[QUOTE="Patlin, post: 1713038, member: 17264"] Hopefully if you're tired of this topic by now, you'll just skip this thread. I think it would be interesting to come at this from a different angle. Thanee and others have indicated that the results are skewed in the Psychic Warrior's favor at high level, and it takes an awful lot of work to participate fully with all that equipment to buy. How about the following: You've just escaped from being captured. You've recovered your choice of either a two handed weapon, a weapon and shield combo, or a dual wield combo. If you use ammunition, you have 20 arrows, bolts, or whatever. You have no other equipment whatsoever. You are either a fighter 6 or a psychic warrior 6, your choice. Use 30 point buy, max hp at level one and enhanced average every level thereafter (5hp + con for d8, 6 + con for d10)None of the equipment recovered is enchanted or even masterwork, it's just normal stuff. While trying to escape, you encounter several monsters. After each encounter, 5 minutes pass before you are attacked again. The encounters are as follows: 1: 2 Bugbears 2: 1 Minotaur 3: 1 Ghast 4: 1 Troll All monsters exactly as they appear in the SRD. If you are victorious in all 4 encounters, start over from encounter 1. All monsters are immediately hostile, retreat is utterly impossible by DM fiat. How many do you kill before the infinite stream of monsters brings you down? Use random numbers as normal, on the honor system, and post how you did and as what class, along with any details on your build you wish to share. What I would predict is that the psychic warrior will start off strong, but that the fighter will show more endurance. Let's see... [/QUOTE]
