[QUOTE="mortwatcher, post: 7504635, member: 6971927"] yes, you design classes for the whole way, not for the first half of levels - you cannot just assume that players will end before max level. If we are just talking about up to level 8, the barbarian brings no such thing in your restricted level range, so they bring what exactly? paladin and ranger castings? from experience, paladins and rangers use 99% of their castings to enchance their damage or do better in the combat pillar and they have very little to enchance the other pillars. Paladins do have charisma as one of their main stats, so that helps Monks get extra attack but that is limited resource and it's only unarmed. Fighters can get extra skills, by level 4 if you take prodigy instead of ASI, of by level 6 for free - compared to other classes. And fromt he statistics, fighter is the most played/popular class. If it was so terrible, not so many ppl would enjoy it (or you are simpy exaggerating how much of an impact does and extra +2 in a stat has when rolling a d20) [/QUOTE]
