Message: <blockquote data-quote="ZombieRoboNinja" data-source="post: 6019533" data-attributes="member: 54843">I have to agree with [MENTION=882]Chris_Nightwing[/MENTION] on the broad point here. An AEDU fighter class works in a completely different manner than the 5e at-will fighter class. If you wanted to fit both into the same game, you could, but all they'd really share was the name. They would play very differently.This isn't to say, though, that there's no room for fudging. Giving the 5e fighter a full suite of daily and encounter abilities would be a huge rewrite. But designing a specialty (or even prestige class) that adds one or two cool dailies or encounter powers could conceivably work quite well. The key point is that the basic mechanical design of the core class should be consistent and intact.I think the wizard encounter powers are at risk of crossing the line here. Can a level 5 evoker wizard really get 3 encounter powers (1 at each spell level)? That's more than the warlock, who doesn't also have a handful of dailies at his disposal. Are they all weaker than warlock invocations to make up for that? How much weaker can a power get than swearing at someone for 2d8 damage at level 5 (Baleful Utterance) while still being better than a cantrip?No other class in the current playtest gets to choose whether his powers are daily or encounter. Current wizards, sorcerers and clerics are all daily, left only with weak cantrips and basic attacks if they use up their spells; current fighters, rogues and warlocks are all encounter/at-will, going into every battle with the exact same resources except for HP/HD. Allowing specialized wizards to choose each day whether they want daily or encounter powers would be a big boon, which would both complicate the class and necessitate adjustments (nerfs) in other areas to keep them balanced against other builds</blockquote>
