[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8863184, member: 93670"] It depends on what kind of martial abilities they get & how those abilities interact with spellcasting. Charisma is problematic because it's such a good stat in 5e & there are so many charisma based classes. a Gish sorcerer class with bard paladin & warlock all sharing the same charisma baed primary stat is a recipe for disaster because all of those already have significant gishy flavor. A con based gish would synergize with the martial classes nicely yea, but doing that cuts into the caster side of the gish base. Con need not be a problem [I]if[/I] the resulting sack of HP is there to offset poor AC & problematic complications for doing stuff like casting while in armor rather than some kind of multiplicative synergy. We don't currently have any martial or mage group classes to compare against & that makes things more difficult. We know weapons will be different in meaningful ways but without those it adds extra layers of difficulty in figuring where the dart should get aimed for a gish. [/QUOTE]
