[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 5099099, member: 3146"] As far as I can tell, nothing prevents you from taking both archer warlord and battlefrond leader features. If you did so, you would end up with no chainmail proficiency (but access to a feat that gives you scale proficiency +1 healing surge) and no light shield proficiency but heavy shield proficiency. You would also have proficiency in military ranged weapons. Now, if that starts to sound like you're giving up nothing for something, it's a little more complex than that. If you are an Int based archer warlord, you probably don't really want scale armor proficiency. You can get the same AC with hide. And you are passing up the ability to get combat commander (+Int to init for you and your party) by going with battlefront leader. If you plan to use the archer warlord feature (bow, etc), then you probably can't take advantage of your heavy shield proficiency since bows and crossbows are both two handed weapons. And if all you are interested in is a more efficient way to improve your AC (scale mail, heavy shield, and a surge for the cost of one feat), then, while archer warlord costs you nothing you care about, it also doesn't benefit you because you're not going to spend the standard action to get rid of your shield in combat to actually use that bow proficiency.
