[QUOTE="Shabe, post: 4292710, member: 66108"] Just a small comment on the number of play options available in combat to people. Given that all classes use the same power progression, all characters will have the same number of viable options in combat as each other except for a couple of small exceptions. -Characters focused on str will have more options due to grab/bull rush. -Dwarves gain no ability due to their racialness, merely have a standard action encounter power upgraded to a minor action encounter power. (Dragonborn - Breath Weapon Elardrin - Teleport Elf - reroll Half-elves - extra encounter "at will" Halflings - reroll an enemy hit Humans - extra at will Tieflings - Infernal Wrath) So erm fighters seem to have more options than wizards in combat, dun dun duuuun *dramatic chipmunk* Shoot i skipped class features... Cleric: Healing Word, Channel Divinity Fighter: Marking (although only a choice when theres another "mark"er on the party) Paladin: Divine Challenge, Channel Divinity, Lay on Hands Ranger: Hunters Quarry Rogue: Sneak Attack Warlock: Misty Step, Curse, (Pact Bonus) Warlord: Inspiring Word Wizard: Cantrips, Implement Mastery [i]disclaimer: I've only read the phb twice I may have missed out some options[/i] Okay so maybe the paladin turns out as having the most options. But we are only talking about a difference of 2 or 3. Overall it takes away the fact that one person is dithering over their options while the fighter decides to full attack/trip, and leads to the fact that everyone understands that they have a few options to mull over and it might all be a bit quicker and less painful if they plan their upcoming actions, hopefully.
