[QUOTE="Crimson Longinus, post: 8088456, member: 7025508"] People keep saying things like that, but no one has actually articulated what it actually means in practice. What are the sort of feature that a warlord must have, which doesn't fit in the subclass budget? Furthermore, as I said earlier, I don't think that a pure support class that does practically nothing else fits in the 5E design paradigm, Classes have their fortes, but they're not one trick ponies. Like sure, clerics heal and buff, but they can also fight. And now you might say that it is sufficient that warlords have mundane combat capabilities similar to the cleric and dedicate the rest of their budget to support. But clerics don't do that, because they can also use their spellcasting for combat. So to equal the similar personal combat power on a mundane character, this means having greater non-magical combat power than the cleric has, and then we are already nearing the fighter territory.
