I mean, Infernal Constitution isn't too shabby. Resistance to Fire, Cold, and Poison at Level One is great, if you ask me.

For the record, that is not my claim. That is not my argument. I have been very clear about my claim. Players who want this simply...

That's a fair point. We don't know. And I already conceded that my opinion may not match most players. The truth is, we don't know. Not...

There is a good reason not to do it your way. Sense. It doesn't make sense for soldier to grant any stat. It makes sense for it to...
