[QUOTE="machineelf, post: 7085081, member: 6774924"] Let me make one clarifying point here about my position. I don't think there should be zero balance. I just don't think there should be "perfect" balance when it comes to combat. I do think fighter types should be able to do a good amount of consistent damage. But not all classes should be great at fighting. The cleric shouldn't. The rogue shouldn't, really. The Wizard should be able to do amazing things, but they should have a limited pool where they can quickly run out of magic ability. But having said all that, there shouldn't be a huge disparity between the classes in combat, just some disparity. For the reasons you stated, each class should be fun to play in every level, with each class bringing something unique and interesting to the table. But that unique and interesting thing doesn't always have to be combat in equal measure with every other class. These are just my opinions, obviously. [/QUOTE]
