[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4325756, member: 40961"] I don't understand your point. Are you saying that my enjoyment of my heroic character is dependent on you playing a character who is sub par in combat? Are you saying vice versa? Its been ages since I played in a campaign where someone was playing an intentionally gimped character. Everyone in my 3e games played characters designed for, amongst other things, combat effectiveness. Was I not having fun, and I just didn't notice? Why does it seem that way? Is there something about having a perfectly orchestrated use of a daily power that interferes with your quipping talents? Are you worried that people will forget about your quip and remember your daily power? What's the logic here. Have you noticed that every character class in 4e has at least one social skill? The design intention was to make sure that every character can participate in social encounters, rather than having a "face man" who does all the social work while the rest of the party sits back and watches. Do you feel this is inferior design? . That's fair as a general point. Strictly speaking, no, he wouldn't, because there are neither familiars nor sorcerers nor clubbed feet. Is that what you meant? True, because you get new spells for free and you can't assign spell slots. Is that what you meant? Why couldn't you play this character? Why couldn't you play this character? I imagine he was an NPC in 3e, so he could stay an NPC in 4e. [/QUOTE]
