[QUOTE="Ferrous, post: 4270994, member: 61796"] Warlords are controllers as well as clerics. It has to be remembered that two-handed weapons are not per se worse, they do deal more damage. What we are talking about is simply restricting options. Not all Fighters should have to take a shield. Not all clerics should have to take a two-handed weapon to be optimal. And because of the weird and punitive restrictions on Armour proficiencies you get situations where the 12 Strength Halfling Paladin can where Plate but his 18 Strength but 14 Con Dragonborn mate can't. As an aside I am glad to know that I am at least Strength and Constition 15 as I often run about in Plate (unless I am actually a Paladin!). I am confused why my Polearm is so heavy and unweildy though, surely my 6 year old niece should be able to wield it as it has no Strength restriction, but she can't even lift my hand and a half sword the slacker!
