[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4328269, member: 710"] A well formulated and well thought-out post... I totally can't agree with. ;) I love the Warlord. I don't care if there could be a better name, it is an interesting archetype. On points 1&2): Who would go into a tavern and call out "We need a Priest on our adventuring mission!" D&D assumes that everyone is religiously interested enough to get a priest together, not only showing some token respect to his faith, but actually relying on it. A party can have a Warlord, a party can have a Cleric. Maybe they are militaristic and belief in a ordered combat so they prefer being lead by a Warlord, or they trust in the gods and let a Cleric join their ranks. On points 3&4): The Warlord sees opening the Ranger does not. Not because the Ranger is less competent, but because the Warlord is standing somewhere else and is trained to look at the entire flow of the combat. The Ranger focuses on his target. He can't afford to spend so much time contemplating all of the enemies or allied movement or actions. The Warlord can, but he is giving up options to directly act himself. [/QUOTE]
