[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 4124266, member: 7635"] I DID say "(It should be noted that the character that is all combat and nothing outside of combat is equally bad: see fighter 3.5) " The knife cuts both ways, overspecializing in a combat role and overspecializing in a non-combat role hurts the other side equally. If your rogue insists on rolling diplomacy against every foe or your fighter insists on rolling initiative against every foe, your pretty much stuck in the same mentality, just the opposite side of it. However, if a character can be good at something in combat (sneak attack) and not in combat (scouting, diplomacy, traps, etc) then you have win-win. Your not sitting there hiding from combat (or shooting your crossbow and hoping for "20") and your not bored to tears in tense negotiations and wanting to pick a fight. Fourth edition seems to be aiming for this mentality, and I hope to Baator it works. [/QUOTE]
