[QUOTE="Baldurs_Underdark, post: 8547827, member: 6880355"] Next thing you get the monks complaining that the fighters can do all the crazy monk stuff, but they cannot heal so now we got to fix the monks too. Then the rogues say but if the monks get healing, why can't we have nice things too, so they get healing too. And then the paladins will say "but hey, we were the healers" so their healing must be upgraded. By then the clerics will probably join the conversation too. But if you improve the clerics too, then the druids need to have a word. By then the sorcs and wizards feel left out and will just ask for upgrades too. And only the barbarians are still raging and forget to join. And rangers. Rangers exist as well. So, in summary, if you start upgrading one class, the balance of the game gets broken, and you have to rebalance it, which affects all classes. Personally, I think the game it pretty well-balanced, and if the spellcasters have it easy and the fighters are feeling a little unnecessary, that's a problem for the DM, not for the rule-books.
