[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8309503, member: 7030563"] D&D is a role playing game. The entire idea of the game is to play a character you enjoy. Things like balance are secondary to that argument. If you want to play a fighter due to the "nerd conceptual power fantasy" then that means the fighter is attractive even though it is "inferior" and choosing that fighter is an entirelt "well-informed" choice. To put it in another words - if it feels good it is right. Note this is aside from the fact there is no statistical or objective cost-benift data that clearly shows casters are better than martials. The entire underpinning of the argument is subjective and based largely on supposition. That is ok, it is what opinions and discussion are about. But don't bring the idea of rational fact-based decision making into the discussion when there is no objective basis showing that the hypothesis as originally presented is factually true to start with. The majority opinion regarding the relative weakness of martials on this thread can not be shown to be any more coherent or well-informed than the millions of people playing fighter. [/QUOTE]
