The whole point is that casters don't have to, because they have interesting stuff to do by just pressing their shiny spell buttons, they don't need to beg the DM to make an allowance for them so they have SOME decision to make every turn. Even choosing whether or not to use a big spell IS a decision point, something Fighters don't have....and as such, Swordsage seems to deliver on the promise of giving Fighter-ish people something to think about. Where's the problem with that? If someone wants a player to be bored out of their mind just rolling to hit, roll damage, they can give them control over one of their summons - it's just like having a PHB Fighter along!</blockquote>
