FR has enjoyed a better life thanks its creator always worked with TSR+WotC, and also thanks videogames like Baldur's Gate and Newerwinter Night. Not all the D&D videogames should ba BG clones. * How would be a fantasy mash-up of A-Team in Eberron?

A warlord with magic-like powers to heal allies would be something like the battlemind class from 4ed or the ardent/divine mind class from 3.5. If a fantasy army would need magical healing, then instead a warlord a bard would be hired as drummer boy/fifer/bugler. A warlord shouldn't be...

A class isn't only a list of class features, but also the marks of identity, and also the subclasses should show their themself. I propose an exercise of imagination: Thanks a collab between WotC and Japanese novel self-publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō there is a literary contest. It has...

Sheenvault. The mechanical monsters known as sheens (Dragon magazine #258 and #270) have caused a lot of damage and suffering in lots of different worlds, but there is a special case. Before the History of the native sentient species in this world there was a war between the titanic primal...

A gish class can't be a spellcaster with ranged attacks and light armour because then that would be an update of warmage class. There is a serious risk gish/duskblade class to become obsolete if later there is an update of the martial adepts, and the swordsage would allow a faster reload of the...

I shouldn't give an opinion about the class features because I have no experience in the game really, but maybe this could help to show the point of a newcomer. In 5e the philosophy is easy to be understood by new players, simple rules for faster combats and fun gameplay (a list of buffs and...

Several years ago, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to Angelopolis underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a...

It would be very funny if the warlord class was asked in the future by fault of a CRPG where the main character is a "warlord" with a "harem" of "monster girls". I imagine the D&D warlord as the leader of a warband from some skirmishes miniature game style Mordheim, Warcry or Warhammer...

Maybe some archetypes are reserved to be later with new special game mechanics. For example the shaman like a druid's cousin is harder to be sold, but if the new shaman is a mixture of recycled version of vestige pact magic and incarnum totemist then they can sold a different class. If the...

Now I am thinking if the future warlord will be a class, then it will be with some magic-like power, style the ki-techniques or martial maneuvers by martial adepts. A "no-magic" warlord only could be a fighter subclass. Or maybe the warlord will be a subclass of the martial adepts.

The warlord class shouldn't be a simple cheeleader with armour. Even each subclass should show its own identity. If you want a "not magic but almost" healing, then I advice to recover the maneuvers of the White Raven school from "Tome of Battle: Book of Nine Swords". A true warlord can't be in...

Edign Darvis the bard is the leader of the group, but he is not a "warlord". Daenerys Targaryen from "Song of Fire and Ice" is more a true "warlady". Tyrion Lannister in the battle of Blackwater would be close example. I don't imagine a warlord without at least a squad to be leaded and guided.

Maybe it is not a new killer, but skins, for killers and survivors. The videogame has been designed for bipedal humanoids, and the beholder is too "fat" to go trought doors and windows. The dungeon could be a new zone, and this beholder would be one of the "traps".

I was thinking about the "healer heroes" from videogames, for example Mercy, Lucio, Ana, Zenyatta, Moira and Brigitte from "Overwatch". A true warlord shouldn't be only a walking magic-healer banner. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheLeader How would be a "warlord class"...

We use hit points not only in D&D but most of videogames. WotC has to choose about a possible update of the martial adept classes and the martial maneuvers. I mean if there is an update of the "martial maneuvers" then some classes from previus editions could be redesigned, for example the...
