Why not "no one should be able to defeat a prepared fighter"? Why is being awesome through planning and preparation the sole domain of magical classes? I could never understand that.Classes should be balanced through all levels. I don't there is a single good reason for doing otherwise. Imbalance, whether it is deliberate or accidental, is completely unnecessary and just wrecks the game for a lot of people. Fighter and Wizards should be just as strong as each other as they level up. A Fighter should have a counter-measure for anything the Wizard can throw at him. Fighters should have the HP to survive direct damage, the skills and abilities needed to turn the fight to his advantage, and the courage to endure anything. When the Fighter fails his save against a Wizard's save-or-die effect, he should still be tough enough to not die.This is why I liked that one Tome of Battle maneuver in 3.5E that let Warblades simply ignore every bad condition affecting them. Talk about a great equalizer. They could bust their way out of a forcecage with that one.</blockquote>
