[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 8784170, member: 23"] As someone who's played a RK and had a great time: 1: You are still a fighter. You have abilities that make you bigger and better at grappling, do more damage, resist more damage... and a lot of the "magical abilities" are protective, allowing you to defend you party better -the RK is probably the best [I]tank[/I] amongst the fighter (better than the cavalier). It [I]is[/I] a "magical fighter" - same as the EK - but with a more primal feel, less "I spent a semester at wizard school". 2: The Runes are in the fluff. It's just that though - it could have been special crystals, alchemical extracts, etc etc. BUT having Runes that work in a [I]mechanical[/I] way is quite challenging. As far the knight... that complain is valid for a lot of subclasses. 3: Giants are boring? Eh, they could be better, but I played in SKT and it was interesting. 4: That is an [I]excellent[/I] point - and I give rune powers to giant "leaders". You know, to make them more interesting. 5: Balancing giants as a playable race is a nightmare. How many hp do you have at level 1? 3.X tried (somewhat) and it was wonky. 6: Could the runes be better? Yes. Could they be more balanced? Yes, but that's why level gating some of them was necessary I suppose. It is strange that the hill giant is so strong but here we are. 7: It's a ribbon feature, calm down ;) 8: Once again, a valid complaint that is valid about a number of other subclasses... [/QUOTE]
