Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neonchameleon" data-source="post: 7933793" data-attributes="member: 87792">If I don't remember a number (and the number to remember is the total) I look it up. And if it takes me any noticeable time then it's a problem with the character sheet.Of course the 32 + four families of skills in 3.5 is kinda ridiculous; I find GURPS skills easier.Not really unless I had a golf-bag of different magic weapons. I only need two sets of numbers for anything that isn't a primary weapon.Knowing what I could summon still produced plenty of variety. I had a mainline summons I wanted at each level - and then some situational ones such as either a herd of rampaging aurochs (who were an effective fireball spell but were turned into hamburger before they could turn round and come back through the enemy) or a a pack of octopuses for crowd control. (The tentacles were the one summon my GM actually objected to - mostly because each octopus has nine attacks (one per tentacles plus a bite) and each of the tentacles if it hits gets a followup grapple for a potential fifty one attacks in a turn if I got three octopuses).I have no objection to that being all someone wants a fighter to do. I just want a level cap on this at about level 5 as that one ability stops being so meaningful compared to someone who can literally create their own demiplane. Either that or explict acknowledgement in the game's write-up of the class that the fighter class is War Machine - who's a badass, but the only reason he's sitting at The Avengers' table is that Tony Stark built him a suit of powered armour.Me? If the wizards are casting spells like mythological demigods I want the fighter to be Heracles or CuChulain. Either that or for a more sword & sorcery approach where the allied wizards can cast spells but it takes time so the fights are decided by steel. I enjoy both mortals and demigods - but mixing the two in a party when they claim to be the same level is I find an issue.</blockquote>
