[QUOTE="Jefe Bergenstein, post: 4716507, member: 31506"] Its been my experience. On one hand you have a guy with virtually no out of combat classed based utility, and on the other, you have a superhero who gets to pick which super powers he has each day. If your casters arent showing up your fighters, its because they're not trying or going out of their way to not hurt the fighter's feelings. Its Angel Summoner and the BMX Bandit. 3rd edition made it even worse for the poor guy in combat, as he couldnt even move and make all of his attacks in the same round without scrounging for some splat power that gave pounce or its equivalent. I guess you could write adventures that take place in an anti-magic zone, but I think the casters would feel rightly cheated. Its magic's all encompassing "do anything" ability coupled with D&D's safe casting mechanics that make most problems easily solvable with "I cast spell x". Its a system issue, not just an adventure issue. [/QUOTE]
