Confident Defense: A gladiator can add his charisma modifier to AC as a dodge bonus while wearing light or no armor, to a maximum amount equal to his class levels. In order to gain this benefit, the gladiator must be fighting within 60 feet of three or more conscious allies whom he has line of effect to. He can also gain this benefit when fighting in front of a crowd or audience if the audience has a status of “Friendly” or better with him (see Diplomacy skill). Improving this status is a use of Perform (Weapon Drill) as normal, in addition to any other conditional effects the DM allows.

Battle Leader's Charge (strike) through 3rd level gladiator

Maneuver Recovery: "The Marshal exerts his influence in battle to refresh his mind of spent maneuvers. A Marshal can recover maneuvers on any round he makes an Intimidate or Diplomacy check for any reason by also expending a swift action. A Marshal cannot use any maneuver on his turn that round if he does so, and the Diplomacy or Intimidate check has to be made during his turn, not out of turn via a reaction ability."

Communicate Weakness: As a standard action, make a Diplomacy check against one foe within your line of sight, with a the DC of the check equal to that foe's AC. If you succeed, all allies within 60 ft gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls against this foe until the start of your next turn.

Looks mostly ok, just some minor stuff.

First, I recommend making a separate list for class features after feats. Call it "class," for example. It makes things less confusing. Like...I assume you took Leading the Attack as a feat, and then got BLC at Gladiator 3 as a class feature, but it's nice to clarify.

You should put "Communicate Weakness" in your class features list, since it's going to be a unique ability for your Gladiator. At the bottom of your sheet, paste the description of it:

Communicate Weakness: As a standard action, make a Diplomacy check against one foe within your line of sight, with a the DC of the check equal to that foe's AC. If you succeed, all allies within 60 ft gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls against this foe until the start of your next turn.

Also at the bottom of your sheet, you should paste in how your maneuver recovery works:

Maneuver Recovery: "You exert your influence in battle to refresh your mind of spent maneuvers. A Tactician variant Gladiator can recover maneuvers on any round he makes an Intimidate or Diplomacy check for any reason by also expending a swift action. A Gladiator with this variant cannot use any maneuver on his turn that round if he does so, and the Diplomacy or Intimidate check has to be made during his turn, not out of turn via a reaction ability."

Other things.... Like i said in IM, bow with a heavy shield won't work too well, you only get one readied maneuver, and my character's going to be a Silent Image whore, if you want other things more, he can cover that spell. if you still want it, more images never hurt... I was thinking maybe you should take ghost sound to give my images sound and we could work together. If you're willing to drop a level 1 spell known, ventriloquism's great, too.

Just remembered another GREAT bard 1 spell, Inspirational Boost. It adds +1 to your inspire courage, but I think the casting time is a swift action (ie, you couldn't benefit from Song of the White Raven if you wanted to cast it).

Approved, in case you weren't sure.
