[QUOTE="TwinBahamut, post: 3697895, member: 32536"] I think people would question the fairness and balance of things, regardless of whether they are balanced or not. It is a new system that is quite different from what came before, treading into the realm of older classes, and it works great. It works so great that it forces some to consider whether the status quo of classes was balanced. Of course people are going to ask whether it is balanced, the way people [i]still[/i] argue about the balance of the PHB classes. It doesn't mean there is much to find. In my current Eberron game, I am playing a Warblade, and so far, my most abusive and unbalanced actions have involved a mistake over the power of flasks of oil. The duskblade in the party is probably stronger in the short battles of that campaign, and the party psion is easily comparable to my character. The last major member of the party isn't even designed as a combat character, so I don't think he minds if I am stronger than him. Overall, I just think it is a good book. Trust me, 1-on-1 duels between Martial Adepts are more interesting than between two fighters, and the classes are very fun to play, but they are not terribly overpowering. [/QUOTE]
