[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9303365, member: 7006"] The Martial vs Spellcaster debate isn't full of "Wizard fanboys" from what I've seen (in my opinion)... rather it's all been filled with "Spellcaster Haters" that continually bang the drum that spellcasters are overpowered. THEY are the people I see way more often than any ones that say "Wizards have to be the best." I personally don't care either way so it's not like I have a [I]need[/I] to defend the Wizard class... I just see what I see. And that's many more people complaining that Martials are not as good as Casters, than Casters complaining they aren't [I]more better[/I] than Martials. But I think you've pinpointed exactly what we have here. We have all these people who THINK there must be "Wizard fanboys" milling about because the Wizard class seems to get an inordinate amount of stuff. So why else would this happen unless there was this group of Wizard class lobbyists in the background slipping cash to WotC to make sure this all came about? I do not doubt that there are players who love Wizards. 3E designer Monte Cook made no bones about his love of the Wizard class. But just because there are people who love the Wizard class doesn't mean they have any ways to influence policy by banding together into a group of "Wizard fanboys" and having that [I]actually work[/I]. After all... there are people who love Fighters out there... why haven't THEY been able to bang the drum to get Fighters more stuff as a group of "Fighter fanboys"? What's been their problem? Why are the "Fighter fanboys" apparently getting their butts handed to them and not been able to convince Jeremy et. al. about what Fighters need? Seems to me that they might need to step up their game if these "fanboy" groups all actually exist. [/QUOTE]
