What's in *your* wallet? If you have to slice "inspired" down to such an artificially narrow definition, such that it loses its actual meaning, maybe that's saying something...

We're still waiting for one that isn't completely broken and/or a player agency crushing nightmare. When will yours be ready for review?

For conciseness sake, I'll stick to this one, similar, example. You contend the above, and to a larger extent I agree. But whether or not your PC does indeed complain or not, is entirely up to you and through character development and roleplaying. However, when a warlord has an ability that...

Intent. Your buddy Tony Vargas usually has a lot to say about "intent" and how it doesn't always live up to the hype. Doesn't matter what the intent was, I'm sure he would say, but what actually transpired. You can post the cherry-picked fluff all you want. But the rest of the class fluff...

Yep. And 5e already accommodates both. Though having a feat can invalidate the need for a superfluous class. And *I* suggest you go though your 4e book and appreciate what is there for what it is and quit trying to shoehorn stuff from it into a new system it was never intended to fit in. Then...

Disagree. Anyone with the acolyte background can be a priest (they even get church powers and considerations even a cleric would not necessarily have - unless they also chose to be an acolyte... many often do). Wizards aren't the only arcane casters. Not even close. Heck, in our last campaign...

When it's convenient for you, sure. Are you saying you haven't brought up previous editions or something? That would be an awfully foolish thing to claim, dontchathink? Given the written evidence all over this, and other, threads here. I don't. Because I also think anyone can assume a role of...

A typical D&D party is not comprised of hierarchical command structures designed to enforce and illicit subordination. Rather, they are generally a group of peers sharing a common goal, often friendships. To say an individual in that group singles themselves out to be a leader, nearly...

No. But they can cast a spell to do it. That's an odd assertion, given that inspiring leaders have been played in D&D for decades before marshals and warlords ever popped into existence. More likely, you got a horse because you already have a cart.

Says "lead" right in it. You unfamiliar with that word?

That's just begging for admiration. The warlord's abilities decided that his character would be inspired for whatever reason.

Are you sure? Don't you mean, "if the paladin chooses to take that spell they can perform that effect"? Otherwise it sounds like you are implying that all paladins can use a bonus action to "shout"* hit points onto someone. (*not how the spell works, but your words none-the-less. And still not...

Agreed. And there's a feat for it already that handles that concept. Problem solved. Prove it. Show me one. That's all you need do. Show me the inspirational warlord that does not tread in that arena.

Spells aren't class features. Only access to them is. And they are not, by definition, non-magical inspiration. You failed on two counts to meet the criteria you yourself set out. This is not the 5e way. Although there is a previous edition or two that may better suit your particular...

Hyperbole, my friend. I never stated any rear-kissing was required. Not verbal accolades. Only that warlord inspirational class features generally state that the effect is a result of the recipients respecting, admiring and/or looking up to the warlord as a leader and/or their inspiration. Can...

As soon as you show me where it says MLK was a warlord. And again, your strawmen are weak. I've never stated there should be no inspiration, nor that it does not exist.

Then why have all the warlord class features, tied to inspiration or leadership, say otherwise? Points for hogwash though. :)

...by stating so in every warlord inspirational class feature you, or anyone else, has presented. That's how. Care to take another crack at presenting an inspirational leader class that avoids this pitfall? I don't see that class feature anywhere. You are making things up now. And even if...

And yet for months you've been asked to present an inspiring warlord build that does not tread in that arena. Where is it? You and your cadre of warlordists have repeatedly tried and failed. Why you think that is?

But how does doing so force another PC to look up to said paladin? But how does doing so force another PC to look up to said paladin? But how does doing so force another PC to look up to said paladin? But how does doing so force another PC to look up to said paladin? Are you sure they can do...
