[QUOTE="GreenTengu, post: 6769891, member: 6777454"] Your ignorance is showing. You've never actually looked at any other class in the book, have you? The whole Bardic Inspiration thing, arguably the most fundamental feature of the Bard is based precisely on that premise. The Cleric's whole magic premise is based on the idea that their belief in their god is so strong that it affects you, infecting and empowering you with their faith even if their deity is utterly opposed to you. The Battlemaster Fighter already has basically the whole Warlord suit, only as a minor aspect rather than a major so everything is already 100% in the game. The Ranger's Natural Explorer group affecting ability is predicated on them being the rest of the group following their lead and stepping where they say to step and generally giving up some of their free will and putting faith in the Ranger's ability. The Paladin has an aura of fearlessness that implies that other PCs revere and believe in him so much that as long as he is close by their side, they no longer fear anything. Honestly, the number of classes that don't mechanically impose some sort of relationship between the PCs is dwarfed by those that do. Going beyond that, there are monsters whose whole concept is to charm your character, thus forcing a physical attraction upon you and limiting your actions such as a Succubus or a Dryad. And then you have other monsters that can force the emotional state of Frightened upon you, thus limiting your choices (or at least heavily penalizing them), which I imagine you throw a tantrum over and declare that your character ain't scared a' nothing and the DM can't tell you other I don't know whether you are simply ignorant, you never actually put any thought into any of this and are blowing out of proportion something that isn't so or you are just a deceitful cheater who sees something creep in on the way you cheat in the game and calling you out for it.
