[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 8599316, member: 6795602"] I think you dismissed the criticism far too quickly and a bit unfairly. 1. This does not balance the Fighter or other martial classes, leaving the players wanting that kind of fictional flavor to be 'weak'. 2. This class is a purely magical Fighter (which is cool in it's own right), but fails the fictional flavor many players are looking for. 3. Wish is kind of the extreme example. Let's talk good 4th+ level spells that will be hard to justify replicating for a 'magical fighter'. I listed a couple of the more difficult to replicate spells (not all because I don't want to overwhelm the discussion). Level 4 Polymorph Summon Greater Demon Level 5 Raise Dead Wall of Force Level 6 Mass Suggestion Wind Walk Level 7 Teleport Forcecage Level 8 Dominate Monster Maze Level 9 Wish Shapechange Meteor Swarm I'm interested to see how close your 'Warrior' class comes to those kinds of effects.
