More strawman arguments. Had they an article that said "The wizard can stand toe to to with the fighter, and cast spells through every attack the fighter can lay onto him", I'd have the same reaction. No class should be able to stand in front of the wizard and "absorb the damage of, and...

I don't expect a wizard to survive a fighter beating on him for a few rounds. I don't expect a wizard to survive a rogue smacking him around for a few rounds, or a cleric or a ranger I don't expect a fighter to survive the entire arsenal a wizard can unleash in 10-12 rounds. No class should be...

And save or die? I notice you left that out. His comment does not allow for save or die does it? Wizards are also apparently unable to do 300-400 total pts of damage with every single of their spells, as a fighter can stand there and absorb all of their most damaging spells and keep fighting.

I don't think it gets much clearer than what Mike himself said. EVERY SPELL and keeps fighting. Wizard is out of spells = easy fighter kill.

Yes we can assume that. It specifically says a high level fighter can shrug off ALL of the spells a high level wizard can toss at him and keep fighting. ALL. This means either A) Fighters are immune to magic. or B) Save or Die doesn't exist And FYI, I play clerics about 80% of the time...

It says he can take every spell a wizard can throw at him, and keep fighting. Not that he can win 50% of the time, or that he has to pin the wizard down or lose. It specifically said ALL of the wizards spells, and continue to fight.

So we can assume from this that all of the HOLD spells are out. Because a bad roll would allow the wizard to potentially kill the fighter, no save or die exist anymore, charms are also out, Wish doesn't exist, etc. So...basically, play a fighter. Yah, no thanks.

So...how are they equal if the wizard is incapable of beating the fighter? If a 20th level fighter can take every spell a 20th level wizard can throw and continue to fight on, it sounds like a 20th level fighter is nigh-unkillable or they are going anti-3.5 and making the fighter (the easiest...

I bought 90% of the 3.5 books. I bought 90% of the D&D novels put out in the 2000s (pre-4e). I bought between 3 and 5 cases of every single minis set they put out before 4e. I participated in every pre-release tournament for minis. We drove all over playing in various minis tournaments...

100K subscribers is less than 5% of the people playing D&D 25 years ago. How many of those are paid, vs given away for taking part in events and such? More things we don't know, meaning # of subscribers is just as "useless" as the reports from reputable monitoring companies that PF was...

I'm sorry you completely missed my point. I don't think the higher ups in Hasbro could give two squats if they have a good game. They care that they see former customers spending their money elsewhere. Whether that is $1000 or 50 cents is immaterial. If they could make money with a terrible...

More like "we are sorry we lost so many customers who have money"

Fairly useless, except to find out what 4e players and the 5% of older edition players who happen to see the polls somewhere else and take part, want. The people they need to come back in order for 5e to succeed, don't frequent the website anymore. I know I stopped going (and just...

Not a fan. I don't need lizards with chesticles or poor misunderstood emo-tieflings. I hope they reconsider and modulize them.

I don't say the designers, nor were they mentioned. Hasbro, on the other hand... A smaller company has smaller needs, especially privately held ones. 2 million in profits for a smaller company is fine, if D&D were only to bring in 2 million for Hasbro a year, how long do you think it would last?

D&D being run by a smaller company (not small, just smallER) would be a huge benefit to the brand, imo. Some privately held company who can focus on D&D and it's associated properties, and less about shareholders and profit returns. The game, if not messed with, diluted and devalued by asinine...

Wizards, for the OGL making it possible.

Another person on record of hating the 4e transition with the spellplague and such ;)

If you can't trust the remaining designers (both 4e people) to look after 4e...well...not sure what else you want. (Besides 4.5e)

I do. Shame on him :mad:
