[QUOTE="Question, post: 3074278, member: 40104"] Alarm bells are going off. This sounds like one of those campaigns where the DM tries to make it more "gritty" or "realistic", runs low wealth.......and just completely unbalances everything in favor of the spellcasters. In such a campaign there really is no incentive to be a straight melee fighter because spellcasting is a lot more rare, and valuable........a level 12 artificer can probably start a massive bidding frenzy among the dragonmarked houses for his services and have more money for the rest of his life. A straight melee fighter in such a campaign setting just isnt that effective, a lot of their effectiveness depends on normal access to magic weapons and armor. With that out you need to look at non-wealth dependant methods to raise your damage and defense. If your DM isnt allowing VoP but is allowing the ToB maneveours, he hasnt really stopped to think about what those mean in a low wealth setting. [/QUOTE]
