A fighter, mage, or rogue--all worshiping St. Cuthbert--can also have that default personality, goals, enemies. I too am sick of the cleric class, and am really glad to see other solutions to the old question, "who will patch us up?" become available. I liked the Dragon Shaman, and am very interested in seeing this new Warlord class in play.As for the name, I don't understand the problem. A warlord is anybody who leads warriors. The warlord class fills the Leader role, and derives his power from a Martial (as opposed to the cleric's Divine) source. It's the perfect name. A leader (1st level warlord) of a petty street gang (composed of 1st level fighters) can reasonably call himself a warlord, or at least a "warband leader". I suppose they could have called the role Marshal or Sergeant, but those have military/organizational/rank implications that may be undesirable. "Warlord", to me, seems as generic as you can get. What other generic, single word could you use to describe a martial leader who tells warriors, strikers, and controllers what to do?</blockquote>
