[QUOTE="Ourph, post: 4716970, member: 20239"] I don't think it's ever really been about Fighter "incompetence". Fighters do well at high levels and can certainly lay the smack down if the situation is right. I think it's more about the fact that most casters (if they want to) can, with a wave of their hand, replace the Fighter with something that can do the Fighter's job just as well as he can, if not better. I have seen people I'm gaming with get very excited about their Fighter scoring a critical hit and doing lots of damage and then, a few minutes later when they realize the Druid's buffed bear companion missed with 2 out of 3 attacks and still did more damage than their character, just feel crushed. And I don't blame those people for feeling that way. It sucks when you realize that, no matter how well you play your character, another player can do both his job AND your job at the same time because of magic. [/QUOTE]
