I agree that there is no logical reason as to why the fighter should have less skills/equal number of skills to certain classes, the fighter would have more time to pick up skills than a spell caster and they have no real advantages over more physical based characters such as the paladin...

To be honest at this point most things are coverrd with archetypes with a bit of imagination. More feats would be a better way to go if its to add additional character options, perhaps add a mechanic or two. One archetype for the paladin I can think of is a self augmentation build that allows...

Likewise to your response.

I tend to go for the offensive option but consider defence through alternative means such as considering position i.e. going to an adjacent square that is not adjacent to the enemy and then if the enemy dies back off with remainder of movement to create distance from the remaining enemies/ take...

I wish I could give this comment more xp

I might give this a go actually if I get a tougher group to manage, been pretty lucky because my players get along and can agree on most things so far but there have been times this could have been handy in previous campaigns

Regardless of class I think you guys might like to be a odd job duo so you can change the theme/focus of the jobs you do i.e. you could be detectives one week and pest control (that goes wrong fast with ankhegs) the next

A fair point. Of course a foe could be very strong and nullified by a spell like wall of force as it stops most things short of a disintegrate or counterspell which not every npc will have. Of course that's one spell and a lot of spell casters don't have access to it; in general I don't think...

Equally you are presuming the world will suddenly have a equal level challenge around every corner, this is not reflective of the world typically. Yes the Dm should increase the frequency of challenges as it is they who controls the narrative, but a player might think why has every npc suddenly...

Well in the circumstance I given you that did not happen because the correct item was taken, it was not a example of what could happen. It did happen. Also I have done tomes of horror and the same campaign where I used the wall of force we were going against 3-4 death knights and liches per...

Depends on how much you are going to put into strength. If your cleric is going to have good strength in point buy then you may want to select a flame-tongue sword to make use of the tempest martial weapons features and deal nice damage without using spells with some extra utility bonuses from...

*Tears in eyes* a real patriot.

The problem with this logic is that it does not include downtime activities/ preparation where a few spells will be sufficient before they are recharged. Also a experienced player will find ways to win without fighting to begin with (Wall of force has stopped so many combats taking place), a...

Choose a adventuring life. Choose a class. Choose an archetype. Choose a group of other players. Choose a flipping powerful magic item. Choose potions, backbacks, rations and tools…. Choose being in a guild and wondering who the flip you are being paid by. Choose being set on fire by your...

Did anything I state imply that I would allow your so called opposite scenario to happen? Did it not occur to you that I would also find this scenario unacceptable? Has it occurred to you I have never even seen your scenario take place because no one I have played with would reach to that level...

It probably depends on your play group, I help run a gaming club and I tend to find that the younger/anti social ones (the irony is not is upon me that these people come to a social club and take such an approach) pick the rogue. They tend to be the people who want to just steal everything and...

Tough one, it feels like there is a lot of problems with fighter in terms of features as in they feel lacking; having said that however the ones I played always pull their weight in a group and are a blast to play, so obviously something is going right with them. I am going to say fighter...

I am not sure how a game system such as d&d can avoid having a mastery of the system, the point to features of a class is to shift the probability of success for certain actions (if not outright make it so you character can not fail in a given action i.e. rogues reliable talent). A person who...

You nailed it on the head. I played a jedi force user in d20 star wars and it was simply too powerful, what made it worse I think was that this character somewhat forced the DM to acknowledge that this jedi stands out amongst the jawa engineer, the wookie melee fighter and the witty lying...
