What feats?

On a more positive note, at least it mentions the Marshal can take warlord powers.

Very happy that almost nothing got changed. Few Updates and some puff in the fluff.

Mr. Warlord got a new haircut and shiny new shoes and now can go clubbin' on wednesday nights. 

Thank you WoTC for all of what you didn't do to it.

Um, why on earth wouldn't it be able to? It is the frigging warlord. Or were you worried it would get a build that murders out the encounter and daily powers? Thankfully that was never the intent.

It does make me acknowledge canceling the CC was a good idea: It was pretty much nothing new and would have had howls for blood of "IT'S JUST 4.5!!!" even more. Releasing this as a free update is pretty awesome.

I'm newer so bare with me, but is there really a difference between the Warlord and a Marshal?  It looks like it just got some errata done to it.  Even the differences between the mage and the wizard were more noticable than this.  I like what can be done with subclasses (or whatever you want to call them), but it doesn't looke like much was done here.

It was detailed in a fighter preview for the originaly book.

The Marshal is the old warlord class.

The Warlord is now an Archetype, who's only class is Mashal.

The Fighter Archetype, as previewed, has the following classes:

Weaponmaster (the original fighter)

Knight

Slayer.

So, instead of the Knight/Slayer being weird 'builds' of the fighter that have nothing in common but feats/utiltities, they are all classes under the hat of the "Fighter"i dea.

That's because the PHB1 Warlord is now called the Marshal. They are the same thing for all intents and purposes. It's not a new Subclass, but it is a subclass on the newly minted Warlord Class tree.

And thank goodness for that!

The Warlord works just fine overall.  This is basically a reprint with clarifications, flavor text, and errata.

I think I get it now.  Seems unnecessary, but I get what they're trying to do.  I can also see why this book was cancelled.
