[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7751158, member: 996"] That sounds like such a mean thing to do, if you assume consistency is bad... More classes able to impose some of 18 conditions doesn't necessarily translate to more than 40 conditions coming up in play. Monsters still impose conditions, for instance, regardless of class distribution, and an all-caster party could certainly impose a tremendous amount in 3e - they were just even more likely to end the fight outright in doing so. But it's not like casters were rare in the party. If you go back and read some of the old story hours from that era, for instance, you see some all-caster parties - and never see no-caster parties. Imposing a mark is voluntary, so you could choose not to overwrite a mark - once one defender has gotten chewed up enough, the other can start marking - such tag-teaming could really mess with enemies' focus fire. Heh - It is a nerd game, afterall... [/QUOTE]
