[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9176947, member: 7023840"] Um, not to point out the obvious, but "sidekick" as opposed to "leading role" isn't about aesthetics- it's power. It's the whole point behind this- [ATTACH type="full" width="333px"]318430[/ATTACH] You aren't asking about aesthetic changes; you want to "re-balance" the classes, because you want to make one class more powerful because, for you, that class is just a "sidekick." In this post, you've couched it about expectations for people looking at the highest level, but it's the same old debate we've seen in countless threads recently. Call it LFQW, or "the warlord," or "Why isn't 5e the same as 4e," or just, generically, "The Martial/Caster divide." Whether this is true for other people (as you've seen from the pushback, it's certainly not universally true) is one thing. Whether it's true, but still not an issue is another thing. But you have to start by at least understanding what you are asking. It's not a question of aesthetics. Moreover, it's not a question of options (as had been pointed out, there are numerous ways to achieve your goal, from different games, to 3PP, to homebrew). So you're not asking for people to provide a solution. From what I understand, then, what this is about is that you just want people to acknowledge your grievance and agree with you, and/or for WoTC to [I]officially[/I] do something about it. WoTC is unlikely to officially do something about it, and I would assume that this thread will likely have the same amount of people agreeing with you, and disagreeing with you, as the other threads we've had on the subject recently.
