Message: <blockquote data-quote="Minigiant" data-source="post: 9154862" data-attributes="member: 63508">The issue is that D&D has struggled to have a martial that has a good magic melee attack and a good ranged attack for 50 years without either using magic items or supernatural class features. (Dex Melee struggles)D&D always puts Melee Weapons and Ranged Weapons on different tracks and uses magic items to shore up the weakeness. It's worse in later editions like 3e, 4e, and 5e due to HP bloat. So every DM ends up handing out magic items if the campaign goes long enough.But no one wants to mandate something that every DM pretty much has to do. Thats how 4e got residum. And why playtest martial can change Weapon Mastery overnight.Because these things got to be in the game but.."We don't want to tell and force the DM to do something."So the martials get more and more supernatural as the game hems and haws over giving DMs rules and just empowers PCs.Mundane (the DMs had the mandate to fix the problem and maintain fairness and fun)VSSupernatural (the players are empowered to solve their own problems)</blockquote>
