[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 5908818, member: 67338"] I would like to point out that some fighters were really great. I played in a game as a wizard, who totaly envied the fighter. The Dm had us going agianst a mage guild, with clerics to the gof of magic as his main forces. So in any given fight we expected 2-3 casters at min. The fighter had the wole mage slayer set of feats, stand still, a large imp crit spike chain, roblars gambit, and combat reflexes with a VERY high dex. Once he got in close to the casters he shut them down... it was awsome. I also DMed for a 3.5 game where the fighter Archer who had 1 or 2 levels of rouge constantly out damaged pretty much the whole rest of the party put togather. Now would both of those have been better if they didn't have to fight up hill to get there...YES. Was the fighter unfairly burdaned with the mundane well others got to be super stars...MAYBE. Have people enjoyed fighters since the begining of the game...YES. I have found that groups that do not have the problem with Martial/Caster are the luckyones, and if anything the ones playing the game as intended. The problem is that once Pandora's box of caster win is opened, it is hard to go back. [/QUOTE]
