[QUOTE="jbear, post: 5631840, member: 75065"] I'm not sure what weight you hope to give your argument be calling me a dick. The fact you place 'kind of' in front of it doesn't change the fact that you've resorted to insults. For a start, a character with training in athletics, endurance and perception will do just fine in a deadly skill challenge. When the walls start closing in the bard can talk to it or hide in the corner all he likes and he's still going to be crushed. A deadly challenge will almost always involve physical skills, especially the ones your fighter is trained in. Secondly, a fighter is involved more in combat than a bard, in my humble opinion. If he does his job right he'll get into the thick of things and pin down the largest amount of enemies possibly to make them all attack him. A fighter is cool undr pressure when swarmed. A bard will quickly be sent on his way towards death if this happens. I'm not being a dick, as you suggest, I'm pointing out the fact that their are differences between classes. Some are stronger in some areas than others. Including in the amount if skills they train. This doesn't make turning up the dail of lethality on skill challenges somehow unfair for some and not for others. Bards are capable in combat. But I do think that a fighter is slightly more capable. That's my opinion. And I couldn't really care less what you think about that at this point. [/QUOTE]
