[QUOTE="Lord Twig, post: 6825318, member: 31754"] Then you believe there is an inconsistency. I do not. Therefore I am not turning a blind eye to the inconsistency. Otherwise I could just say that you are intentionally refusing to see the consistency of magic. That wouldn't be right either, would it? My faith (or my characters, but whatever) makes me able to cast spells. The spell makes you stronger. The same as my science allows me to build a car that makes you faster. You don't need to know or care anything about science to use a car. And there is nothing wrong with deciding that your character inspires my character, but when a game mechanic assumes my character will be inspired by yours that choice is taken away from me. The tactical Warlord has a different problem. And you say it right there. They see things I miss. As a matter of fact it is flatly impossible for me to see whatever it is I'm missing. Only the Warlord can realize that I can do more every six seconds. Only when a Warlord is around can I perform at my best. It doesn't matter how motivated I am. It doesn't matter what is on the line. It doesn't matter how many people are helping me or how well I work with my team, any random Warlord can walk up and tell me what I am doing wrong, what I'm missing, and make me better. "Sorry friend Fighter I have know since boyhood and have fought with for the last 10 years! Sorry my true love that I am fighting for! I need to take this guy who just joined our party over here with me because only he can make me a better Fighter." Yeah, that's just not going to work for me. [/QUOTE]
