[QUOTE="Palladion, post: 4301656, member: 12373"] [COLOR=Silver][FONT=Trebuchet MS]First thing that your player should notice is that the warlord attacks are all based off Strength and his attacks all key off as a melee combatant. Convince him of the "marshal" aspect of the character class. All the class "leader" effects are essentially "bonus" effects from actually attacking and hitting an enemy. Next, healing is a minor action. He can do it as an afterthought. That should convince him of the non-cleric aspect of the class. As for an actual build, dragonborn inspiring warlord, eladrin tactical warlord, or tiefling warlord are all sound builds. Have him look to see if any of the paragon classes inspire him, I find it always nice to have something to work towards. [I]Lead the attack[/I] has definitely swung the battle in our favor with my group. I could not comment much on higher level powers (because I am not playing the warlord and we have not gotten there yet). Tactical Assault (PHB 201) works really well, especially if there are multiple damage rolls involved. (As an aside, eladrin tactical warlord, wizard multiclass, power swap feats, wizard of the Spiral Tower paragon class, demigod epic destiny. Also works with tiefling.)[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
