[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 6726118, member: 5142"] Because it's just a class description, and one meant to make people think "cool! I want to do that!" and evoke a fantasy archetype and game role that people want to play. It's the sales pitch written on the box. Sure the flavor matters, but that often has little bearing once the class comes into actual play. And I hope you realize how easy it is to refluff the flavor were to have just put some gosh-darn effort into it in the first place instead of repeating your same mantras about warlords roleplaying your character for you. Which is why you should instead conceptualize the "warlord" as someone who just wants to be an excellent team player and who has a tactical mind for combat support. That leaves you able to fawn over the bard, since you're okay with fawning over dudes with magic. So would you mind going back through my description again once you have finished editing using basic grammar to adjust your "quibbles of fluff"? Surely, you can take what I wrote and adjust the warlord description to be more to your liking. Focus the description more on teamwork than leadership. That's where I would say that the warlord's ability then should blur the line between Ex and Su, much as bardic inspiration does. [/QUOTE]
