However casting Haste (at higher level) achieves the same effect in terms of the game fiction. It enables your allies to move faster and do more than they normally would. Whether it is on their turn or your turn is purely an artefact of game mechanics, which changes between editions.So 5e can never have a class that is identical to the 4e warlord for the very simple reason that 5e rules are not identical to 4e rules.It does, however let you create a character that taps into exactly the same archetype.But if you want 4e game mechanics you need to play 4e.Case in point:I don't know 4e rules, but I do know 5e rules. And under 5e rules, if someone gains an extra action they can use it to cast a spell with a casting time of 1 action.Of course, in 5e rules you can't use an action if it's not your turn. The 5e equivalent is enabling someone to use their reaction to do something. Which battlemasters can do. Or giving them the ability to make an extra attack on their turn. Which the Haste spell does.So the reason there is no 4e warlord in 5e is it is IMPOSSIBLE for a class in 5e to function identically to a class in 4e. And I suspect the reason there is no class called Warlord in 5e has nothing to do with the people who didn't care for 4e, and everything to do with the 4e fanbois who would kick up a fuss if anything didn't function identically to 4e.</blockquote>
