Basically, a warlord who cannot help his buddies when they actually need the help might as well not be able to help them at all.I do think there is a simple, easy, coherent, intuitive solution, though. Instead of healing, warlords could grant temporary hit points. This is similar to but distinct from actual healing, and with the addition of a few warlord-specific mechanics to allow an unconscious creature to come to, it is beautifully simple and pretty well-balanced. Drawbacks:-Doesn't actually heal you.-(Without other mechanics) Can't help if you are unconscious.Advantages:-Can inspire temporary hit points to take you above your normal maximum.-Doesn't actually heal you. (This is an advantage when it comes to justifying the mechanics in a way that players will accept.)This seems to me to be about a wash vs. regular, cleric-style healing- as long as warlords have a "rouse the fallen" ability that lets someone with temporary hps but no real hps come to, even if briefly.</blockquote>
