Hey,
I've been playing DND for years now (arround 10) and one thing has always bugged me, but now more than ever.
Are Magic Users too Tough?
-&- on a related note:
Is the game TOO Magic Dependant?
Too answer both these questions take a 10th level Fighter (NO Magic Items) and pitch him against a 10th Level Magic User (Only allowed magic Items he himself created), then get back to me.
IMHO the answer is, YES They are TOO Tough, and YES the Game is TOO Magic Dependant.
Whatever happened to good old Blood, Sweat, and Tears? Man against the Elements? etc. etc. it seems they've been washed away in a tidal surge of Potions, Enhancements and Enchantments.
Just my Two Cents, let us know what you think (seriously try out the above hpothetical, OH! And don't forget to start the two opponents just outside the maximium distance of the eiher the Wizard/Sorceror's longest reaching spell, or the Fighter's longest reaching ranged weapon, which ever is farthest.)
Cheers.
