[QUOTE="dmccoy1693, post: 3759781, member: 51747"] I wasn't trying to accuse you of poor role playing, simply displaying my own prejudice about the word "useless". I've gamed with people in the past that lacked imagination. If the rules don't stipulate that they can't do something, they don't do anything but sit back and complain that they are "useless." Meanwhile, I'm there thinking (because I'm tired of suggesting and having it ignored) that they should try this thing or that thing. Fighters might not be the best social characters, but they can outwit a barbarian and can connect with them on a level that wizards can't. Wizards out of spells can still connect with an aristocrat and make high society connections then the most socially adept rogue that was raised on the streets can. I don't believe that every character must shine all the time. I believe that every character should get their moment to shine and its the DM's job to make sure that everyone gets their time in the sun. 100 1st level NPCs in a tight formation are coming at you, wizard fireballs them. Climactic duel with a blackguard in SR armor, Fighter's time to shine. [/QUOTE]
