[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5598045, member: 71571"] That definition is pretty simplistic tho. Leaders are not defined by attack-types. Except it doesn't DO what the templar does. The irony is that the Str-cleric is a legacy thing. There've always been armored clerics that hit the front lines and beat things to death, and yes... they were based on Strength. Clerics were the best melee class in 3.x for a reason. The Warpriest's only commonality with the Str-Templar is the word 'Melee' on the powers. The Death Domain doesn't even resemble one at all. Thing is... Domains are a good idea, and they wanted to make a leader based around them. So they did. By the time essentials rolled around, the idea of a wisdom meleer wasn't some unusual thing like in the PHB1 days. The technology and acceptance of it made the warpriest possible. But a replacement for a Strength Cleric? When one of the domains gives attack bonuses like candy, then I can see an argument there. I do hope so as well. [/QUOTE]
