I ran a campaign for a martial party (one of them was a shadow monk). I gave them plenty of magic items, and even some artifacts.Even with all that, I felt that I needed to add an NPC cleric to the party, because it was really constraining my adventure design. I couldn't put them against a mummy lord, for example, because it would have been a death sentence if they failed that save, unless I added a conveniently placed NPC nearby that could remove curse. The big bad of the campaign was a lich (designed before they rolled up) who could have easily wrecked them without that cleric if I played it's intelligence (and I don't like to hold back).I believe in letting my players play what they want to play. I believe that classes should be designed to support that, without forcing the DM to lob softballs just because there isn't a caster in the party.</blockquote>
