No. Dicks will not be eaten.Eat a dick.
I just said that you goddamn muppet.like Frank said the entire reason "Fighter<Wizard" is acknowledged as a thing is because their were arguments on the internet, arguments that were decisively.
Hmph. Okay well at least we get a least of demands.What we want is to have the same thing happen for "mundane sword-guy can't be viable for all 20 levels".
Sure. Okay but this is a stream of thought. so here.Now how do we make that happen? Answer that motherfucker, otherwise GTFO.
If you actually have a goal like that you have options, and honestly they're pretty fucking apparent options.
Further, to be honest, 4th edition has already started down that path for you, with their tiers of play shit.
So right there someone someone knew that the "Warduke" 20th level boss fighter, was bullshit et all.
So there. First step Target audience.
Actually, no. . . first step delegation of resources. You actually have to utilize the people at your disposal to do different shit. Like literally gather a team of people to get the domino pushed.
Like where as Frank was certainly right about getting people to acknowledge the fighter wizard paradigm, you prolly don't want that to talk 10 years.
So you do an organized internet campaign. Do it on multiple sites with different people staging the arguments. Further, to be clear, the arguments should be staged. Not that you need a ringer in the because "keep the fighter" camp will sustain itself. . . might not hurt to run the table.
You might get some traction doing something reasonable like, I don't know "writing game designers" maybe get SOMEONES ear, who might actually listen about to the issue... after we have got the buzz roaring in a few places.
So back to where I started, Target Audience. . .
Shooting for the "bulk" of D&D players is an odd thing, because they're all over the place... and the RPGNET argument is different, from TGD argument, which it different from Paizo,WOTC, and whoever else.
So... it might help if you have something you're actually trying to push. Like a format...
4th I think got that shit off the ground because they ALL classes multiclass at 10 so it lessened some of the offense for mutherfucking diehards. . . even if the wizard literally went "Wizard, Archmage, planeswalker"
Some of what you have to do is "Not be dicks" when presenting that shit. Talking to people like we talk to each other here makes them WANT to fight whatever where saying... good argument be damned. If Kaelik thinks "I'M" WHINEY fuuuuck, tip of the iceberg outside of our dysfunctional little haven.
Finally, it'd really help I think if you knew what option you wanted to choose to replace the fighter.
If someone played as beowulf level 1-6, then when what do they become after that so they don't have to kill their guy.
