[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 2719429, member: 259"] An alternate hypothesis, and I have no idea if it's true or not. [b]Karinsdad[/b], you seem to me to have an excellent grasp of the rules, and a very strong set of opinions about the rules. Is there a possibility that, had you been playing a fighter, your character still would have been the one dealing the most damage and surviving the most combats? If you had been playing a cleric, might not the DM have needed to work hard just to challenge clerics? I dunno; it just occurred to me that we may not be controlling for all variables :). Daniel edit: just so it's clear, it may be possible to read "rules lawyer" into the above. That's not what I mean at all. I consider myself to be in a similar situation, in which my strong grasp of the rules gives me greater tactical power than some of the other players in our home game; my DM has occasionally wanted to ban spells from my spell list based on the lovely things I do with them.
