[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8261964, member: 6704184"] Mostly. The classes aren’t really balanced, but they all have a way to do roughly spell level appropriate damage reliably, ways to defend, major defining features and features that support those features, ribbons, etc. More this. Half casting seems to roughly equal the fighters additional extra attacks and action surge, judging by class design in the phb, for instance. Definitely rough balance in each pillar is the ideal.
