[QUOTE="The Grassy Gnoll, post: 6867557, member: 6788652"] Not aimed at the OP, just a general observation... The thing is, D&D is on the players' side. It wants them to be able to hit and kill the monsters. It wants everyone to be able to feel that their character is cool, whether they're playing a Fafhrd or a Grey Mouser. The only time this kind of discussion comes up is when people want their character to be, not cool, but the [I]coolest[/I]. Unless you're going toe-to-toe with another PC, which is generally Not The Point, it isn't tremendously important to the game, which is a collaborative effort. It's not a competition. Rejoice in your party's DEX-based character and all the hella good damage he deals. He's on your side, just like the STR-based Amazon in the group. One might do more damage than the other, or be more versatile when called upon, but that's ok. You're on the same team. Go on, says D&D. Beat ten bells out of that bad guy. Feels good, right? Focus on that - and the looting of the corpses afterwards*, rather than any jealousy about who has a better AC or whatever. There. My halfpenny's worth, for what it's worth. *D&D, instilling proper values to impressionable minds since 1974. [/QUOTE]
