[QUOTE="Someone, post: 3352685, member: 5656"] So what? I was addressing the faulty logic that is a PrC is better at doing something than the base class, then it's either broken or "better X than X". Of course Tempest are better two weapon fighters than single classed fighters: is what the frigging class is made to do, it'd be a stupid class if not. That doesn't mean that Tempests are better fighters than fighters: they are better two weapon fighters, but if they pick a spiked chain or a longbow chances are that the staright fighter is better. Tmepest would be absolutely better if Fighters couldn't learn anything but two weapn fighting feats or lacked the option to do anything but two weapon fighting. To say it clearer, that logic is the same than asserting that paladins are better at Detecting and Smiting Evil than clerics, therefore Paladins are better clerics than clerics. Radiant servants would be better clerics than clerics if clerics could do nothing but turn undead and heal, two things strongly belonging to the cleric shtick but absolutely not the only thing they can do. If you want proof of that look for any thread discussing the "best 4 members party", there's always someone who posts a party of 4 pure clerics. And no, they are not all radiant servants, though it's true that ther's always one. [/QUOTE]
