Message: <blockquote data-quote="Remathilis" data-source="post: 3709765" data-attributes="member: 7635">The typically perceived drawback to the major core classes, and REAL drawback to each.BARBARIAN:* Perceived: A warrior who isn't skilled (lack of feats), and is lightly armored that deals and takes punishment.* Real: A guided missile on legs that if it doesn't kill the enemy, it will take enough damage that ending its rage will kill it. BARD: * Perceived: Jack of all trades, master of none.* Real: You guys do your things, I'll just stand in the shadows and help you look cool.CLERIC:* Perceived: Spells focused on defense, so that the cleric can buff and fight as needed.* Real: Ok, who needs healing THIS round?DRUID* Perceived: Awesome natural powers held back by neutral ethic and limited armor.* Real: Ok, who needs healing THIS round?

I'll sit back here and watch guys.Sorcerer:* Perceived: I know few spells, but I can cast them all day long!* Real: No, I don't know that spell. Or that one. Or that one either. Wizard: * Perceived: I have fewer spells, but I can learn them all!* Real: No, I don't have that spell memorized. Or that one. Or that one either.
