[QUOTE="Mal Malenkirk, post: 4158139, member: 834"] If Kathra is fighting a single opponent and doesn't want him to be pushed back, what, oh waht, could she possibly do? A basic attack. You'll note that both of her at-will powers do not increase damage on targets, they just have a secondary effect. Now if there's a guy flying above, what does she do? Basic ranged attack. She even has a nice throwing axe on hand that does a respectable 1D6+5. If it were better, she'd outshine the dedicated ranged attacker. The pregen ranger is. Not every ranger. I hope not. Waste of text space. I want all my fighters powers to be, well, [I]fighteresque.[/I]. I know it will annoy some people but one thing you eventually have to learn : The customer isn't [I]always[/I] right. I don't think the number of people who can't accept playing an edition of D&D where a cleric can't be a kickass archer is sufficient to justify the expenses of accomodating them. The PHB has only so many pages and therefore adding ranged weapon powers to classes that don't need them either takes the place of better powers or bloat the book beyond what is reasonable. D&D can't be everything to everyone and it's actually bad business ot even try. That being said, maybe we'll see other bow based strikers in the future. In fact that's a near certainty. [/QUOTE]
