[QUOTE="twilsemail, post: 5277808, member: 79628"] Well then. I don't see every Wizard build taking Melee training... or archer Rangers... or Psions... Sometimes a feat is taken across the board because it's necessary to fill a concept or role, as opposed to "it's broke-tasetic." If you want to be a dude swinging a sword and your class is based on Wisdom... you should probably take Melee Training so that you're not taking a -10 to hit at the end of your career. Combat is not everyone taking turns. It's unreasonable to think that everyone stands around except for that half second when it's their turn during those 6 seconds. Why does someome lose competence for the times that isn't represented by their dice rolls? I hadn't intended for this to be a mechanics discussion. I'd inteded to discuss why it seems wrong that a character is basically a farmer with a warhammer for 85% of his career and a God among men on the battlefield the other 15%. I'm ineloquent at the best of times on the internet. This conversation has veered far from what I'd intended, but that's the nature of the beast. If this is going to be par for the course... I'll just let the thread ferment. [/QUOTE]
