But maybe this is done intentional, so we won't be able to make a 1st level D&D PHB complete. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />But nothing I saw made me not interested in the Warlord.  I want to play one of them. Possibly more then before. It looked to me as if the Warlord is also a skilled fighter, and that means it fits the archetype I want to play very well. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Maybe it's a bit early for that, but if we compare the Rogue and the Warlord skills, I see a certain pattern: It seems all classes get to pick 4 skills. The Rogue only gets 2 "free" skills. I guess I'd have to check the pregens if this holds up.I understood that daily powers are really the big guns you pull out if you feel that things will get or have gotten hairy. Outside of Warlocky stuff: I am also a little disappointed that we will have only one Controller in the first PHB. But if I had the choice between only one Leader or only one Controller, I'd pick the latter. I never liked playing Clerics (and this has little to do with their power, but a lot with "how" they have to be played), but certainly enjoy playing wizards or sorcerers. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Still, it would have been nicer if there would have been two strikers, two controllers, two leaders and two defenders. You get a choice for every role.EDIT: Oh, and the Warlord Quote on the top of the article, it is classic and old. But it's still awesome. If that's what Warlords say, they have already sold me the class. Or would have, if they wouldn't have already done so in the Preview Books.</blockquote>
