I am curious why you think that way Elfcrusher. I have been playing D and D since 1982, over every edition. In that time I have never played a Druid. I have no interest in the class, it does not do a thing for me. That being said, I know many people really like them and if someone wants to...

I think that would be a very interesting way to go for a 5e Warlord. There is lots of interesting unused design space there.

Warden would be a good name. Also how about Warrior? It is nice and generic. From latin we also get strategus or pugnator. Marshal could also work.

Great response Aldarc. That sums up why I, and I believe a lot of people, want to play a warlord. To have that tactical presence on the battefield. Elfcrusher, what sort of name would be acceptable to you? Can you give an example?

In a post on the old D and D forum, wrecan identified 5 different types of warlords. I have quoted them below. Which of these is already covered by 5th edition and which would you like to see as subclasses in a Warlord class, if and when it comes out? Practitioner The warlord who is most...

Jester David, that is exactly the type of reasoned, thoughtful analysis I was looking for in this thread. We all love D and D despite our different favorite editions. I like your emphasis on tactics and strategy as personally that is why I would want to play a Warlord type character, but I...

For Subclasses, again quoting Wrecan I see the following: Practitioner The warlord who is most concerned with maintaining and boosting his allies and keeping them in the fight. This warlord specializes in martial healing, granting temporary hit points, resistance to damage, and ending...

Xeviat, starting with a Warlock Chassis is a very interesting idea. I think that would be a great place to start.

According to wrecan, one of the experts on Warlords, a warlord in 5e needs the following: 1: Grant advantage to the next attack made by an ally (and the Warlord also attacks). 2: Give an ally a bonus "free" attack with extra damage. 3: Grant bonuses (or advantage) to initiative checks. 4...

Probably to late for this edition, but a base gish class would be good. Subclasses could be Edritch Knight, Bladesinger etc. I would also love a Warlord type class.

I think an Eldritch Knight who focuses on Illusion would be a lot of fun. As an example, see the fight scene in Now You See Me 2. It would take a house rule to change the spell specialization but it could be interesting. Has anyone tried something like this? If so, how did it work.
