[QUOTE="Cevalic, post: 4234520, member: 171"] Im not saying anything about a wizard using spells to attack. Obviously they should have a decent attack with their spells. What I'm talking about is that if a fighter and a wizard of equal levels with equal strength pick up a sword, the fighter should be much more deadly with it than the wizard. The only reason I say strength is equal, is because Im trying to say that the fighter should be twice as good as a wizard with a weapon. Thats what fighters do. It seems like everything was made for the sake of balance, even if reason doesnt back it up. That said, I guess Ill have to wait for the core books to come out. I had read something not to long ago in someones blog (cant remember who) about every class being a spell caster and now I think its starting to sink in. Anyone also know why gained HP are fixed? Did they ever say why they went that route in one of those preview books? Kind of curious of that too. Oh, and one other concern I forgot to throw in, even if I dont go with 4e: I hope that if each individual plane gets covered like the Feywild, ect. that the books arent just the 160 page splatbooks. There is so much they could put in one of those, that anything less than 224 seems like a cop out. The extra 10 would be well worth it. My 2 cents. Thanks for the quick responses. [/QUOTE]
