[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 5967878, member: 23094"] This is well-put. The FMAD, to me, sits in the same boat (or, at least, in the same flotilla) as "caster dominance" does. There are numerous people, because they have already adjusted their playstyles, who never encounter the issue (e.g., gentlemen's metagame agreements at the table, prefer blasty-wizards, etc.). However, for those who have not adjusted their playstyles, it is a particularly thorny issue. The question, then, is "is it better to adjust the system, such that it matches the playstyles of those who don't have the issue, or give advice on adjusting your playstyle?" I, obviously, prefer the first - I'd rather there be systems in place that everyone can read and agree to which obviate the problems from the get-go, rather than saying, "Here's all these neat abilities; if you don't want to make the fighters feel useless, then don't use them, except in the following circumstances ..." or something similar.
