[QUOTE="Cyraneth, post: 1055059, member: 1199"] What palpable things? We're talking D&D. Combat is half the game, after all. A rogue that sets up a fight between his villains and outwits them that way is much more impressive than a fighter that simply pounds them to the ground, but unfortunately also less often heard of. Everything about creatures and items is pretty much about being good in combat. Some creatures are good diplomats, or merchants, or craftsmen, and some items grant practical abilities like flight and skills in etiquette and gourmet, but ultimately most are just up for a pounding or increasing one's "poundability". I didn't want to say the fighter would take out all the fun, just some of it, and combat usually is the time where the fighter (both player and character) is most active, and most other players slump a bit into their chairs, letting the fighters do the work. Merely my observations, opinions, and suggestions, though. - Cyraneth [/QUOTE]
