Diabolic Doppelganger 03-19-04, 01:09 PM	I was wondering which is better in terms of: 1) Power 2) Optimization Capability 3) Over-All Playability 4) Versatility I have a campaign coming up, and I was wondering which build I should play... I am leaning towards the AT build, as it seems as if spellcasters are generally more powerful than non-spellcasters, but we are playing 3.5, so I don't know if that is true anymore... Comments, Suggestions?
