[QUOTE="pming, post: 6829756, member: 45197"] Hiya. [MENTION=6775149]krakistophales[/MENTION] ; Er, looking at the other threads you started, I think what you are saying in all of them boils down to this: [I]Looking at Class A, it sucks mechanically and numbers wise at the Combat one-third of the 5e D&D game. Therefore it sucks at ALL of the game and is totally baffling to me why anyone would play one.[/I] Kind of like multiplying anything by 0. "Looking at Class A, multiply by 0, and for some reason the answer keeps coming up 0 for me. In other words, it sucks". You seem to be [I]TOTALLY and COMPLETELY[/I] missing the other two thirds of the game (or, any number other than 0) not to mention the whole idea of an "interesting character with a personality, desires, and role-playing side of things". Maybe if you rephrased your questions to be more specifically oriented towards ONLY combat and how a class relates to another on purely mechanical/numbers/combat classes would help avoid any..."disheartening replies" from some people. Because otherwise you will continue to be dazed and confused as to why someone would want to play a one-armed halfling Champion with a 12 Strength and 12 Dex who was left for dead at the bottom of a charnel pit outside the Evil City of Bleakness (re: because he/she would be a fun and interesting character to play...in case you were confused again). ^_^ Paul L.
