Message: <blockquote data-quote="GreyLord" data-source="post: 6728291" data-attributes="member: 4348">Warlords weren't all about the healing though, they were also about support.  They had abilities such as allowing greater possibilities for criticals and other things.As others have said, a Warlord is the officer idea where they are a warrior, but one that sometimes stands behind the lines giving support or orders rather than on the frontline fighting.  In that way, they have fighter possibilities, but are also very much support.I also agree with Hussar, so much of 5e is a direct reflection of 4e.  Bounded accuracy is a direct relation to 4e mechanics (except they went up to 10 typically instead of 6) and the option for healing surges as well as long and short rests like 4e are right in the game.  I don't think it would be hard to transfer a Warlord type character directly over if they wanted.If nothing else, they could make it part of the fighter class as one of the options.That said, there may be some reluctance as it seems a lot of the hatred towards 4e (despite the fact that for many 4e players the heritage of many of the core mechanics in 5e are directly related to 4e, at least in their opinions)  has been redirected towards the warlord.  I could see there being a reluctance to print up something in depth or equivalent of a core class of something that resurrects bad feelings.</blockquote>
