I'm cool with it working with a casting class.:cool:

Hmmmmm... That's not a bad idea. Along with the other approaches I'm putting together (dedicated class, reworked Battle Master, reworked Valor Bard, and Warlord features as Feats), I think I might just make a Prestige Class also. That might be an awesome way to introduce the class to 5E...

Yeah, I get it; but they approached it wrong. You don't try to fix an imbalance with an overpowered ability by making both overpowered. That's how infinite power creep begins (like 3E to 3.5E to Pathfinder). What would have been better is change Shadow Step (that's the only one I see as a...

It has a few problems, though I'll overlook that there's no such thing as Infravision in 5E and just stick to the three balance issues I see. First, 6th Level Monk disciplines cost 3 ki points in the PHB - the ones from that document only cost 2 ki points. Second, nothing in 5E can see through...

No; because if they behave this way, they are no longer welcome as part of the group, and therefore not one of my players.

To be completely fair, the Major Aura Hardy Soldiers does provide Hit Point loss mitigation. In other words, while it doesn't give you HP, it keeps you from losing some in the first place. (...and sorry for the lateness of this post...I'm just catching up on some of the reading now...)

No. You're making an assumption. Nobody here - including you - is worth getting mad about. Yet despite that information being freely available throughout the Warlord threads, and links to the pertinent posts conveniently provided in multiple places, you keep asking instead of reading - even...

Advantage/Disadvantage also.

567 words - 1 1/2 pages of a Word document if double-spaced (3/4 of a page if not). That's about 1/4 to 1/3 the size of a class write-up in the PHB - not counting archetypes or paths... (about 1/8 if you do) You ask questions, but then won't read the response - giving some snarky reply as to...

Eh...I'm not seeing it. Mathematically, you could still run into "always hit except on a fumble" and "always miss except on a crit situations". Those situations are what bounded accuracy is meant to prevent, and 4E didn't have that. If anything, I'd say that the idea of bounded accuracy came...

Why is this an issue? A Healing spell only works if a Cleric initiates it... A Paladin's Lay on Hands only works if they initiate it... Why is it an issue that a Warlord (or Battle Master) is the initiator of the hit point recovery? Regardless of the underlying narrative, the mechanical...

Uhm...No. I see Hit Points as exactly what the PHB describes them as: That's also the viewpoint I've taken in describing Warlord inspirational hit point recovery. As far as the narrative of Hit Point loss, that's up to each individual table/DM. However, any narrative that is inconsistent...

A Warlord is first and foremost, a Leader. The concept of Leadership, for most, is an ambiguous, poorly understood thing - but the effects of Leadership are anything but ambiguous or intangible. Its presence is proven through success, its absence obvious in failure. Leadership is a skill and...

I like the idea of using whatever is most appropriate for that character. High Wisdom and High Intelligence characters resist it mentally. High Constitution and High Strength characters resist it physically. High Charisma characters resist it through force of personality. The only snag I run...

No. The insulting rudeness that's been presented leaves me disinclined to do so. They are easy enough to find if one looks, and one is honestly interested in knowing. End of Conversation.

Do you mean this post? If so, could you please point out where I implied "non-magical"? "a source of real physical recovery through Inspiration" doesn't. Whether one wants to view it as magical or non-magical has no bearing on inspiration being the initiator. One can view it any way one...

I have not said that. I think you're either confusing me with someone else, or not fully comprehending what I've communicated. One person is not most; and not all players are Warlord fans. Maybe your friend is - I can't possibly know - but of those here at ENWorld throughout the multiple...
