[QUOTE="Nail, post: 4640700, member: 224"] This is worth saying again: In 4e, doing damage is NOT the only thing to consider; its also how well you take damage. If you've got a thin front line - perhaps only 2 melee PCs - then that front line will be taken down (or avoided) too easily. Your party needs more up in front, even if that means you loose a little bit of damage. Think of it this way: The DM is going give out damage --> if you allow him to spread it out, it's less likely someone dies. I'm reminded of a story of a fellow gamer, running a PC through KotS. He and his party could not make it past Irontooth. They tried twice, with all-new PCs! Eventually they just gave up, and said that it was the fault of 4e. They never understood that having 4 ranged PCs and only 1 melee PC meant the quick death of the melee guy, and the sure destruction of the front line-less ranged PCs. Poor suckers. Back to the OP: There are no overpowered classes in 4e. There *might* be some over-powered class options in 4e. Rogue as overpowe4red? <chuckle> Not really. [/QUOTE]
