I agree with what I think is its premise -- variety is the spice of life, and one-size-fits-all fighters shouldn't be as versatile as specialists. But none of that invalidates his point that: Anybody, not just fighters, should be able to ready/keep a melee weapon in a mage's face to possibly disrupt his casting.</blockquote>
