[QUOTE="TwinBahamut, post: 5925573, member: 32536"] As far as I'm concerned, the fact that the Fighter isn't clearly and unquestionably miles ahead of other classes in raw power is gigantic red flag, considering that the Fighter has a severe lack of options compared to other classes. A few mild bonuses are nowhere near enough to make up for the incredible power of spellcasting. If you want the Fighter to be a remotely viable choice for a class, it needs to do a lot more than just marginally beat out other classes in a comparison of what should be the Fighter's speciality. Also, it is certainly not too early to be talking about balance. The Fighter's lack of balance right now is more than just a problem with small numerical differences. It is a problem of the Fighter class's very concept. A class that has almost no class features or choices and is barely any better at the direct combat than any other class will never be balanced no matter what WotC does. Some things simply can't be balanced, and the disparity between the current Fighter and the current spellcasters is one of those things. [/QUOTE]
