[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 7628439, member: 5142"] As it so happens, the Warlord's words make you inspired; it does not specify feelings you must hold regarding the Warlord or the emotional reaction you have to their words or actions. (Also I will fully note here how you ignored the other examples.) While you are gone, it's worth reflecting whether these accusations don't equally apply to your own opposing position regarding the warlord. It's not clear to me what you are arguing here. Would you mind elucidating your thoughts a bit more? Which is certainly a hypocritical cop-out answer. We may as well say that it's equally okay for the Warlord too "because heroic fantasy." [URL="https://twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/status/672600548625936384"]It's not magical according to Jeremy Crawford at least,[/URL] though a DM may rule otherwise, which is an option that has always been the case. I suppose this means that the bard now goes into Elfcrusher's rage-quit pile of classes. Though this also runs both ways, so I don't see why someone like Elfcrusher couldn't just rule that the Warlord's abilities are a subtle magic or have that as their personal head canon if they were playing alongside a warlord PC. However, this would be similar to many, if not most, warlord abilities that provide tactical advantages for allies. This example is less about how they feel but about their agency in regards to tactical advantages that their allies may intentionally provide other allies. Which seems like an extreme edge case scenario for maybe all but a trifling handful of players. I would hope that most nice, reasonable adults would have grown out of rage-quitting playing at a table only because someone is playing a class that offends their roleplaying eccentricities. If someone is constantly having to wrestle with the possibility that they may be that "jerk at the table" in such a scenario, then I think that the person in question should earnestly reflect on why that's the case and how they could stop. I don't think that doubling-down on the jerk-like behavior and accusing everyone else of being wrong is a feasible solution. [/QUOTE]
