[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6896789, member: 15700"] Wait a second. I think we need to back up because I have no idea what you're arguing any more. I argued that you didn't need to give fighters magic items to offset a monster's resistance like you might have felt you had to in earlier editions because in 5e, you still inflict damage regardless. You're not neutered like you were with complete immunity. Then it seemed to me like you were arguing that that argument shortchanges casters because it's OK for fighters [i]to be offensively worthless[/i] from time to time. And my point is that that would be a double standard. With powerful at wills, casters are now never offensively neutered, so why would it be OK to neuter once set of classes, but not the casters? The only time I would agree that it's OK for fighters to be neutered (and the caster picks up the slack), is like in earlier editions without at will magic, because it was a back and forth depending on scenario. some times, the casters couldn't do anything. Sometimes the fighters couldn't and the casters could. In either cases, casters are not shortchanged in any way. Not sure why you think my statement does so. [/QUOTE]
