Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tony Vargas" data-source="post: 6723553" data-attributes="member: 996">An official, even 'core,' Warlord class that left room for interpretation when it came to the nature of it's abilities, specifically Inspirational Healing, would not be an unreasonable Compromise, and, poor as these polls tend to be at sampling, I'd be surprised if it didn't come out well ahead.  Edit:  Anyone thinking that they are voting for a homebrew class, though, should re-read the title, choices, and OP, and un-vote if they're not OK with the idea of an official Warlord with an ambiguously-sourced Inspiring Word.While I like 'some say' language like that, it really belongs in a side-bar.  The class, and the specific ability itself, could be presented in support of the actual concept, meaning they would not say they were in any way magical or supernatural.  A side-bar could point out that there is room to interpret any ability that seems to an individual (even a player) too far-fetched as actually having some semi-mystical or magical underpinning, just one that is transparent even to the user.  Thus, a player or his character are free to decide that the Warlord is mystical in some cryptic way if that keeps it from spoiling any hp visualization that 5e already supports (which is definitely not any/all possible ones) or otherwise exceeds the limits of the player's imagination or the character's core beliefs.According to a close parsing of the rules touching on magic by I'm a Banana, anything that isn't explicitly a 'magical effect' can technically be ruled non-magical.  Even Lay on Hands, for instance.  The concept of the Warlord is a non-casting/non-magical character, and it'd still be OK to make that clear, but just leave a little wiggle room open for folks to believe otherwise.   Just about as much wiggle room as you have if you don't want to believe Lay On Hands is a magical power.</blockquote>
