Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ginnel" data-source="post: 4381798" data-attributes="member: 66058">Sorry but this isn't true, every character is able to kill things,Strikers = Focus on killing things quickly through their own powersLeaders = Focus on letting their allies kill things, through buffs and healingDefenders = Focus on Defending their buffer's/damagers.Controllers = Focus on killing lots of things at once. So the difference between the warlord and the Fighter is that the Warlord enhances other characters in doing damage, while the Fighter stops the weaker members getting overun, true you can have overlap with the warlord picking up scale/plate/heavy shield use. A Fighter can be a battlefield leader he can call the shots through roleplay    anything which does more damage is going to be more swingy same with higher AC, also I find stupidly high AC's (compared to to-hit bonus') of enemies or players extremely annoying and frustrating.    I highlighted that little bit *looks at his monk* Well he can brew beer because I chose that skill but thats not a class feature, umm he's resistant to enchantments hmm not very character building, he can be good at jumping and climbing, oh can do that in 4th too, I don't see it myself unless your talking about the spells? Character can stay as fluff for me I can think fluff up all day long, I don't need to be constrained by this by having it put into a class (like alignment based classes)   But you get feats and powers, thats two distinguishing things now yeah! True there aren't many feats currently available, this will be remedied    erm excuse me There's more to a character that combat ability, hmm well that would be skills and character background/fluff? (and the spellcasters bag of tricks, now replaced by accessible rituals for everyone) Strength of character is determined by the rule system, how so? I think you are wrong, I can invent a character background and apply it to any system, if that system doesn't have a mechanical rule to interpret how my character is a highly skilled brewer or a skilled whittler, I'm sure I can roleplay it and that my DM can adjudicate it if it comes up in play.</blockquote>
