[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 7628467, member: 5142"] I will repeat myself and maybe you will bother reading this time: "[the Warlord's words do] not specify feelings you must hold regarding the Warlord or the emotional reaction you have to their words or actions". This is paramount to saying that you react to what the Warlord does, but their abilities do not dictate your particular emotions or how you feel. If someone inspires you, regardless of the reasons why or how or even who they are in relation to you, they are not dictating what you feel to you or how you feel about them. I'm impressed that my call for serious introspection of your arguments about this matter only required a little less than 50 minutes between my post and your response. That seems like an accurate assessment of someone who regularly trolls any thread or mention of the warlord. As Tony Vargas mentions, he may not like psionics, but at least he's not a jerk about it. The same is true for many people in these forums. They can oppose things without being regular jerks about it. But you? We don't even have someone playing a warlord on the table, and you're already behaving like "that jerk at the table." I'm not sure why I should even be sympathetic to your argument when you draw such unreasonably hard lines in the sand while acting in the manner that you do. I get what you are saying, but I don't necessarily think that the analogy is entirely apt, particularly in the context of 4e roles. If the "leader" is the positive rebranding of "walking band-aid," I'm fairly certain that "defender" was meant to be the positive rebranding of "meat shield." Part of the active role of playing a defender was to defend their allies by drawing attention to them and punishing enemies who didn't through the use of your abilities that reinforced that role, hence the name.
