[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 6734024, member: 59506"] Fair enough. I will refocus on this: A Warlord is a Leader - someone who has cultivated the skill of Leadership and exercises that skill. I'm not sure what issue you have with Leaders, but it's obvious you want any mention or representation of this expunged from a potential 5E Warlord. Sorry, but No. It is part of the concept, whether you like it or not. Eliminating the Leadership aspect of the concept, just to make those that take issue with people exhibiting Leadership, is just as bad as eliminating Inspirational Recovery because of those that take issue with that. If one eliminates everything from the Warlord that is an issue for people, there is no Warlord; so, No. A Warlord is a Leader, a Supporter, a Mentor/Coach, an Inspirer, and a Tactician/Strategist. The inclusion of those aspects, IMO, is not open for debate. How they are presented or modeled is another story. But eliminating any or all entirely? No. If one has a problem with those aspects, then one has a problem with Warlords; in which case, Warlords are probably not for them. Not to mention that I find it ironic that you attempted to mandate that I not argue against a dedicated class, while you're doing exactly that as to a Prestige Class - and doing it in a thread of which the topic is actually [I]Warlord as a Prestige Class[/I]...:erm: Yes, I take issue with that. You're right, that is a consistent narrative. It's also, IMO, a very sucky narrative, one that I'd never play nor ever impose upon one of my players (I'd never treat a player that ignobly). But it is consistent nonetheless. I concede the point. [/QUOTE]
