While the character was built suboptimally, I'm sure I could have handed her to any other player and they could have played the exact same character and dealt a lot more damage. Even were the character completely balanced with the others, what system is going to stop the player from using a suboptimal weapon or suboptimal tactics?Not for me. I would like at some point to get to play Thog, in character, and Thog not know anything about "dailies". Thog maybe hit harder and wilder, but that extent of Thog thought about tactics.Except that AC, saves and a whole bunch of other features worked the same across all classes in the other editions. Certainly the claim that you must learn any non-4E edition of D&D de novo with any new class is silly. How much difference the homogenized classes of 4E really make, I don't know; my problem in playing an Inquisitor in Pathfinder is not in understanding how the new mechanics work, but rather in understand when to use them and why.</blockquote>
