I don't actually get the opposition for the warlord... or rather the opposition to the concept.

[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 6757166, member: 59506"] One, the PDK is in an accessory and campaign specific, not the core rules. Yes, it can be adapted, but it shouldn't need to be adapted nor pieced together from multiple books - nor should it require buying a book one may likely have no interest in other than that specific class feature. And it's possible it's only wiggle room until it gets clarified in Sage Advice... Two, the PDK is a Fighter archetype, which by the rules can't be multi-classed with a Fighter Battle Master archetype (there are no rules for multiclassing archetypes). So, you're stuck with one from column A [B][I]OR[/I][/B] one from Column B, and still cannot make a full Warlord. Two, I'm not going to list the plethora of maneuvers and things that a 4E Warlord could do that a 5E Warlord can't; but you know that there are a lot, and there's no need for me to list them. Three, 5E is missing a single class to fulfill the concept; rather than requiring a hodge-podge multi-classing that brings undesired baggage/extraneous features (and some can't be combined anyways - as with the DPK and the Battle Master). So, as has been said numerous times, one can play a Warlord-ish character in 5E but not an actual Warlord. I can't help but note that all of this has been discussed and enumerated before. You know this and I know this. I've read posts you've made as part of discussions about this. So I'm curious as to why you asked the question? [/QUOTE]
