[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3672387, member: 29014"] Hmm, if you say so. The Fighter/Monk (mostly Fighter) in one of my games is clearly the strongest in his group, and these are not pushover characters (At level 17, he nearly killed the CR 23? Aspect of Mammon from FC2 before it could act, without a weapon that penetrated the DR). Fighters work in my game. They are helpful, they shine, and about half the players like to play Fighters or their ilk. And that may be one of the reasons the way I play it works for me. Clearly Fighters do not work for you. I've got that. As I said above, it is obvious to me that you have picked the correct way of ruling Bo9S in your games. I can tell you put a good deal of thought into it because you found all the same problem manoeuvres I did, among other things, so I know you're doing the right thing and not going into this with the blind attitude of 'Let's just let in the whole book without looking at it' or 'This looks too strong, let's ban it without looking at it'. What I hope is that you can see that I've done that too. And it works. And it can work for other people like me who I've seen time and time again post to these boards. People who make a thread with something like: "I love the mechanics behind Bo9S, but I have a few issues..." The tendency is to jump on them and say "The problem is with you, not Bo9S. You can't read it well enough, or you haven't seem them in play, and you're wrong. I've played it and Bo9S is fine and you need to get with the program." But that isn't always true for every game, and I think we need to recognise that. [/QUOTE]
