[QUOTE="Warpiglet, post: 7204618, member: 6689161"] Wow. I have a different take. I LIKE that not all things are equally effective at all times. Not all characters are equally capable at all times, either. Sometimes people complain about the uselessness of weapon choices. Gee, spears are dumb! They're d6 and they suck! Yes. And they are also perfect for having a weapon equipped and ready for either melee or ranged attacks particularly for brawny fighters who can throw hard. I dunno. I like thinking about other weapons besides longswords. Cool imagery. So if your fighters in the front have spears, your wizard a cantrip and your whatever in back with a bow, sounds like a reasonable first round barrage is at the ready. What is wrong with a thrown weapon? How many consecutive rounds of ranged combat are we expecting without the need for someone to hold the line? Really in the end, how many rounds are we going to exchange ranged attacks without being able to seek cover? Seems like a non-problem. Then again, the sharpshooter guy might be miffed that he is not as good at hand to hand...that is probably OK since he does so well at ranged. Characters with niches are just fine too. [/QUOTE]
