    D&D 5E (2014) I don't actually get the opposition for the warlord... or rather the opposition to the concept.

    It happens in the same way that a coach sees things their players don't - even though their players are far better at what they do than the coach is, or probably ever was. It happens in the same way that snipers, when possible, prefer to use spotters. Two sets of eyes are better than one. Two...

    D&D 5E (2014) Purple Dragon Knight = Warlord?

    Okay, I'm significantly confused by this. Healing Potions can be considered "mundane" HP recovery, based on herbalism, but inspirational HP recovery breaks the bounds of reason? In other words - using the same parlance that's been previously employed - "shouting wounds closed" is unacceptable...

    Intelligence Warlord with a focus on Healing, damage mitigation and action enabling

    Fighting Style is a part of the standard Fighter, though they get this at 1st Level rather than 2nd. Fighting Style does have a bit of a precedent as part of the Warlord, with the 4E version having the standard sword and board build and an archer build. A Warlord getting this feature at 2nd...

    Intelligence Warlord with a focus on Healing, damage mitigation and action enabling

    Nope, not a one. Nothing you have there is overpowered; if anything they're probably underpowered. Nothing to worry about there. It will definitely not break the game.:)

    Intelligence Warlord with a focus on Healing, damage mitigation and action enabling

    I'm not saying Psikerlord's Warlord is my cup of tea, but I'm curious as to where you got this idea from? If you look at the breakdown below, you'll see that only spellcasting classes have dead levels; no purely martial class has any dead levels (Barbarian, Fighter, Monk, Rogue). That's the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlord Name Poll

    Looks like this thread/poll has run its course. The clear favorite appears to be: Warlord! Here's the final chart, including ideas proposed within posts (the Other option). I left out some results for the sake of keeping it an usable size, eliminating the clearly joke-ideas (including my...

    D&D 5E (2014) My fighter-subclass warlord

    Well said, Mellored. I'd like to expound on this though - and on other questions that have been raised in this thread - for the reading audience.;) The label Lazylord simply highlights that the character isn't "physically" active in combat most of the time. They are however, always "mentally"...

    D&D 5E (2014) Training and Downtime

    250 days seems like a lot to me, especially when some adventurers can learn a language in a matter of days or a few weeks by simply listening...;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnnREr8BV24 P.S.: So many people think Antonio Banderas has an exotic sounding name; though when anglicized, it's...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does magical armour change size to fit the wearer.

    The DMG says: "In most cases, a magic item that's meant to be worn can fit a creature regardless of size or build. Many magic garments are made to be easily adjustable, or they magically adjust themselves to the wearer." "Rare exceptions exist. If the story suggests a good reason for an item...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlord Name Poll

    Actually, it's not that new. I saw it mentioned a few times in the old threads I dug up prepping for this thread. Some of them went back to 2009. It didn't get a whole lot of traction, but it did get a few mentions.

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlord Name Poll

    I always saw Heralds as just a spokesperson - a mouthpiece - someone who only participates or influences behind the scenes, but is mostly just a spokesperson and messenger. Besides, Herald was an AD&D 2E Bard Kit. One of my favorites, btw. I have an awesome Rakasta Herald character. Kind of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlord Name Poll

    I had some time to kill while watching the Lions-Chiefs game this morning (they're playing in London). Since I'm a Lions fan, and they're currently getting slaughtered 31-3, I figured I'd distract myself by making an updated poll chart with all of the "Other" submissions from people's posts...

    D&D 5E (2014) Warlord Name Poll

    Adalid is cool. It basically means Captain, right? I do love the extra narrative content that the name brings with it. However, I see it more as a title than a class name. Honestly, for any Warlord character, I see people not actually calling them Warlord. It won't be "Hey, Warlord...", it...

    I absolutely hated the name Warlord...until this. You've swayed me quite a bit in its favor. And you're right, strictly by definition, even feudal lords were Warlords. Central authority was a very tenuous and variable thing in feudal Europe. Honestly, with Warlord actually a fairly modern...
