[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 5841199, member: 12460"] I really have to say that the warlord is one of the most ridiculous concepts for a class that has ever been thought up. It is not the mechanics of the class that bother me. And I am actually very fond of its 3.5 predecessor, the marshal. But the concept of an inspiring character who somehow inspires his allies to heal their wounds (and all similar mechanics relating to such things) is downright silly. The idea that I shout a battle cry and my allies heal is absurd. If the implementation had been such that the warlord only granted temporary hit points, I probably could have gone along with it. But let us be frank here; WotC can call the class role "leader" however much they want, but the warlord is a healer, plain and simple. I can only suspend disbelief so far. Mythology is full of miraculous healing, but it is typically a result of divine intervention or mystical concoctions of magic. As a game based on classical and medieval mythology, there really is no precedent worth mentioning of someone who "encourages" his allies to be healed. Call me old-fashioned, but I like my magic-users in robes, my thieves in the shadows, my fighters in full plate, and my healers in holy tabards and clerical vestments. [/QUOTE]
