[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6094272, member: 22779"] Jeff Carlsen - I think the best description of a warlord came out in a previous game. One of the players commented that when you play a warlord, you play the entire party. And I really think that's the heart of it. The warlord needs the mechanical framework to all him or her to influence the entire group and the entire group's tactics. Without granting extra actions, I'm not really sure if that's possible. Sure, straight up buffing is nice, but, that's all a bard did. It's not really enough. Where a warlord's draw is, at least for me, is in the ability of having this character be able to look at the combat situation, and actually directly influence how it plays out, beyond what he can do just by himself. Which, to me, means granting actions. To me, this is a much bigger element than healing to be honest. I never played a warlord to be the healer. I played a warlord because, for the first time in my D&D experience, I could actually be able to add tactics directly to situations. [/QUOTE]
