A spellless ranger or paladin isn't a solid classes either. This comparison is typically the result of inspiring warlords, that share a very simmilar niche with the bard. Bards can do things other than cast spells, but these are theoretically shared with the warlord, which should be avoided as inspiring people is the bard's one unique thing. It'd be unfortunate to give rage or sneak attack to another class and then make that new class more focused and better with that feature.However, the Intelligence based tactical warlord is very different. This is a strategic leader and military commander, which is different enough to stand apart from the bard. There's far less overlap. This warlord is not inspiring people to better through fancy words but directing them in battle, taking advantage of errors in their opponents' defences, or relying on practiced maneuvers.</blockquote>
