities of this type, in place of the traditional Bard class, which claimed magical buffing among its [[Jack of All Trades|very wide]] portfolio and did not make the core rulebook this time. Aside from Fourth Edition's general design decision to make [[Hit Points]] a matter of morale as much as actual injury (allowing a Warlord to heal allies by shouting at them) and the plot implications of calling the class's role "Leader", Warlord's existence and abilities are actually one of the less controversial additions of a very controversial edition. Even after the Bard returned later on, Warlord's non-magical nature and secondary focus on hitting things allowed the two to remain distinct. |

* The Noble class of ''[[Star Wars]]: Roleplaying Game: Saga Edition'' can gain this kind of ability from its Leadership and Inspiration talent tree. Due to the nature of ''Saga Edition'', it is not required a Noble possess this kind of ability. The Officer [[Prestige Class]] also has this kind of ability and is essentially a less squishy combination of Noble and Soldier. |

* The "Leadership" series of Edges in ''[[Savage Worlds]]'' improve the combat abilities of Extras ("unimportant" characters, including all nameless ones) within 10 yards of the character that holds them. An edge that lets these bonuses apply to everyone, including player characters, is present but requires the character have reached the Seasoned experience level (the first after the starting level of novice) so it can't be obtained by a new character. |
