[QUOTE="Perun, post: 3191589, member: 6037"] Thanks for posting the info. It's interesting, and really made me understand how ungrateful such comparisons are, because you (the generic you, not aimed at Nail) always try to make it all "balanced", and thus make some sub-par choices. For example, the fighter in the example uses a [I]sling[/I] at lower levels. A sling is an awful weapon, really, and only slightly less awful in the hands of a halfling (1d4 base damage, move action to reload). He also uses a throwing weapon at higher levels. IMO, he should have used a bow in all cases (a cheap one, maybe even a shortbow at lower levels, and composite longbow with high Str rating at higher levels. Ranged combat is still not his forte, but at least he can do something with the bow (multiple attacks per round). The best thing, really, would be to see fighter and warblade in actual play over several levels. I don't know whether our other campaign will be reaching its end anytime in the near future, but if it does, I'll try to arrange for a fighter and warblade in the party. With that, I'm off to DM another session :) [/QUOTE]
