[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 5757258, member: 58416"] Not trying to derail the thread here; I've just noticed that the issue I have with 4th's plausibility seems to be a lot different from what other people have cited. I do not (usually) complain about terminology, so I do not feel it's a big deal for the Warlord to be martial. Actually, in that regard; as someone who has been in combat, I'll defend the Warlord's inspiring word as being somewhat plausible. Morale matters; I've seen soldiers push beyond their injuries and complete a mission after being encouraged by a leader. What usually gets me is that the fiction within the game world is not consistent with itself and the own reality it has created in the game world. As I said previous... I find it strange that a lot of demon princes and other such creatures are feared throughout the land when they get spanked so easily by PCs. Likewise, when a PC can blast through a door no problem, yet a BBEG monster struggles to even scratch it, it seems strange. It's difficult for me to put myself in the mindset of someone living in that world without questioning the world around me. I understand why monsters and pcs are built differently; I even support that as a design decision, but I feel that -even while built differently- monsters and PCs should have a more consistent way of interacting with the world around them.
