[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7377634, member: 6716779"] I know the origin of the cleric but you have things like Thulsa Doom or even Jesus as several D&D come fro m the bible. 2E did associate irate clerics with the knights templar that's not a bad example. Aloof D&D isms also go back to the classical world as well. It's not exact of course with Druids being an example but for most classes you can find examples and read the phb. The warlord was outright gambit though and any association with Caesar, Napoleon etc is tenuous at best where the fighter matches up reasonably well especially with TSR. What we beleive here is mostly irrelevant. It's the new players who will associate classes with fantasy and historic figures and a Warlord is a hard set there especially with that name. The other D&Disms have filtered into online games and pop culture. If you did not play 4E most people won't even know what a warlord is conceptually. That's the main point. [/QUOTE]
