    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    Edited. Deleted comment. This is just going round and round, and going nowhere fast. It's becoming combative, and unnecessary. DEFCON 1 You did nothing wrong. That's all I have to say.

    Now that's making some serious assumptions. Assumptions based on facts not presented or not in existence. I would suggest you actually look at the Warlording the Fighter thread. The links to the specific posts where the rough draft ideas are presented are in the OP of this thread - so you...

    [UPDATED] WotC To Close Forums - Including D&D and M:tG (aka "Welcome New Forum Members to EN World!

    Umbran You recently advised that we shouldn't lobby WotC from here at ENWorld. That we should do so over at the WotC forums. Does this now change that proscription?

    An Army IT project manager? Yes. For a long time the military would have said No, but in the last 20 years or so that has really started to change. They've become much better at teaching leadership, recognizing leadership, and utilizing leadership - regardless of MOS (or AFSC in the Air...

    That was as basic an explanation of synergy as there is. Explaining it better is beyond my capabilities, and IMO beyond anyone's capabilities. However, if somebody can prove me wrong by doing so, I'd appreciate it. Rather than re-post here, there are links in the OP of this thread to what...

    You're right. What you said was "fancy claim", which is essentially the same point. I didn't say it did. All I said is you provided no logical basis for your statement. "Because I said so" is not a logical basis.

    If this is the way you see things, could you explain to me your thoughts on Synergy? What are your thoughts on Leadership? To me (and by definition), Synergy is the idea that when people work together, they can be greater than the sum of their parts. Or do you disagree with that? Do you...

    What else is a coach other than a Lazylord?

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    So, we're back to changing the definition and mechanics of how Hit Points work; or at least using a different definition or view of Hit Points, within the Warlord's mechanics, than the game itself uses. Why? Why bend and twist the concept inside the Warlord class, when Inspirational Hit Point...

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    Yes. That's what Leadership provides; or more specifically, that's what Good Leadership provides. He didn't, which is why they can do everything they can do without one. The presence of a Leader just makes them better. He doesn't, same as the coach of a team isn't necessarily a better...

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    To be honest, I don't like the name Warlord either. I prefer one of the above names also, but even they aren't truly accurate in describing the class. Marshal is usually a very specific title. Commander or Captain are good, except they don't describe a character like a Bard/Warlord...

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    You're probably right. I usually try to use Hit Point Recovery, and especially did so in the features I wrote up in the Warlording the Fighter thread, but Warlord Healing gets used so much I find myself using it without even thinking about it. Damned power of suggestion!!!;)

    Logic is Logic, whether part of a formal debate or mere conversation. It's not misplaced in any context - excepting Pythonesque humor.;) However, since ENWorld is the very definition of a discourse_community, I'd say that beyond the fact that logic is not misplaced in any context, it's most...

    Am I just supposed to take your word that my reasoning is illogical? (Which by-the-way is a False Authority logical fallacy...) How is it illogical? Why is it illogical? I gave a basis for my statement about TrippyHippy's comment. That basis was from Aristotle's rhetorical model. What's...

    Are you saying this would be something only presented in a Warlord feature? Including something like your above conditions in the text of a Warlord's "Inspirational Recovery" ability? If so, there's still a significant problem, and the reason why I said "it mostly makes sense" in my last...

    One, the Warlord cannot be forced back into the game. If it does get included, it will be because the designers chose to. Second, if one would quite playing a game they enjoy, because of inclusion in the game of something they can simply ignore, then they have a problem much bigger than...
