[QUOTE="Ranger5, post: 1459462, member: 17981"] Well [B]Prothall[/B] it actually works and yes, I would agree that the fighter does have a little bit of extra power in the first few levels but it definitely does even out with evryone else by about 7th or 8th level. I actually played a fighter to 14th level before the campaign ended and I was using a greatsword as my main weapon. And I can honetsly tell you, the halfling cleric of Avoreen using a Sunblade and casting Righteous Might, Divine Power, Montrous Regeneration, and Favor of Avoreen (really Illmater in the [I]Magic of Faerun[/I]) did a hell of a lot more damage than I did. Of course it took him a couple of rounds to kick off all those spells while I was attacking so I would say in the end, it evened out. And [B]DrSpunj[/B] I would love to see your spreadsheet.
