[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3068928, member: 35788"] I don't. The pouint about the Fb is some small paragraph near the end of the column. If I wasn't looking for it, I'd have quit reading already! The article spends a considerable amount of time dealing with the wealth level of the party, how to set up future encounters so as to not make the wealth issue even worse, and even how to choose monsters that make the special abilities of any unbalanced characters seem less important. To me, the article was jam-packed with serious mature advice from most likely a well-versed DM. I thought the article was sound. Besides, any time someone comes out with a FB build and complains about balance, the FB is going to draw a comment. The class just has a bunch of debate that comes with it as baggage. It's akin to asking about alternate paladin abilities. Somewhere along the line someone is going to argue the alignment restriction even though I didn't originally ask about it. It might not be what the original question asked, but the article writer is wise to address the issue. He doesn't even ever say the FB is broken! He merely says that DMs need to take control. Again, I think this is an example of a mature well-thought out approach by a WotC employee. I liked the article. It had many good things to say. Kudo's for the author covering as many bases as he did. EDIT: Totally as an aside, though. It is a free advice column on an internet website. It isn't like the advice is paid for! I think it is pretty darn cool that WotC has this service available in the first place, personally. [/QUOTE]
