[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 3046434, member: 7883"] I might get a third opinion. But I wouldn't necessarily place more weight on the argument of the guy who says it's a deathtrap than I do on the guy who gives it a good recommendation......I know that many people confuse shouting louder, and making more extreme statements with effectively arguing a position....especially on Internet message boards :). That is not a specific statement about any single person, so much as a general observation from the various message boards If *everyone* said something in the game is unbalanced, then yeah, I'd start to worry. But for everyone screaming that it's unbalanced, I'm finding someone else pointing out that there are reasons that maybe it's not so unbalanced afterall. The idea behind that decision being that there are people fighting both sides of the issue. And they're both bringing up valid points. So the answer must be somewhere in the middle. It's likely the abilities of the new martial adept classes are on the higher end of the power scale, but I doubt they're really "broken". Any class can be "broken" if a player sets the character up properly, or is lucky on the dice. I've had more character deaths or near character deaths from having the party fighter get dominated and turn against the other PCs than just about any other combination of events. Fighters are lethal characters...I think moreso than some of the people claiming "unbalanced" in this argument, are giving them credit for. Banshee [/QUOTE]
