[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5984735, member: 22779"] I really have to ask. Have we just spent the last several pages trying to decide if there are balance issues between the thief and the magic user? Really? People honestly don't see any balance issues here? Wow. I would have thought this was a fairly obvious, non-contentious issue. But, then again, it's criticising older editions, so, I guess it becomes standard procedure to proclaim that there are no problems in any older version of D&D. Older versions must never be criticized and any criticism must be fought tooth and nail because we must never admit that any problems exist in older editions. I dunno. It was easier to get players to play clerics in AD&D than single classed thieves IME. Every thief I ever saw was multiclassed. Heck, even Imoen in Baldur's Gate had six or seven levels of magic user just to make her interesting. [/QUOTE]
