[QUOTE="Rex Blunder, post: 5258057, member: 60850"] I think the words "corner case" have already been mentioned in this thread so I won't mention "corner case" again after the next time I say "corner case". corner case From my corner, it looks like a case where "different builds are different and have different pluses and minuses." In this thread, it is being argued that the knight is underpowered because he cannot switch stances while dazed. But even if your characters spend an average of two rounds in EVERY COMBAT dazed, and can charge in both (their enemy isn't around a corner; it isn't a case where the enemy is already adjacent) you'll probably hit on only one of your two attacks. That means this makes a difference of 2 damage in the entire combat. Just in case you missed it, other people are arguing that the knight is overpowered because he gets his +2-damage stance on charges and OAs. The knight didn't exactly corner the market on damage bonuses while charging, though: there have been cases where other classes have been given damage-boosting at-wills usable on charge. Battle Wrath is worse than howling strike, for instance. What if we cover it with "different builds are different and have different pluses and minuses?" If one build is definitely better than another, you may feel cornered into taking the better. This does not yet look to be one of those cases. [/QUOTE]
