All characters should be self-sufficient and none should be based on their ability to affect allies, given that there is no assumed party size, composition, or interpersonal dynamic. The ability to provide minor morale bonuses to allies (not hit points) really doesn't need to be class-specific and should not be a major class feature even for magic classes (repeat after me: bards suck).Also, there's really not much basis in reality or even in fiction for such profound effects from this kind of interpersonal interaction; battlefield command is important, but this completely misrepresents it.Look to late 3.5 teamwork benefits for a much more appropriate mechanical representation of this concept.</blockquote>
