[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 6926189, member: 6716779"] Mearls is entitled to his opinion. And my players do not always go for the most powerful option. 2 of them are powergamers but right now one of them is running a light cleric and the other one has a Shadowdancer Monk. They do generally match up the racess suited to the class though unless they roll well on the dice. The Monk is a Wood Elf for example. Its boring doing the same thing all of the time. The cleric is not using bless that much either because she wants to blast stuff for once. We do have a Ranger with Sharpshooter but the player was in a rush and asked us to make a PC for him and he wanted an archer and a skill monkey so it was Ranger or Rogue. He has been using SS most of the time and missing a bit because no one is buffing him. The entire party is dex based there are some definite drawbacks but they wanted to try out the stealth thing. Light Cleric Shadow Monk Hunter Ranger Battle Master Fighter Mastermind Rogue They are also seeing how well a dex based party can do without the usual suspects (GWM, PAM, Shield Master etc). We have not seen to many fighters or Monks used or the Mastermind Rogue in action. Last game we played I was a Way of the Fists Monk and one of the players wanted to try a Monk. We can min max our asses off if we rally wanted to, in 3.5 we knew the power builds just did not use them, wizards are rare with these players regardless of edition. [/QUOTE]
