Through my years of mmo and rpg gaming I’ve tended to swing between the two extremes of the warrior/wizard dynamic.

Some days I just want to be a dumb tank in full armor soaking up hits and acting as a wall for squishier classes. But then there’s days where I love being a glass cannon that can kill something in 1-2 nukes but a strong breeze can kill me.

The least fun I’ve head with a class was as a healer druid in Everquest. Something so stressful about the party relying on you for heals and if you wipe it’s generally your fault. idk how people dedicate themselves to a class like that.

    Baldur’s Gate 3 was truly revolutionary by just letting you use the highest skills from your party members in most circumstances.

    …you what? Pathfinder: Kingmaker did that 2 years before BG3 went into early access, and I’m pretty sure owlcat weren’t the first to do it either.
    I swear down, D&D players claim the weirdest shit as unique or original to D&D.

      I never played the Pathfinder games but a ton of CRPGs don’t let you do that still. I don’t even like D&D, I think the rules system sucks because it encourages specialization/roleplaying at the expense of fun.
