[QUOTE="clutchbone, post: 7187193, member: 98332"] Battlemaster can disarm, frighten, push, prone, etc. Eldritch Knights can buff, dispel, make walls, etc. Even a Champion with 14 Wis can be your exploration person if she's trained in perception and survival (fighter skills). Also, go tell an open palm monk that only magic can cause status effects, see what happens. You're right, every class gets backgrounds. Do you know why? So that [I]any[/I] class can be good at social or exploration (or whatever) with two relevant skills and/or a relevant feature. Refusing to consider backgrounds is silly when their entire intention is to add flexibility to your class choice. Let's take that Champion I mentioned; add the outlander feature and she's now an exploration savant. And lastly, "only" doing HP damage in fact causes the best status effect... death. :p [/QUOTE]
