You don't tend to need healing during combat unless some monster clobbers someone for tons of damage. Combat isn't long like 4th edition. There's no need to "Healing/Inspiring Word" or Second Wind every fight. And almost all the strengths of the 4th edition warlord are gone or minimized. Stacking bonuses are minimized. In combat healing is not assumed every combat. There is not inherent bonuses for positioning outside of certain classes. The warlord might need to change with the edition just how the sorcerer and bard did. Instead of healing in combat, a warlord could grant bonuses to keep allies form being hurt and keeps the party topped off in HP at the start of almost every battle. Essentially be a spell-less valor bard with beefed up Song of Rest.</blockquote>
