I really like playing a fighter. And playing a fighter is nice except for the fact that the average D&D game ist not only "I'm standing here hitting things". Fighters had nearly no skillpoints in 3E and could basically just stupidly stand there and hit things and even for doing that they needed...

That idea is similar to what I had in mind. Spear/Polearm attacks can push, 2h swords auto cleave, Flails can trip and so on. I think that is the right way to go. And a fighter should not need to invest feats to gain those advantages.

I don't need to be won over. I will buy the 3 core rules anyway because I want to see the new rules 1st hand. And its new and shiny. This has been the case so far for 3.x and 4E. Because no edition so far has ever felt perfect, so testing the next edition never seemed like a bad idea. The one...

Nice analogy. But largely flawed. A 4E Ranger in his right mind would never trade Magic Missile against his Twin Shot. He would be rather MAD doing it and to deal any damage he would need an implement. Furthermore, combat is most of the time rather short 4-8 rounds. As long as the ranger...

Correct me if I'M wrong we're currently discussing two problems: 1) Wizard flavor: you want more, like specialist wizards 2) Wizards dealing damage: you don't want low level wizards to be good at it in any way (at-wills and crossbows are too good) for a prolonged period i.e several encounters...

In my opinion there is nothing wrong with Magic Missile damage = Crossbow damage. If that much damage is already a problem there should be very strict laws restricting the possibility of carrying all kinds of mundane weapons in the public. I don't want to imagine what a Barbarian with a 2h...

I can't say much about 2E but for 3.x the disparity starts to get greater with every level past 9, I'm probably rather generous with my estimation of level 9, might be as soon as level 7. For 4E that problem has been largely toned down b/c a Wizard (CLR/DRD) has not all spells that exist at his...

And yet, you believe they will get class "balance" right featuring Vancian casting. I have to admire your outright positive way in which you believe in WotCs ability to finetune things. I simply have to.

I'm not saying that I insist that the Wizard of 5E will be the Wizard of 3.x - but what I say is, if it turns out that the 5E Wizard = 3.x than I fear Fighters and all not so magical characters get shafted again. Again, I do not insist - I just fear. I dearly hope you are a singularity with...

I'm supporting the idea that a fighter should be able to go beyond the scope of the mundane. At the same time I would strongly support a module for a low magic fantasy setting where fighters can't do gravity defying stunts and are rather mundane. But whatever the setting a daily resource for...

Even so I'm hoping that the Fighter (and other non-casters) will outclass the Wizard in certain fields of expertise I still fear - remember they promised Vancian casting - that said Vancian casting will put those that have access to it beyond the scope of capability of those that don't have...

If you are a mounted charger you always fail the reqirement.

To the one who fears it takes two rounds for the knight to get started: Round 1: Minor: Aura Move >> Minor: Stance Standard: Charge (use your pimped MBA) if enemy is more than 1 square away, MBA if enemy is adjacent. Seems fine.

Why not just reflavor your weapon and stick with the current rules system. Describe your cool sword but use the stats for a waraxe or whatever you want. Or for multi-attacks, I heard they need a boost b/c multi-[W]-attacks are so superior and will be even more superior with static bonuses. ;)

Obviously he needs a punishment feature but you are aware that we don't know what several things do in the adavancement table in the article like: Battle guardian Weapon Talent Shield Finesse Combat Readiness Weapon Mastery Weapon Specialization Shield block Greater Combat Readiness or what...

The important thing is you can make STR secondary, tertiary, or drop it allcompletely which was impossible (there were one or more ways but hey...) prior to this MBA machine.

Maybe you should have looked at this as well: By level 6 the DEX is far from being good. Less DEX means less initiative which means less chance of going first => less CA => less damage. No defensive gear means that hitting him won't be hard especially with the low DEX. --- If you want to...

So far I'm interessted and I like to see more of this "knight" class. I can't really say how much I like it. CharOp has a thread on this article as well (Essential Fighter: Knight ) and they have differing views as well. They have noticed the possibility of dropping STR and going CON +...

If you read two guides and they contradict each other but one is written by lordduskblade follow that guide. That guy has solid knowledge of what he is doing.
