It's a mentality that extends way beyond this particular topic. They seem to really think there's some reducto logic at work--that if you create something that exists at one end of a spectrum, that you have also created a hole on the other end that imbalances the universe until it's been filled.For example, there are folks who really get obsessed with the alignment wheel for various reasons. If you have a lawful good paladin, there should be a CE analogue. And an LE analogue. And a CG analogue. If you have a LE outsider (devils), and a CE outsider (demons), then it's inevitable some bright child comes up with NE outsiders aas well (lame-arse "daemons"). And then you are compelled to go to the good side of the wheel and fill it out with guardinals and eladrin and devas and all this other stuff that really don't have interesting or important distinctions. And let's not even get started on dragons, giants, and anything remotely based on color or elements.Symmetry is good in some ways, but it does seem to command way too much of a priority with some folks. Do we really need a martial controller? Should we just naturally expect that there's going to be one?</blockquote>
