Missed that thought yes... one could have initiative buffs in passive category for some other effect too...

I think Battlemaster was a great name if it was actually better designed for the job, there is a thread on here where several of us go back and forth with ideas for expanding on both the core fighter and battlemaster to better enable the archetype yes eating other subclasses like the pdk may...

It has a fairly long fantasy precedent for Heroes including ones whose adventures were not always masses of people. The first uses of the word Warlord I heard was I think either John Carter Warlord of Mars or maybe The DC comic book hero called Warlord who visited the center of the earth. Xena...

OK I get it yes the Warlord generally speaking preserves autonomy better than a caster... For instance actually a fragile or wounded ranged character taking the charge opportunity the Warlord presents to the entire party is possibly not overly bright idea (however they might be the final chip...

Pointing out openings you might be dumb as a stump to ignore. Of course you can refuse a Clerics heal spell too I suppose.

Exactliy...Exactly....

The Paladin was a type of fighter originally and arguably the 2e Warrior included Warrior Lords/Paladins/Rangers.

Would you be building Aragorn as a Paladin? hmmmmm

As for names the historic William le' Marshal convinced me the name Marshal could be damn badass

A subclass which has "Kings Magic" - King's Magic is the kind of magic where true oaths can bring back the dead and your magic item only responds to those of your blood and oaths of allegience create brotherhoods whose unity grants them power. It might involve fated companions and is often...

4e put a lot of those tier choices in Themes/Paragon Paths/Epic Destinies. And it was not very class dependent not surprisingly. They could have put more... like having a Fated Wielder where the powers were magic item or items but it definitely fits the paradigm. It's about the player having a...

The ultimate freedom... the ability to rely on your ability to "sosh" the DM

La Destreza the more I read about it the more I was convinced it was fighter not rogue at all (... La Verdadera Destreza - the Spanish School of Fencing - La Verdadera Destreza Some of the features was being able to lunge without skewering yourself on your enemies weapon LOL At that time...
