[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 1955215, member: 198"] We play it as in the standard rules, i.e. belongings don't take damage unless a target rolls a 1 on the save, and fireballs don't knock you prone or anything else like that. Apples and oranges :D I don't see it with the breakup you do, and I do think the classes are a lot more balanced in 3e (and even more in 3.5e), but at the higher levels the spellcasters do have an edge over non-spellcasters. I should also add that when comparing the role of classes in the game, comparing which is most effective at killing the other is a waste of time. In the vast majority of D&D games, there are a team of PCs working together, and the real test of a PC's viability is whether it can contribute to the group dynamic. [/QUOTE]
