[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7372284, member: 37579"] But that's [I][B]never[/B][/I] going to happen. To date, WotC has formally released zero new classes in their books. You might as well speculate when WotC is going to give away Tesla cars with their books. In the 3 1/2 years of 4e, they've done two test classes, the artificer and the mystic (after first attempting the artificer as a wizard subclass). But the mystic was last updated a year ago, with a prior attempt in February 2016. And the artificer was last updated in January of 2017. The earliest they could see print would be November of this year, but if they were trying for that book we'd see another test of the class. So don't expect them before April 2019, if not later. That will be 2-3 years of testing for a new class. If, through a combination of begging, bribery, fellatio, and extortion the warlord fans here convinced Mike Mearls to greenlight a warlord class with the first playtest article in April, we'd still be looking at 2021 before the class could see print. Possibly later. Because making stuff takes time, and they don't seem to have the free hours to really devote to that content. After all, they've known the Beastmaster Ranger was problematic pretty much since launch and they still haven't managed to "fix" that. So if they were going to do such a class, they'd already have started work on it and Mearls wouldn't be doing the podcast to give fans the design skeleton to work with. There's never going to be an official warlord. It's not going to happen. If you [I]really[/I] want one, you're going to have to either make one yourself or work with the community to make one. And if you can't work up the time and energy to make one, then that's a pretty good indication your game can function without one. [/QUOTE]
