In the minds of some people who think fighters should be the guy with the wooden spoon and colander helmet - effectively entirely useless after level 3 or so - maybe it's a 'goof'. I happen to actually like them being equivalent to other classes and not being wastes of space in the party. Being equivalent to everything else is sometimes a good thing and I will be extremely irritated if Wizards throw out what is - despite some warts - a very well balanced system across classes over 30 levels of play.I do agree with most of your other points to an extent, except for the point on monsters as the DM it's my responsibility to determine how they are used: Not wizards. I need stat blocks that I can use or draw inspiration from (like many in MM3). I don't need Wizards to tell me how to use monsters when I feel like it outside of combat - I need what they do in combat in a stat block. What they do outside of it is their own devious business and best determined by me, the DM.Skill challenges and rituals though are still massive flaws.</blockquote>
