I could blanket my world in an Antimagic field and make all spellcasting worthless.  That doesn't prove anything.Low magic campaigns are extremely unbalanced in their own right, scout's far from the only one with problems.  Casters can cast their own buffs and possibly craft items.  Noncasters in such a game just get shafted.How does scout work?  With some planning and setup, just like the rogue.  Rogue can seldom get sneak attack all on his own, at least after the 1st round of combat.  He relies on melee buddies to flank and casters or wands to grease enemies, Invisbile or Blink him, or to summon flanking buddies.  Scout relies on spells or items to move 10+ ft without spending a move action.  Both classes can get feats and other tricks to self-serve a little, but both fare much better with party support.</blockquote>
