[QUOTE="Drowbane, post: 5886750, member: 23396"] Psionics can (to my experience) outshine the Big 5 in limited ways, but are inferior in all other ways and Warlocks are pretty gimp. Tome of Battle gives nice things to meleers, but some DMs just can't wrap their heads around non-casters getting nice things. A level 15th level Fighter (a creature I am assured exists some where - my experience shows such a beast to more likely be a Fighter 4 / Barbarian 1 / PrC Y...) can do just as much (if not more) damage as a 15th level Warblade. Warblades just do it with more style. Pre-4e D&D makes no claims to "balance". I have known that Wizards rule (A)D&D for over 20 years, and yet I have played my share of "non-casters". Why? Because Thieves and Fighters (and fighter/thieves) are fun to play in their own way, not because I had any delusional expectation that at high level I would be as potent (relevant?) as the guy who can B-slap reality whenever reality gets out of line.
