D&D 5E How much Warlord do you want?

[CapnZapp]

And even after WotC gives us a Warlord, there will be people asking for a true Warlord!

That doesn't matter.

It is Wizard's official take that's important.

Not at all. I thought it was funny that you think fervent warlord fans will stop asking for "the one they want" once WotC publishes "an official one".

You miss the point.

The point is that not until such time will the calls stop.

That somebody might continue even afterwards is of little concern to me.

Indeed, unless it's not fit for purpose (much like the Beastmaster archetype), an official Warlord would quell those who want it.

Hell, I would be somewhat satisfied with the Purple Dragon Knights if they hadn't ed up and put the level 3 feature at level 10 and visa versa.

You miss the point.

Weird. I didn't think I did. That's how it goes I guess.

The point is that not until such time will the calls stop.

Until such time as what, exactly?

That somebody might continue even afterwards is of little concern to me.

I didn't realize this was all about what concerns you personally. Your original statement I quoted certainly didn't leave me with that impression, either. <shrug>

I see. Well, perhaps your perspective is better served by feats (and maybe the "Warlord" is just that, a feat) that emulate those abilities.

I've often wondered what D&D would look like if more of the class features were feats and everyone got an ASI every two levels. You could increase the ASIs for the Fighter and Rogue accordingly.

If I were going to do a spin-off 5e Fantasy Heartbreaker that's probably what I would do; with at most 3 or 4 classes--basically True20 with 5e's math.

Um...just enough to make it all go away?

But I could be wrong- I always hope people get what they want.

I believe it was Nietzsche who said "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, well you just might find, you get what you need."

But I want it all.

I want it all! I want it all!
And I want it now.
