yes the boss thief who definitely decides who gets the spoils of conflict. (he is the superior planner) the definition is intrinsically inferior to casters... and less flexible.

note "Battle" == "War" and "Master" == "Lord"

Yup he picks who gets what treasure and which adventures the group takes and whether they take prisoners and if they are willing to bribe someone and who gets kicked out of the group all that stuff and nobody gets any say in any of it. Just like the Cleric who gets to decide the only ones he...

Have to be careful the 3e marshal was so passive from what I hear it completely lost all spark and sense of tactical choice.

Paladin was the second highest political rank in its era. The preisthood were considered higher rank than the nobility in many parts of the world. I really do not think authority is ummm shrug.

The Paladin was a type of fighter originally and arguably the 2e Warrior included Warrior Lords/Paladins/Rangers.

Would you be building Aragorn as a Paladin? hmmmmm

As for names the historic William le' Marshal convinced me the name Marshal could be damn badass

A subclass which has "Kings Magic" - King's Magic is the kind of magic where true oaths can bring back the dead and your magic item only responds to those of your blood and oaths of allegience create brotherhoods whose unity grants them power. It might involve fated companions and is often...

4e put a lot of those tier choices in Themes/Paragon Paths/Epic Destinies. And it was not very class dependent not surprisingly. They could have put more... like having a Fated Wielder where the powers were magic item or items but it definitely fits the paradigm. It's about the player having a...

The ultimate freedom... the ability to rely on your ability to "sosh" the DM

La Destreza the more I read about it the more I was convinced it was fighter not rogue at all (... La Verdadera Destreza - the Spanish School of Fencing - La Verdadera Destreza Some of the features was being able to lunge without skewering yourself on your enemies weapon LOL At that time...

You were supposed to win the spell lotto so that the party always rested you to get that sleep spell back.

I didnt even like those... That +2 weapon on that 9th level fighter sure felt lame (actual experience) LOL , 2e eventually added quite a few buffs via weapon specialization I hear? Since no adventures I seen played over a certain level used the uber low hd monsters so that minion crushing might...

1e thief was basically useless from the start and only got worse if the group had experience. .. the fighter had a short stint unless they were highly dm supported (with relics and the like)

Sounds like dismissing the players of other classes as being impaired or unimaginative which is crazy given how flexible spells are in 5e. ... the irony I see is those with the highest out of the box power are also given more flexible tools. Its that lack of versatility that is most often...

Freedom to do what exactly... I mean they have fewer tools to be imaginative with you sound like the people that said literacy and writing were bad because people would stop remembering things if they can write it down. Yup them other character types cannot use their imagination its completely...

Yes in some ways Eldritch Knight is a multi-class without multi-classing but why the BM is innadequate as a Warlord and (even a better written) PDK probably would be too... is because a multi-class is not going to reflect the archetype of one of its parent nearly as well as the full thing. Oh...

The warlord style ones generally feel more like sidekick ones LOL... the ability to affect the entire team is missing. I do understand when people say "just like the Eldritch Knight would make a less than satisfying Wizard the Battlemaster makes a less than satisfying Warlord".

yup its perhaps the lowest overhead "resource" possible in typical D&D play
