Sorry, I missed it.Iterative attacks are a method for helping melee guys scale with spell casters, but it's an awful one. Doing 6[W] with a single attack is much, much better (or close burst melee attacks, all with a single attack bonus). This is the point of my TWF example.Summoning and cohorts and animal companions that add to your action pool is thematic, and "simulationist" but is a nightmare at the table. Having your companions eat up your actions is much, much better, and doesn't scale completely out of control. Your turn takes about the same amount of time. Hence, Druid example.Long term buffs and the Christmas tree effect intersect with dispels in ways that are simply nasty at the table. Wiping out the animal buffs and making the rest have tight, defined durations means recalculating takes a few seconds, not hours. Disjunction example.Can you really see the only design changes as taking away options?PS</blockquote>
