I had been following the Warlord poll thread for a couple of days here and hadn't really even considered it viable for 5e previously but it did get me to crack open the 4e PHB and actually read the class and the powers. I saw vaguely how it might work in 5e so I thought the objection was the martial flavor from the skeptic's side. It does seem to break along power source lines much more strongly on the proponents side than I thought it would. That is understandable a lot of what makes 5e classes appealing for me is that kind of flavor rather than straight mechanics. I suppose you could limit a Warlord inspirational healing to a subclass. DMs or players who like the Warlord but found inspirational healing to be a dealbreaker could have it in the game without the healing component. Although I have kind of come around to the idea of martial self-healing with Second Wind and I am not sure what your other subclasses might entail... probably at least one for more intelligence-based tactical maneuvers. I never really checked out Warlord development in 4e beyond the PHB so I am only really familiar with the idea of more inspirational and more tactical builds out of the box. Later supplements may have opened up other obvious archetypes that aren't coming to me right now. I did see "lazy warlords" mentioned in the big thread who were all about not attacking but granting actions and team leading which sounds appealing to me, but seems to be contentious, maybe that is another possibility though.</blockquote>
