The problem with the main assertion OP is putting forward is that the comparisons fall flat. The wizard is basically the best at all of the above. The sorcerer's mechanics are crazy weak compared to the disparity in spells, and the warlock gets even fewer - essentially living off of a single...

Hey with regards to the doubling of movement. I had always understood it that when you have two things (or more) that double your movement they actually only add. So for example a tabaxi rogue can dash cunning-dash and tabaxi racial for the equivalent of 3 "double your movement". I had...

Hey thanks for that last reply I enjoyed reading it. I can't comment on 4e but I certainly would like things to more equal but different. With regards to the manouvers having different sources I don't agree. In my ideal world they'd all stack so that your fighting style could have manouvers...

So I ignored it last time with the rapier comment but you're​ being painfully pedantic again. We're trying to have a discussion here and that type of deliberate misconstrual of what I meant (the large number of effects and abilities provided by spellcasting which of course as I have been talking...

Meanwhile the martial classes are straight up BARRED from the spells. So they can't even attempt it.

It's actually a lot easier to take advantage of the environment as a caster as well, but that's a good point with regards to overcoming it via superior GMing. However from a game design perspective thats less than ideal and there's still precious little to represent things like disarming...

Imean I play battlemasters​ so I do all kinds of :):):):). Without variant rules you can also do what, grapple or shove?

I just want there to he options to do things other than straight attacks as a martial character. Battlemaster is great but it's literally the only non spellcasting martial class with in combat utility. Meanwhile the wizard can fireball one turn and hold person the next while being considered...

This is a false equivalence. Adding more spells quite clearly complicates the "weapon" of spellcasting by virtue of adding more options.

I do know DMs, particularly when using pre written modules, that for better or worse do exactly this.

If by several, you mean one? Or are you referring to the push/shove action which every character can do? My issue is with how they've pigeonholed every martial class's turn into "I swing with my weapon". Meanwhile spellcasters can do that while getting all of these other options. I would...

Do you then think that magic should also be simplified? If no, why do you feel that one deserves to have depth of choice but not the other?
