[QUOTE="Pauln6, post: 9229293, member: 6777422"] In my case, it was that it was impossible port characters across from 3e to 4e without changing their stats. The flavour of the character was diluted in favour of mechanics. Personally, I have never really felt that Dex overpowered all other abilities, in our group at least, but so many people seem to chant it that I have to believe it must be so! The pros and cons of using missiles are often discussed. Back in the day you would get one or two shots in before closing into melee (when equipping a shield was less of a chore) rather than it being a lifestyle choice. Damage output is much greater now but it does seem that if strength needs a boost, reducing the amount of damage done by smaller Dex weapons is one way to do it. Perhaps one way to balance fighter builds would be by adding another off-hand attack? And two weapon fighting style adding a flat +3 to damage. [/QUOTE]
