[QUOTE="Shadai, post: 6721619, member: 6801949"] I agree with you for the most part with this. I think the KISS principle is what everyone should aspire to in pretty much every occasion. No need for 7 complicated rules with 1 simple one will do. However I don't track your point about the fighter not being punished. The wizard on his turn can take an action to cast a spell. Whether this is a cantrip or a 9th level spell it take the same basic action all wizards pretty much default to. The fighters default action is attack. As he gets better he gets more attacks. This makes sense on some level. The fighter is considered the "master of weaponry"-ish and thus you would assuming said martial prowess would translate to him being better with a Mace than average Joe. The wizard gets the full use of his default action to cast a spell (cantrip through 9th) as a reaction with the Ready. The fighter gets.... one attack. Granted, the wizard has concentration, blah blah blah. This is on a ready. I just don't see where the fighter isn't being punished for rolling well. Again, not a big deal for me. I detailed how I do initiative in a different thread that I feel is a superior method anyway. I just see the slight imbalance here and I think it is interesting [/QUOTE]
