[QUOTE="Runestar, post: 4514384, member: 72317"] In theory, it shouldn't. But ToB and 4e proved beyond reasonable doubt (to me at least) that more options = more fun in play. The fighter now deals more damage on each hit and can get better AC (together with a reasonably cool capstone ability you may or may not care about), but at the expense of losing options like power attack and trip, 2 options that actually made a fighter worth playing in the first place! In short, they get boosts to areas I never felt were problems in the first place, while taking hits in aspects that now made the fighter even more of a 1-trick pony than he was before. :( I don't need to deal more damage or make myself harder to hit, I want different and imaginative ways to deal damage (like diamond nightmare blade), as well as more options to better deal with various scenarios (eg: iron heart surge to remove debilitating status effects, moment of precise mind to aid in will saves, shadow blink to teleport out of sticky situations, iron heart endurance to heal and the like). Is there a pathfinder'ized warblade anywhere? :p [/QUOTE]
