[QUOTE="Ashrym, post: 7850077, member: 6750235"] This very much makes a difference for me. Bounded accuracy also maintains the relevance of equipment a lot better than past editions. This doesn't necessarily come directly from the class (well, class proficiency for those items does and bonus feats) but when I'm playing where my options came from doesn't stop me from making use of them and are still part of the total character. Athletics and gear makes a lot of exploration challenges minor. I find the lower DC's, lack of needing to roll, and equipment options marginalizes the benefits for spells for quite some time. We've had this discussion before so I've been leaving you to your opinion, but mine hasn't changed. Magic isn't all that, especially at lower levels. Fighters aren't as good as other classes in these areas but that doesn't mean the character cannot contribute well enough to be relevant. As for the case of the GWM champion at range, he can still take a bow out and shoot it if necessary. He might even have spent that second fighting style towards it. Improved critical doesn't care if it's a ranged or melee weapon. The wizard is still limited by concentration and action economy in defensive options, plus low hit points. [/QUOTE]
