[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 7944498, member: 7015698"] Of course people play what they like, but would you be uncomfortable in a party where the most magical character is like... I dunno, an Arcane Trickster or a guy who took Magic Initiate - Cleric? Would you be surprise to get to a random table and find not a single caster? That's sorta what I meant by expectations. Despite that I've been around for ten years I still feel like an outsider, or a noob, when it comes to D&D and to me it almost looks like there's a sort of 'Wizard subculture' within our little subculture. Not saying it as a negative or a judgement, just an observation. Also, I'm a terrible spell caster player so maybe that gives me a different perspective on the better caster players? :p And I guess the full martial party and 4e thing isn't quite right, but I think you would agree that 4e was the first time where the game had this many pure Martial options no?
