[QUOTE="Mort, post: 4716780, member: 762"] The point of the problem is Casters (particularly wizards) can easily step on another classes toes - other classes cannot step on casters toes. The wizard can do much of what the rogue can do if he wishes, the rogue cannot (except to a limited degree and at great expense) do what the wizard can do. More importantly the wizard can completely nulify the rogue but the reverse is not true. Obvious low level example: wizard lock - explicitly cannot be picked (but a wizard can use knock to open it). Again it is a problem when you can do your role AND someone elses easily. Besides that though, it's a bit vague to say I can do my role and not step on other's toes. It's not about doing your role all the time, it's about getting stuff done. Because casters have so many varied spells, they have more options to "get stuff done" than other classes. I for one got pretty tired of the 6 second solution to practically every problem in 3e. [/QUOTE]
