What is the mightier? Steel or Spell?
I prefer the mage myself.Others may differ.I've Never seen a Paladin or a Fighter do anytihng to prevent damage to himself or launch objectiles at the foe iwtohut need of a crossbow or composite bow. Whereas the sword deals mightier blows with the sword in close combat. So email me or something and give me your opinion!

i've played barbarian twice and i'm currently playing an assasin dueled to a mage at level 11 so i really like them both equilly.

I would say the mage is most useful as you can kit one up with pleant of items to make them an effective hand to hand figter but you cant make a fighter cast spells (as far as I know).

Lock a first level fighter and a first level mage in a telephone booth and there is no question the fighter will be the one to emerge alive.

If you use 20th level characters staring 100 yards apart the mage probably has an advantage.

It is the old infantry vs artillary question. Niether is better, both have their place.

This debate AGAIN?

My vote - steel with sufficient protective items

In close combat a mage would get smoked. At 100 feet those Fireballs would fry a fighter to a crackly crunch. As any party goes no mage can survive long without fighters for close (and i mean close) support. Mages dont have the strength to do much damage in melee and a 10d6 fireball does alot more damage than a heavy crossbow at a distance

Right on Sherpa!!!!!
