[QUOTE="Robert_Goodfellow, post: 4811273, member: 83922"] Please give me specific examples. I ask this so I can more easily look up exactly what you are referring to. And so you present adequate evidence to defend your point. If I'm being asked to do that for my points then I only ask that others do the same. Thank you. I knew it had to be doable, but I couldn't figure it out. I'm sure he's a wonderful guy. But after I wrote it I felt it to be witty and concise so I wanted to post it anyway. I will stand by my denouncement of his (and his team's) writing. "Under the leaves of Myth Drannor I learned the ancient eladrin way of battle. Spells are my armor, and words of ruin are bound to my blade." -Forgotten Realms Player's Guide The person who pinned that should be fired. And the editor that let it go to print should be shot. I'd rather not discuss the Swordmage cause I've only really looked at it for heroic level and it felt way to bipolar in it's development. Some things seems way too over powered and other seemed way too weak. And to clearify... the free teleport was a reference to Aegis of Assault. While the mini-fireball was both Greenflame Blade and Sword Burst. But to be fair Sword Burst is not that bad. Greenflame Blade, however I feel is overpowered. I do not disagree with you that there should be an Arcane Defender. Nor do I disagree that it should have touches of the ole' school Blade Singer, Blade Dancer (depending on the writer), Spellsword, Felblade or countless other similar attempts. I just don't think this is a successful version. How so? It seems to me that it would alleviate some of the pressure of needing two 16+ stats and/or the necessity for two Weap/Imp Expertise feats. Dragonborn are OP anyhow. ;-P [/QUOTE]
