[QUOTE="WhosDaDungeonMaster, post: 7521236"] That is pretty rude. I asked for feedback and many people have been very good about expressing themselves without being snarky. If you don't like my discussion, comments, etc. then please don't post to the thread. Thank you. Even though it might have only been a point (or more with Specialization later on) in 1E, it still wasn't the same. One of my possible changes would be reducing the Prof Bonus from d6 HD classes by two. At 1st-level a Fighter shouldn't be a god in hitting compared to non-warriors, but he should be better IMO. Then how did he learn how to use the weapons, armor, Fighting Style, etc.? I am not saying he had decades, but given the starting ages for many 1st-level characters, he likely had 4-6 years or more of training somewhere (parent, army, city watch, etc.). No, that was not my complaint at all. It was this: It was just about the chance of hitting at 1st-level. With the numbers from your post, they have the same chance to score a hit. Sure, due to better weapons and Fighting Style, a Fighter can deal more damage, but that wasn't my point. But FYI, when you take away a dagger and let the wizard cast shields, he will still likely lose, but about 17-20% of the time he wins. With Burning Hands, he wins about 40% of the time. Hardly. Since you seem to not get my point of view, I suggest you let it go unless you have something more constructive to offer. [/QUOTE]
