[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 6327560, member: 957"] But this is a straw man because I never ruled those out. You can build powerful warriors with strong will. The point of dispute was that the idea that the gap MAY NOT be above a certain threshold. My reply is that excluding a large gap is a bad thing. I never said that allowing build options for making that gap go away should be removed. There *is* "a lot of narrative space in which powerful warriors are not easily made pawns to wizards", just as you say. There is also a lot of narrative space where the warriors have less mystic resistance that their wizardly piers. Do you agree that both is better than either or? I would take minor issue with the phrasing "easily made pawns". But that is just because it is loaded language. The wizards are just as easily made into split skulled corpses. I don't accept the presumption of outcome. Only that there are narrative, and thus tactical (mechanical) strengths and weaknesses. (I'd also quibble that Aragorn and Conan may be more resistant than common men in their settings, but are distinctly weaker than the wizards of their settings. But getting hung up on the examples isn't really the point. ) [/QUOTE]
