[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 6728224"] Huh. I'm surprised you call it a "misinterpretation" when almost all of the language points to exactly what I'm describing. Actually, the emotional states was an attempt to elucidate why the Leadership role was problematic for me. I would have thought that connection would have been more apparent. Could you link the post where it was "thoroughly addressed" rather than just denied. Maybe Bawylie can explain it to you better, or maybe at least you'll be more receptive to hearing it from him: he's a Warlord fan and a reasonable guy, and he agreed it was a pretty good argument. Short version: doing so falls under the category of "roleplaying that pisses off the rest of the table." my choices are to either acquiesce or to be in the category of "jerks who cause a TPK because of his roleplaying purity." So, yeah, I can keep agency and not be welcome at the table. No thanks. Likewise, if you just play a cleric and roleplay non-magical healing fluff however you like, you might also get Inspiration points. On the contrary, my loathing keeps increasing. I think it's the dismissive, passive-aggressive pedantry that gets directed my way when I try to discuss it. I've tried (and continue to try) to contribute to implementation in many threads, and with a few exceptions (Bawylie, mellored) all I get back is "NO IT MUST BE EXACTLY LIKE THIS..." I get the sense Warlord fans don't actually want implementation input, they just want any non-believers to get out of the way. [/QUOTE]
