[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 5869337"] Well, we can give them better skill-points. I think it's somewhat silly that fighters have always been the highly-trained weapon master guy, but they're apparently ignorant as all get out. How do we benefit any martial class with high wisdom without adding magic? -We don't. -We could have wisdom determine "stances known" or "maneuvers known". How do we benefit any martial class with high charisma without adding magic? -We don't. I think there are bigger assumptions here than just the fighter. Even a Barbarians Rage mechanics have always been verging on psuedo-magic. I think we should question why EVERYONE gets the same benefits from str, dex, and con, but martial classes get reduced or NO benefits from mental stats. If magic classes are going to benefit from every score, and martial classes are only going to benefit from half of them, then martial classes should get double bonuses. Perhaps for melee classes they don't have to divide their str /2, they get full score -10. Perhaps for martial classes dexterity increase critical threat range as well as AC. Maybe con acts like a spell resistance to disease and poison. Martial classes either need full-stat benefits like magic classes get, or they need to double-up on the bonuses they get from physical scores IMO. [/QUOTE]
