From Elmore's perspective, he painted a man. That is true. So? Is Elmore pissed and offended about the variant, or just surprised? The article says "WizKids also points out that their depiction of the Red Box Warrior is "purposefully and clearly" presented as a woman." Not that the character...

Not all people who say sexist things think they are saying sexist things. It doesn't have to be intentional. I'm not saying he is sexist. But many sexists don't identify as sexists either. The world just has to look at how they say things, and how they handle being challenged when their...

Shouldn't this be called the 14th Age?

I really hope the optional combat maneuvers in the DMG are put in the PH, just like Chris and Jeremy recently said that things like "breaking an object" and "perceiving illusions" will be more front and center in the PH. If it is a player action, please let it be in the PH. Heck, put some...

I'm curious. Do you really not care what things are called? Would you care about the name showing up in a book if you didn't like it? For instance, we can rename Clerics as Spellbeggars, which is closer to what they do than "clerical work." Warlocks can be "Invokers" because that is literally...

All a Fighter "Warlord" subclass needs is a broad "Maneuver/Exploit" system, similar to the Battle Master or Invocations, and a few support abilities at subclass levels. Many special ability concepts/ideas can exist, but individual Warlords don't get them all. They have to choose from the...

Sure, Wizards gets cool magical spell options, but not all at once. They are limited by design, including by spell slots (and it seems you are assuming some of those slots are being saved for noncombat purposes), 1 spell per round, concentration, and enemy saving throws, legendary saves, and...

Which is covered by Subclasses. You have decent combat experience by L3, and by that time are expanding into a more advanced focus.

It's so many things people disagree about. The divide between Narrativist, Simulationist, Gamist, Verisimilitude, and other perspectives of "Warlord" as a concept, both in name and function. Shouting at peers and strangers to do as you command? Who in the franksnbeans are you, L1 half-assed...

Don't maneuvers and weapon masteries automatically scale as Fighters get higher level and get more attacks? The multiple attacks are the power increase. The maneuvers and masteries are the tactical option increase.

Words are the MOST important part of rules and stories. Names DEFINE things. And if they don't define a thing correctly, people will not be happy.

But I doubt those are the purist Warlord fans, who are the ones Wizards left behind with 5E.

I agree with the lich. I was a Warlord fan. It was my first 4E character and I loved supporting the party. But what I realized is that I liked the abilities, and really wanted those leadership abilities to be available to any class. One playtest concept I really hoped stuck (but didn't) was for...

I fail to see how it is a problem. People have the Warlord classes they want, through 3rd parties. Apparently all those "Warlords" are good to perfect. If that were the case, the only thing WotC could do is make their own version that people will criticize as not as good as the third party...

Yeah. That's a problem that many people bring up. It's not the defense you think it is.
