[QUOTE="Mort, post: 4721009, member: 762"] Well yes, if there's no problem there's no need for argument :) Thus you have the "boring" problem brought up by others earlier. Magic is versatile and a mages player can do several things well - which for most people is fun. For a fighter to dominate they usually have to specialize (the tripping specialist, the charging specialist etc.) and while very effecive it gets old quick. This is the economy of actions problem. No matter how ubber the single monster is, chances are he acts once to the PC's 4 actions. This means, as you say, he's going to go get swarmed and go down. This is why druids and summoners are so nasty in 3.5; they get to exploit the economy of actions with minimal effort. When you fight a Druid it's not just a spellcasting druid, It's a Druid, his dire bear companion, the dire wolvorine he summoned a round ago and his new friend the dire crockadile. [/QUOTE]
