Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tony Vargas" data-source="post: 7369801" data-attributes="member: 996">I get it, you disaprove of a version of the game I liked.  You, however, should have the basic respect and consideration for your fellow fans to hold your nose, look the other way, or whatever it is you need to metaphorically do to live with the idea of those of use who like having that kind of option actually having it, in some obscure supplement, several years from now (assuming it enters development tomorrow - look how long the mystic's taken and still not seen print!). Your fear is unfounded.  There's no reason a functional support alternative in the warlord couldn't be, as you put "hand waved" (that is, given the same narrative forbearance as D&D has always granted magic), right into some optional little supplement, with no impact whatsoever on the underlying system and the standard game.   All that's remotely on the table at this point is an option, it's years into the edition, the standard version of 5e D&D is set in stone, a decent Warlord that does bring back all the things people loved about 4e (which it couldn't possibly do alone, but hey, even if it did) will not hurt those who hated 4e, it'll be an option they can just ignore.  5e was introduced, at the start of the Next playtest as aspiring to be D&D for everyone who ever loved D&D.  Fans of 4e loved D&D, even if only for a few years.  Fans of the Warlord loved D&D.  It really is very little to ask.  The same live-and-let-live consideration you're asked to give your fellow human beings who might differ from you in some small way, every day.As far as compromise, how is waiting years and years, not meeting you half way?  You have had D&D be the exercise in high-magic caster-supremacy you seem to insist upon, exclusively, for the first - probably about half, unless it goes significantly longer than 3.5 - of the current ed's life.  Can you not just set aside the grudge you hold against 4e and everyone who ever enjoyed playing it?</blockquote>
