[QUOTE="Dan'L, post: 4754796, member: 68954"] Yeah, but I'd rather not be hit in the first place than ignore half the damage. Because this build you're talking about? Dual Strike with the BRV for extra damage? What's that, 16 AC at level 1? Vs. a 19 AC for a Sword & Board? You're going to need those temp HPs, or you're not going to be much of a Defender. Sure you can max out one thing or another, but it's the overall balance of a character that makes it playable. It's all in the particular flavor of balance in the builds that make one appeal to a player more than another; one player's immovable force is another player's doorstop. I think the true test will be checking back in 6 months or so and seeing what percentage of players of fighters pick which builds. It could be that an overwhelming number will play BRV over any other build, but quite frankly the people I've talked to who've played them have seemed to have grown bored with them fairly quickly. YMMV, though. -Dan'L [/QUOTE]
