[QUOTE="Meatboy, post: 5802995, member: 40857"] I think a problem with this line of thinking is the assumption that non-casters = no magic. For every spell that a caster slings their is probably a magic item that counters it or goes around it. For years I derided the "walking equipment rack" fighter that I feel typifies 3e dnd at higher levels. That is until I started reading some of the inspirational sources for dnd Howard, Vance etc. In them you rarely find the warrior types squaring off against demons, wizards or other supernatural threats without some kind of edge. If Conan doesn't have a magic sword, artifact or is himself enchanted by a wizard in some way and he meets some slavering pit monster he runs. Even in Superhero stuff batman can defeat superman, but he needs a kryptonite ring to do so. Remember a wizards magic is internal a fighters magic is external. [/QUOTE]
