[QUOTE="N'raac, post: 6150013, member: 6681948"] There are some comments on skills way, way upthread, suggesting that since the fighter will just dump INT and CHA, skills aren't going to help him have a narrative impact. May I suggest that, by dumping CHA and INT, the fighter has CHOSEN to minimize his ability to impact the narrative? You wanted stats that were entirely combat-focused, and abilities that were entirely combat-focused, and now you complain about having limited abilities out of combat. I don't put much stock in Wizards and Sorcerers who complain that their melee prowess is pretty limited, and HTH with those daggers and staves doesnt compete effectively against the Fighter. "Being good at everything" is an MAD choice, and is likely to mean you won't be "the best" at anything. Chosing to have a bunch of 8's an a few extremely high stats, rather than a spread of moderate stats, is just that - a CHOICE. Just ike a wizard who dumped STR has CHOSEN to have a tough time hauling around rations, water and a spellbook, and should not be complaining when his encumbrance works against him. [Bag of Holding?
