[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8534053, member: 6987520"] Yeah it is, but because of that wouldn't it be more impactful for the non-martials to [I]feel[/I] how and when they become inadequate, so they understand the price they pay for their power is they can become ineffective later? That was the trade-off in earlier editions. I know a lot of people want "it all" now, but that was part of what made playing a magic-user in AD&D so much fun. The challenge of surviving the lower levels so you could reap the harvest of power later on... Now, you already have the power, and depending on your caster class you are just as good as a martial (for the most part) in tier 1. :( [/QUOTE]
