Also, if the Warlord gets abilities like the Battlemaster gets abilities, there's only going to be a handful anyone will want to get and then the rest will be just filler for higher levels.
You're going to need to do the work of finding unique things as examples as otherwise this is going to be chasing goal posts and definitions.I just compare the existing classes and subclasses. I'm not talking about universal things like the spellcasting system. Outside of legacy abilities like Evasion, or specific Group abilities like Expertise, it's rarely done. How many subclasses have the same abilities?
I wasn't trying to be silly, I was giving an earnest suggestion. I have no idea how to respond to what you just said outside of that.Rogue should just be a fighter that uses its extra attacks to fuel sneak attacks and dodging, then.
Making the warlord just a fighter theme dramatically narrows what the warlord can be and how it can work.I wasn't trying to be silly, I was giving an earnest suggestion. I have no idea how to respond to what you just said outside of that.
I don't think it should be just a fighter theme, I think it should be part of the core identity of the fighter.Making the warlord just a fighter theme dramatically narrows what the warlord can be and how it can work.
The only reason the warlord wasn’t just as good at healing was that, on release, they had to give each class a focus within their role in order to avoid a thousand powers per class per book.Why was it arbitrary, given Clerics were known for healing?
There's no need to combine them. They don't automatically overlap. A warlord could be a crummy fighter with good ideas.I don't think it should be just a fighter theme, I think it should be part of the core identity of the fighter.
I think the Fighter doesn't make any sense right now. Its just a dude who fights well. Isn't a barbarian a dude who fights well? Yeah yeah, Rage flavor, whatever.
Fighter should have everything it does now + everything a Warlord can do. Then, IMO, that would be a class that's equal to a caster while being a martial.
Sure they can.I'm talking about the niche protection of the specific abilities themselves. If a Warlord class gets 40 unique abilities to a main class and subsequent subclasses, the Fighter and Paladin can't get any of them.
