Subject: RE: [eqbards] Here's one for the list to answer


he's a god, shouldn't he have special powers? =)
and unless i am wrong, all gods and dragons have 32k hp, they just have
different powers and hit for more or less than others. the ghoul lord has
10000 hp, so i'm sure CT has a bit more. and 6 or 12 wizards wouldn't last
2 seconds. their nukes won't all land and they'll all die in one or two
attack rounds. i know you said that this is because of the special powers,
i'm just talking for the sake of argument/discussion.

along the same lines as melee classes being invaluable, it goes the same for
others. every situation needs clerics. many situations require an
enchanter. many situations require a monk. many require a bard (contrary
to what some discussion has said, i still don't think you want to be doing
dragons without us). the same can be said of many classes. that's balance
to me. i guess you are saying this should not be dependent on level, but it
is, and i don't know if that is right or wrong.

p.s. i know john kim is going to say something about hating level-dependent
systems, don't let me down ;)
