[QUOTE="Belzbet, post: 5617959, member: 6678902"] Even in high level campaigns fighters (or more generally melee PC's ) can still be VERY HELPFUL. I mena if my PC's (very high powered, but started at lv1) didnt have as an ally some melee PC's then they would ahve all died long time ago. IN THE LOWER LEVELS MELEE IS CRUCIAL. We can get fancy and categorize classes in tiers but they all shine at some time or another. At higher levels spellcasters shine but this doesnt have to be the case (run low magic campaigns if you have a problem with casters). D&D is a world of MAICGm I am sure MANY of you DM's here have FANTASTIC beings and STRONG magic that surrounds and tis an integral part of your game world. WHY SHOULDNT A SPELLCASTER have access to this world shakering magic (at least at high levels). Yeah someone who doesnt study magic WILL NOT have access to this power. BUT MELEE PC"S STILL HAVE THEIR USE EVEN AT HIGH LEVELS. My WIZARD CANT CAST POLYMORPH OR SHAPECHANGE ALL DAY, in a LONG (day, days) of battle melee PC's are a MUST (even at high levels, NPC's have access to dimension lock and antimagic). I mean it is in a large part DM DEPENDENT on how affective the classes will be (since ANY DM can construct an adventure were spellcasters ARE NOT HELPFUL; although those spellcasting players may feel like your picking on them).
