If I memorize the right spells Im doing pretty good, if not, well guys I hope your swords are sharp because all I got is charm magic left and these undead don't seem too dazzled by me.For me balance is a vague concept, sure no one played the bard in my campaign, but was that cause of the music thing or because he was weak?  Lets give him a bit of a boost and see what happens.  I felt that the cleric in 3.5 was a lil too much,  what with armor weapons and spells, maybe we could prune his spell list a bit.   But when balance becomes numerical, and illusions, diviniations and skills just dont fit into the model balance has gone too far.   I want a druid who laughs at the forest, but is weaker in the city.   And I want classes that are jack of all trades, good at a number of things but master of none.   I want a variety of choices that are allowed to be good in some situations, and worse in others.</blockquote>
