[QUOTE="xigbar, post: 5943494, member: 6673175"] Errr, no. The wizard/sorcerer still has too many ways they can simply get become immune to the enemy fighter. The wizard doesn't have to spend ANY money countering what the fighter can, where the fighter has to spend money to find a way to fly and see invisible and hit ethereal and break through walls of iron. That has changed relatively little from Pathfinder. I....don't think Ac and saves are a reason casters are much better than melee classes. The problems is in fact that casters have so many ways they can harm melee classes without targetting AC and saves. This actually makes secondary combatants weaker. Your dual dagger wielding rogue may theoretically have a damage output around my Spiked Chain fighter's, but the DR takes a bite out of each of your weaker swings. Also, continues the assumption that AC is a problem, and that I would target a dragon's AC. Where are PCs getting +5 Attack Bonus for extra attacks, if you've eliminated base attack bonus? This needs to be explained more, and to me makes it sound like you want it to be harder to hit enemies...which is a bad idea, as melee needs all the help they can get in that department. This would actually be an interesting houserule; However, read the Monster Manual entry for Hydra or Giant Squid, and tell me if you still think this is balanced. DR is neither something I or any of my players have ever had any trouble following. Maybe for some people, but, more importantly, numerical damage is still not an issue that needs fixing. NO. I'm not going to make the classes most badly in neat of feats waste them simply to use a skill. Additionally, most skills are not broken in their own right, except, occasionally, Diplomacy, and, in the case of Incantatrix, Spellcraft. That's fine. Fine. This is a step in the right direction. A simpler solution would be to out right ban Gate, Lesser/Planar Ally, Polymorph and Shapechange. It doesn't address all of the buff spells and battlefield control casters can use to simply be unkillable, and teleportation spells to be anywhere, anytime. [/QUOTE]
