[QUOTE="Paraxis, post: 6349134, member: 13009"] Yes you can cast mage armor but then you are down a spell slot or two a day. Attack bonus is the same so no comparison. Damage, so far from what we have seen the two-handed strength based fighter types win out in DPR hands down. Initiative, only matters round 1 since it is a loop, if initiative is rolled every round it might matter more but it is not. Ranged attacks, that is what your spells are for. Stealth and other rogue skills are nice but you are not the skill monkey you are the fighter/mage guy. The best reason given so far to me is Dexterity is one of the best saves in the game. But in a white room if the DPR of a two-handed strength based EK is better than a finesse rapier using EK, I will pick the strength based one every time. All I am asking is for the game to give me a numbers reason to play the character I want to play which is a studded leather/chain shirt wearing rapier using guy who can cast a spell and swing a sword in the same round.
