I think their reasoning went something like this: Fighters are weak. Most "fighters" nowadays are elven rangers because those are a lot more efficient in combat than a human fighter. Still, we want the human fighter to be the most common character in the game. Face it, what is the point of being an exotic ranger if everybody is an "exotic" ranger. Let's make human fighters rock most!Clerics are unpopular because playing a cleric is a chore. All you do is run around healing the others in the party. We need to make clerics more popular or there will be too many parties without one. How do we make the cleric popular? We make them better in melee and we up there other abilities such as spell-casting and turning!Wait! The ranger is still too popular. The ranger is a very attractive concept and far too many wants to play the silent, deadly, cool guy. We must make the ranger weaker or rangers will not be very exotic.Let's tone down the paladin and the bard too. Those are supposed to be more uncommon than rogues and fighters anyway and as we know players will pick the most favorable choices for the most part we need to make fighter, rogue, wizard and cleric more favorable than the others.That's my assessment. I'm pretty sure I'm 100% wrong as usual.</blockquote>
