[QUOTE="MechaPilot, post: 6711810, member: 82779"] Not at all. People are free to if they wish, but I am not advocating that people should do so. The Inspiring Leader feat requires 10 minutes to use. It is not something that is used to heal in response to harm. It is a buff, and not healing. The Rally maneuver is usable in response to harm, but why would you when you can use it beforehand and avoid harm to your permanent HPs. Even if you opted not to use it before combat because you had the time to use Inspiring Leader first, your best use of Rally for the maximum avoidance of harm to your permanent HPs is to use it as soon as the target has lost the temp HPs from the pre-battle speech. These abilities certainly have a place, but they are not healing, they are buffs. The same devs who are still trying to figure out the ranger almost one year after the PHB was released. Yeah, they're just people, just like all the rest of us. And yeah, they make games for a living. Even professionals don't always get their job right 100% of the time. Saru mo ki kara ochimasu. I am not strawmanning. I never said that you said that THPs would be the only option a warlord class would have. I am not moving goal posts. 1) I have always said the warlord needs to be able to restore actual HPs, and 2) I simply said that the things I mentioned were also evocative of the pre-battle speech trope, and that I think they feel more evocative than THPs do.
