Message: <blockquote data-quote="Khoram" data-source="post: 6334883" data-attributes="member: 62942">Uh ok. I used some stuff that isn't out yet (hirelings...) and you're complaining about stuff that isn't out yet (half-orcs...). All I have is the Basic Rules. Once more official stuff is out, maybe I'll change it, you know? But to complain about how I did things in a way that made sense to me because of what you think may be in non-published rules is counter-productive.So on the one hand you are criticizing me because I took a crack at hirelings in a way that makes sense from a role-play perspective, then complain because they aren't as powerful as what might be in the official rules. I would rather have it be less powerful than overpowered.I was hoping to open up dialogue. Instead you keep telling me it's too swinging (what does that mean?), it should be more like a cleric (I don't want a cleric-substitute, I want a fighter-esque leader of warriors), and that it's both too powerful and yet so restrictive it's underpowered. Then you capped it off with a description of your cleric-substitute. This isn't 4E; warlord doesn't necessarily have to be a "leader" role (as there aren't any "roles" defined in my copy of the Basic Rules...), d8, cleric-substitute class anymore.Your first critique was very helpful - you pointed out I was using abilities that disrupted the intended action mechanic, so I changed that. All enemies get free attacks - the intent of that was to dissuade the dishonorable breaking of the single combat. I'm open to suggestions on other ways of preventing abuse. I didn't put this up as an act of self-gratification (though it's hard to see how you wouldn't say the same about 95% of the stuff posted on a homerule/homebrew/fan creation forum...). I put it up because I thought I had the kernel of an interesting warlord-type class based on a concept from popular historical fiction (rather than 4E's "pushin'-n-pullin' round the combat grid non-magical cleric wannabe"). You don't like it, fine, don't use it. I posted it in case someone else saw something that interested them. Is that ok?</blockquote>
