Greetings!
You know, I actually have always liked Wizards and such. I just have never understood so many people handwringing about how Warriors are nerfed and helpless.
I have played Paladins, Barbarians, and Fighters, for example, in AD&D, 3E, and 5E. Whether such characters have been level 10 or 20, they have always kicked ass and been great fun to play. Besides whatever mechanical abilities such warrior characters have contributed to the party, unleashing raw combat abilities and weapon skills--the warrior characters have always been vitally important to the party as a whole, and have forged social, military, and political dynamics that have been very influential in the campaign, and have never taken a back seat to Wizards or their ilk.
It just makes me wonder how the hell these kind of people have played their warrior characters in the campaign, and what they expect? Warriors are different from Wizards, just as they are both different from Rogues and Clerics.
Semper Fidelis,
