[QUOTE="Wiseblood, post: 5903058, member: 42437"] And if the fighter is not present, who then is the defender? I certainly do not scorn protecting one another. I scorn the construction of such a generic and basic class to serve one function. If by squishy do you mean the other guy wearing heavy armor that can heal? Is it the guy that has been flanking the enemy in their midst and who seems to scorn formatrion. Perhaps it's the guy that can fly and become invisible and is mostly immune to weapons. Who shall the fighter defend? These guys are capable of defending themselves. Do not try to shoehorn the fighter into being a pesky obstacle that prevents the bad guys from getting to the stars of the show. Also the assumption that there are squishies needs to be erased otherwise we are right back where we started with classes. we will need one of each to cover our bases and someone getting stuck as the band-aid, someone as the Babysitter, the Trap finder and the artillery.
