[QUOTE="Blue, post: 6731782, member: 20564"] Why? I'm not trying to be a smart-alec, but why is reducing damage taken not a valid replacement for healing? The most HP of healing over the course of an adventuring day come from spending HD. Why can't the warlord be better at reducing/removing that damage but worse at standing up people who have already fallen? Especially since thematically (vs. 4e historically) that seems to be the non-magical niche they would occupy? I'm not saying not to give them something like song of rest or the Inspiring Leader feat to also help during rests. But why must they heal wounds? But why MUST the warlord have to have a healing component vs. a damage reduction component? The poll has no healing at all as the most answered response, double the next highest which is still 80% mitigation. This seems to be a viable option for other players, what makes it wrong? [/QUOTE]
