Spellmages are the most OC, best-of-both-worlds, and downside-lacking archetype which brings to mind protagonists who are special due to being able to use all elements of a power system which is defined by being divided into categories. However, I do like when spellcasters have emergency weapons.

Then just make them the median of both worlds instead. You're not as good with a sword as a straight swordsman and you're not as good with spells as a wizard. You can use one to supplement the other, but it really only brings you just below either side's capability outside of niche cases where you desperately need both. You aren't useless in a scuffle but you're still out of your depth when it comes to the deepest of arcane secrets.

It stinks of Mary Sue, ttrpgs are usually expecting team effort where every party member does their part, so character good at multiple things tend to hog too much spotlight.
I'd imagine it's fine for a solo game, where the character really can be one-man-army in style of James Bond or Geralt of Rivia.

That depends entirely on how it's designed. 3.5 was full of utter dogshit spellswords classes. I'm genuinely not sure what about the combination makes people pee their socks in an instant as if the fabric of reality will unravel.
>>
>>97001371
because spells + melee makes them a paladin and lots of systems make cleric more spell focused with fewer melee options
>>
>>97006936
That's all well and good, but the trade-off for having no glaring weaknesses should be blunted efficacy. Being a spellblade raises your overall base capability, but ought to make it so that both your peaks and valleys are flattened out to a degree.
>>
>>97007525
Too easy to use this as an excuse to make a nothing class. 3.5 was full of utter dogshit spellsword style classes that were sub mediocre. People need to stop saying these kinds of things as if they are magic spells of game design. Like if you just do it, it works out how it should? Not in practice.
>>
do it for your games, retard
>>
>>97007575
It didn't work out because there were a bunch of dissenting ideas as to what "balanced" meant and not enough considerations put into how to make them workable and fun. I mean, no shit this is all just theory. "Do it right and it'll work" is kind of the thesis statement behind everything when you really peel it back. I'm not here to give an in-depth rework of anything in particular because there are so many systems that handle balance differently that it basically defeats the point. It's no different from people saying "make magic balanced" or "make martials fun."
It's definitely doable because plenty of games have rewarding spellsword combat options.

>It's no different from people saying "make magic balanced" or "make martials fun."
Such statements are ultimately useless because they lack quantification. It's not like the player must know the mechanics the same way a developer would, but this kind of feedback is still pointless. Since neither actually says what the player means or what is going on that made them reach that conclusion.

What IS useful is stating what happened, the result, and how it made you feel. That's actually more useful than making some vague demand that's a circular descriptor in the first place.
>>
>>97008158
>Such statements are ultimately useless
That's kind of my point. We're all just speaking in abstract here.
Like I said, to actually solve the alleged problem would require deeper, more individualized engagement that no one in this thread is interested in having because it would require you actually nail down a particular system to serve as the framework to alter, test, and gain feedback within.

It's a shame, I genuinely like this topic within the context of traditional games. The interaction between armor, defenses, spellcasting, and also the argument about thematic niches (the armored warrior and the robe wearing nerd) are all good, fine traditional game topics. And I wonder how specific systems do it, so I may something for my homebrew attempts.
But the thread was made to shill some art and most anons here only talk about vague stuff they know from video games and watching D&D replays. So all hope is lost.

>>
>>97007985
>bunch of dissenting ideas as to what "balanced" meant
The real problem was that the devs idea of 'balance' was perched on mathematical flaws and poor understanding of their own game. They acknowledge this outright in an excerpt where they are talking about the differences between the Hexblade and Duskblade.

You are both correct, in that there are factions of ideologies that take incredible issue with the general openness of sexual content.
It is not all; I know 'nuance' and 'context' are dirty words for the faggots on this site, but they apply at times.

NTA but I think he means they stopped hiding it again. For a while tradcath types had zero political clout so they had to hide behind muh heckin free speecherino and keep their censorious nature on the downlow. But the moment they eked out some ideological headway they immediately started trying to censor everything again.

Real snatching defeat from the jaws of victory type shit.

It's not horseshoe. Psychos that wants to make strangers behave the way they want with no justification exist in any ideology, job, or culture.

...yes, that's literally what horseshoe theory is all about. Fringe radicals behave exactly the same at the end of the day. To the point you can be a tradcath radfem so long as it helps you be the most censorious cunt possible.

But you have centrists that want the same, it's not the extremes touching it's shitty people existing. You have to assume there is some ideal group where no one is shitty at some point of the spectrum for horseshoe to make sense.
>>
>>97014403
>No, see they FIND or create a justification.
true, I meant that they don't try to explain themselves in a way that tries to make you see their point. Like, I live in a pretty catholic area and I know catholics that can explain why it's good to be a catholic if prompted and otherwise live their own lives as they see fit, and others that have a hard time going beyond the idea that non-catholics are cursed existences that will be eventually purged and might as well be now. Same with commies and nazis, the "one of the good ones" is usually the majority of the group. You just don't see them because the worst ones are boosted as an example.
