Every Warlord is going to look the same, and you can't actually *be* a Warlord until you've invested several feats into doing something similar to what a Warlord does.With Warlord as a subclass, then presumably you get unique Warlord abilities in place of whatever the basic Fighter gets as class features, and you are free to take whatever feats you want when you can choose them.</blockquote>
