[QUOTE="urLordy, post: 6147413, member: 6747028"] A theoretical example, not a general solution or my preference. Maybe, except that I suggested that the warlord "heralded" a splintering of the fanbase, not initiated it. (May I give you both a 'C' on reading comprehension?) I never suggested it never caused any issues. I suggested there was an uneasy truce between at least two denominations. This paradigm well allows for some people dropping out on both sides, while allowing a bulk of different players remaining at the gaming table. I believe it is true IME (I can't be sure, I didn't survey my fellow gamers asking what they thought about hit points, etc). Your return to D&D 4E did signal an inverse and signficant outflow of D&D players, which I think was symptomatic of the aforementioned inevitable splintering as the game evolved. I don't see it as the same thing. I mean, it could be the similar, but it depends. For me, if a cigarette and lighter is a spell component, then a warlord is like second hand smoke - I can ignore it, but sometimes, it might blow in my face. This is not my argument for a tyranny of the minority, but an illustration of how they're not the same thing for me. Note that you had a problem with spell components being embedded in the main spell description and wanted to see it an optional sidebar. AKAICT from the Hit My Points article, that's how they're thinking of warlords and non-magical healing so far. If they were the same thing for you, wouldn't you have not argued against spell components in the main spell description? [/QUOTE]
