True. I should have said "has usages that don't imply authority." Such uses existed in pre-Republic Rome (Senators) and in medieval times as an office that meant "Representative" or "Counsellor" more than "Governor."

It's an ENWorld thing...:)

Out of curiosity, what made you think 50? Do you have 49 alt accounts that all received mentions?:p

It's actually about 290 people, and cbwjm has it correct.:cool:

I didn't think of that at all - don't know how I missed it. Probably because I dismissed noble titles right from the start - didn't even consider them. It sounds good though. However, it does have a predominantly military and noble connotation, despite it also being a magisterial title of...

Things have been a little tense throughout the Warlord threads, so maybe it’s time for a less contentious topic and one we can have a little fun with: the name of the Warlord class. This is a Warlord thread topic that hasn’t had its own treatment for a while, and there have been a lot of...

You have accurately summed up my stance on Warlord Leadership. I believe you have accurately summed up Aldarc's opinion also, or at least that's what I got from his posts when I read them. I think that removing any mention or implication of Leadership is an appeasement to those that don't like...

"Execute Order 68," Palpatine cackled. "Bring me all the finest muffins and bagels in the land Universe." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ffs3w_IFQE

I won't ignore a desire for a fresh start. If you will clarify your position without the previous insults, I will read and respond. If I find it insulting, I will not.

That's not the what the Warlord says. The Warlord says "I don't need magic to do extraordinary stuff." Other classes also do extraordinary stuff without magic. Recovering Hit Points is not inherently magical; that is unless one considers Rests, Second Wind, and the Healer Feat/Healing Kits as...

Nothing about the Warlord says that other interpretations, or other mechanics/classes derived from those interpretations, are no longer valid (narrowing interpretations). It simply says that these interpretations are valid also, and these are the interpretations that this class is predicated...

Actually, I'm not. I'm not splitting the Unconscious condition at all. As with Hit Points, the Unconscious Condition is vague; purposely vague so as to support the multitude of views that D&D fans hold. That vagueness supports many tropes all on its own - it doesn't require me to justify it...

Partly true. Unconscious is when you are unable to consciously respond to your environment. Unconsciousness is not necessarily Coma. The subconscious, depending on the type or level of unconsciousness, may still respond to stimuli. There are layers of unconsciousness. Sleep is a type of...

Do you mean that this: ...was extending an olive branch?:erm: No. I don't think so. What I said is only an insult to your intelligence if you choose to perceive it that way. Insult was not my intention, nor did I say anything close to what you implied. I tried to educate. It didn't...

If that's the way you see it for your games, and the way you want to rule it, that's cool. Personally, I'd likely say that fear - even Dragon Fear - would pale in comparison to the fear a dying character is dealing with - the very real fear of actually occuring death, rather than just the...

Yeah, me too.:o There was a line in an episode of the West Wing where the President (Martin Sheen) said "Anyone in our house that only used one word when they could use ten just wasn't trying hard enough." That pretty much sums me up also...;)

I think they can fit in that category, but they're not limited to it. Depending on the character (which attribute one wants to focus on), or the narrative that the player or DM use, I think it can be. I think a Warlord can be an Intelligent Leader (using Intellectual Inspiration), I think a...

I wasn't reading Mellored's posts, so I don't know what he was saying or not saying about this. As to Aldarc, maybe he did make that distinction, maybe he didn't; but I asked him very pointedly to clarify what he was saying about this in case I was misreading him. He instead responded with...
