[QUOTE="Fifth Element, post: 4328381, member: 48135"] Consider the warlord a twit all you want, but if you choose to ignore the free actions that he gives you, that's your problem. Which just proves that the warlord is better at tactics than you. He would never pass up a free attack. All right, use cleric instead. Walk into a bar and say "We need a new cleric!" Some guy with a holy symbol and a pile of scrolls, wearing robes walks up to you. "I'm a cleric! What ceremony do you need performed?" "Well, put on your armour, grab your mace, and let's go kill some goblins!" "Um...armour? You expect me to [I]fight[/I]? I'm a man of the cloth!" Cleric is a terrible name for the cleric class. But it's been the name of the class for so long that our perception of the word "cleric" has changed. Given time, the same will happen with warlord. Why can't "warlord" mean what it means in D&D in a fantasy world? There are many things we say as D&Ders every day that bear little resemblance to their everyday meaning. What's one more? Stop thinking of them that way and the problem goes away. It's quite easy really. It's next to no effort. Just stop interpreting them in a way you don't like. Yeah, that's the bard anyway. [/QUOTE]
