They're using totally-renamed spell slots. They're being picked from a list that sounds suspiciously like a spell list. They're functioning like the warlock's spells do. When someone says that they want to make a non-caster using the spell slot system, why shouldn't be people be curious about...

The world of difference being that its fine to mock anyone who thinks it is possible to make a warlord subclass for Fighter and say its impossible. When the convo was about the Fighter subclass in the first place. Talk about twisting words. You've said they're not. But its unclear how...

I only used the word towards one person. And I just had a conversation with them about my own attempt at doing a warlord subclass, where I was flatly told impossible and was going to be either not worth playing or "OP." So, yes, I do see "your side" telling me to shut up and "accept the...

I'm suggesting something similar to banneret, but I don't personally like it as a good starting point. No offense to your idea. Just not a fan of their implementation.

I thought the entire point of the warlord was so that its not magic. And... you've just given them spells but calling them strategies? How are they different? It seems that they're going to scale up like spells? I mean, that's the whole point of the warlock chasis is that their spells...

Stupid tablet erased everything. One minute. The problem I have is this. Its objecting to gatekeepy by being even more gatekeepy. "My way is the only way to Warlock" is bad for all sides. Can we agree to that? I admitted it was selfish - you're not saying anything I didn't admit at the top...

And responses like this are why people object. No, they are Warlord equivalents. You might not like the mechanics. You can say that you don't like the mechanics and want a newer version that appeals to you. That's valid. Being all gatekeepy and denying that its a warlord for the people who...

Just an aside but... not all of the Fighter's class power is hardwired into high damage attack. They have Extra Attack, okay, and one Fighting Style; But the rest? Action Surge does not automatically equate Attack Action. Same with second wind. Indomitable is not about damage, its about...

I was under the impression that minigiant wants zero extra attacks. Plus, I was being kinda silly. The truth is that I've ... well, I had my own subclasses for fighter that included a warlord that I liked. Now, however, I'm kinda just waiting for 1d&D to be published, because I have a few...

The warlord was designed to attack to, you know. There's a reason its a STR-based class by default. Even if you're using a bow, its a STR based class. The lazy-lord was actually an accident. An exploit. The archetypes were based around using melee (or a bow) and using them alongside other...

There was a demand for the 3e style of Fighter where it was just all feats like expanded critical and enhanced fighting style stuff. Sure, I can agree with that. It did shape the core Fighter. I'm not sure I can agree that its why the Battlemaster fails to provide the warlord fantasy. I think...

Another aside - Mike Mearls doesn't hate the warlord. There might have been some politics going on in the background where people were gently encouraged from including 4e's poster class, and Mearls definitely is part of the "warlord should be part of Fighter" crowd. But its a bit strong to say...

As a side note.... Final Fantasy 14 has a tactician class. Its called the Scholar, which is a "magic" healer class (but all the classes use magic in some way, so its a moot point), but its core set of moves involve things like tactical positioning of shields, bombardment abilities, etc. Its...

I think its because I never see people saying "hey, here's my homebrew <insert class name here>, what y'all think of it?" They're saying "Why hasn't WotC made this yet!?" or "This concept is missing from the game!" So, then you get the people who come in and say, "hey, the concept does exist...

If, by defer, you mean sneak attack into the neck while they're asleep? Then yes, yes I do.
