But she's not as selfish as the average warlock- her ultimate aspiration is to found her own House and start a dynasty, and to do that she needs to make a name for herself and get people following her. In other words, she has a splash of Leader ability, for all that her primary combat style is blowing things up from the back rank.The logical way to do this would be a dip-multiclass into Warlord. But that...requires Strength 13, because it's a martial class, and every inspiration-related power we've seen has required you to bang on things with a weapon, which is not exactly the flavor of the character. Likewise, she's not a cleric- no gods are involved. I could ask the DM to let me reflavor the class, but even then, she'd need a high Wisdom to use any of their powers, which is certainly not appropriate for a stary-eyed kid with delusions of grandeur. Possibly the unreleased rules will fix that, but I kind of doubt it. The way it seems to be going is that all martial classes use strength and a weapon for every action, and clerics use wisdom for every action. So if you're really charismatic but not strong or wise, forget it. I dunno, maybe they'll eventually release an arcane Leader. Obviously I could just go single class and roleplay like a warlord, but I thought the whole point of the new system was to make combinations feasible.What would you all do about this in your games?</blockquote>
