Yeah, the warlord was in a PHB. So what?The assassin was in the 1e PHB, the 3e corebooks, and was two classes in 4e. Couldn't the exact same be said about it? The avenger seemed popular in 4e. There were a lot of Beguiler and hexblade in 3e. The cavalier has seen a couple editions and was in the cartoon, as was the acrobast. Shouldn't the acrobat be given a chance to gain traction? An appearance in the cartoon should at least carry as much weight as an outdated rulebook.True, but the background of a character is what they did  *before* they became a hero, before they started adventuring. Almost nothing in your background should be more interesting than your first few adventures. Given you might spend your first adventuring struggling against goblins and bandits.The name doesn't help. It's not "Marshal" or "Commander" but warlord. It doesn't convey someone who might have "led" a watch of three dudes . "I was the best mall copy in my small Nebraska town, so now I call myself a warlord!"</blockquote>
