[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 16128, member: 307"] [B][/b] Umm, I still don't see why this is such a shocking revelation to you. Essentially most of your initiative bonuses come from two sources: high Dexterity and a handful of possible feats (the only one in the PHB being Improved Initiative). Fighters have a huge incentive to maintain a high Dexterity. Many combat skills rely upon Dexterity (AC bonuses, reflex saves, ranged attacks and so on). Most fighters that I have seen have Dexterity pegged as an important statistic. Fighters have tons of feats. Improved Initiative is one of the available fighter bonus feats. Of the fighters I have seen in play, about half of them have had the Improved Initiative feat. Simply put, a fighter can much more easily afford to spend a feat on this sort of thing. Your stubborn refusal to consider that there would be lots of fighters with a higher Initiative bonus than many rogues is essentially asinine. [b][/b] Yeah? And? Oh, you are thinking that the Wizard will exhaust the possibilities of their class skill list or something. Sorry, never happen. The Wizard list is quite extensive when you start factoring in the wide array of Knowledge skills that a typical Wizard is likely to want to have. There is absolutely no reason for a Wizard with a high intelligence score to have fewer total skill ranks overall than many rogues. Of course, since these sorts of things don't fit your erroneous preconceived notions, you will disregard them and proceed to complain that no one understands your brilliance or something. [/QUOTE]
