[QUOTE="GreenTengu, post: 6789751, member: 6777454"] Yeaaahh.... You seem alarmingly ignorant of something very basic. People might possibly get used to it if it wasn't so off-putting that it actually remained in the game. Instead, it was wholly torn out of the game as literally the only base class of any edition that didn't make it in. The closest one got was an alternate Fighter build which is a 1/3rd support class and 2/3rds a straight-combat class which mostly clearly is not a correct replacement for a full non-spell slot using support class. But so long as the concept is called "Warlord" that is literally as close as you EEEEEEVEEEER are going to become. Meanwhile, Tieflings and Dragonborn remained in the game. You seriously somehow totally missed that when you opened up your PHB and flipped through it, didn't you? Like-- you just fully didn't understand the whole reason this subforum exists at all, it totally escaped you. People CANNOT get used to a term that they are never using because it was tossed in the garbage along with the whole concept. It is going to remain in that garbage and everyone is going to think of it as garbage no matter how long you stick to your bizarre idea that the longer it rots away in the trash, the more people will appreciate it with the label it has been stuck with. And all the parts of the class remained in the game. Pretty much everything you need is spread across the Fighter, Bard, Paladin and Cleric, it is just utterly impossible to multiclass in a way to properly get the parts in a working fashion as you are forced to pick up tons of junk you don't want in the process that end up becoming the majority of what makes up your character. So it really isn't any of the mechanics anyone who can accept this edition is rejecting to. It is fundamentally the packaging that has fundamentally prevented it from appearing in the game as an option, and so as long as it retains that packaging it cannot come back. If you actually want to come back, then you will stop acting so ignorant and actually contribute towards repackaging the concept in a way that will make it less offensive to those who have rejected so boisterously that the designers of the game ultimately decided to side with them. And the most important first step in doing that is to choose a new name. [/QUOTE]
