Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lord Twig" data-source="post: 6833167" data-attributes="member: 31754">Some of these I have had more trouble with than others, but something was pointed out in the latest Sage Advice  that helps a lot:So is Bardic Inspiration magic or not? Well it doesn't meet any of the four criteria, so it is not a focused magical effect. Therefore it is background, physics magic.This is really useful to know so you can judge if it works in an anti-magic field, for example. And it is a clever way of nerfing Anti-Magic Field by still allowing background magic, like dragon flight, Second Wind, Inspiring Leader, healing with Hit Dice on a short rest and even Lay on Hands and Aura of Protection/Courage.There was a lot of other stuff I disagree with or think is wrong in your post. But that's fine. I don't have the time to answer them all and we would just be arguing in circles anyway. So I'll just address this last point...Looking at it more it is amazing how warlord-like you can make a Battle Master Fighter. When WotC said they were going to include all previous classes that were in a PHB1, I'm pretty sure they thought they had included the Warlord by including the Battle Master Fighter. That doesn't matter of course, Warlord fans want a dedicated Warlord that does even more support (and less damage) than the Battle Master Fighter.I did say that a Warlord should be available as an option, and I am still on board with that. As long as it is in line with the amount of support that a Bard or Cleric does now, and taking into consideration that there are certain things that aren't going to be possible without actual magical magic (spell casting and magical abilities). But there is a lot of things that can be explained using the new clarification from Sage Advice. Even shout healing. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
