Why does Spellsword get more Disc at 28 then Fighter?

[BegoneThoth]

At level 28, fighter gets 10. SS gets 15.

Why? Are spellswords simply more disciplined by nature?

If it's because they are a pure caster that melees and thus discipline is mandatory, can druids or clerics get such a boon for going pure as well?

I think it is to keep discipline on the old SS version 1.0 who are most likely only wizard based builds.

I doub anyone will go pure SS up to 28th loosing fourth attack, tumble AC, just to get +15 discipline...

Fighters have Discipline as a class skill and have the option to take ESF: Discipline. In practice, the Fighter will have higher Discipline.

If that's the methodology that's interesting. So wizards can cross-class disc and end up with almost full progression.

If that is intended, when other non-disc classes get updated, can we expect the same types of boon, so multi-classing specifically for disc is less required? Or is this going to be a spellsword only trait?

[yellowcateyes]

No similar changes are on the table.

Interesting.

Thank you for answering.

Its also not the wizard class as a whole that gets said update, but a specific path.

If you cross class disc you'll have 31 before strength and you won't be able to esf it.

A pure fighter will be able to, so 33 + 10 + ESF for 53.

It's not even comparable. Also, a caster cleric is just that--a caster cleric. Not a clericsword. That's a different build, and that one gets discipline.

apples to oranges, man.
