He played a fairly viable enabler/disabler ho was perfectly content to debuff foes, then sit back while everyone else whacked gleefully away while boosted with spells such as haste. Despite never doing a single point of damage, it was clear who the most effective player was. But the rest were okay with it, since he had his own niche, and never cannibalized any of the other players' roles/specialities. Conversely, even though direct damage was suboptimal, the fighter would likely hate the sorcerer who specialized in single-target, high damage spells and constantly competed with him on who could take down the target first. So my response would be that I don't mind imbalance so long as they don't cross into other classes' roles.</blockquote>
