- Pickpocket is not a rogue skill in this game.
- Charm is not just a plain pet.
- Why a warrior and not a ranger or a rogue in a party of 3 mages? I could not see any valid argument there.
- STR and DEX skillsets "require" an additional skillset (a weapon skillset) to enjoy scaling, or one could say it's an optionnal extra buff mages do not have (nor do they have bully). You can spin that both ways as long as you want if you don't crunch numbers.
- "Cloak and Dagger" and "Tactical Retreat" are largelly irrelevant, but since you compare them, have you taken into account the fact rangers need the PER (perception) stat while rogues do not?
- If mages spells did only 1 damage each, they could not be called "the most powerful", and if they did 10,000 they could. Hence there is a breaking point, and numbers must be crunched. You didn't.
- Why are you expecting eRe4s3r to demonstrate how many turns it would take to end any given fight? You are making the claim, it's up to you.
