Basic Melee Attacks

Or the Warlord uses his Intellegence (which I think is above 13 if he's using Commander's Strike) and makes the Fighter the source of his Commander's Strike, as the Fighter's attack will mark additional enemies and provide a lot more benefit due to his sole melee supremacy, rather than a dagger using guy whose build is based around dodging in and out of combat, including the occasional ranged attack when he's feeling cheeky.

Who's the guy you want the bonus attack for? The guy who's doin' 1d4+1, or the guy who does 2d6+4 and marks the guy? If the Rogue's used his Sneak Attack already, it's a cakewalk who's getting the extra hit in.

Besides that, the Artful Dodger is being sneaky. The last thing he wants is the boss pointing him out midbattle and yelling 'HEY YOU, GO STAB THAT GUY IN THE BACK!' when you're trying to be -discrete- in your assassinaty ways.
