Gnorman's Complete E6 Compendium

[theDuskling]

if the scoundrel would take the cutthroat archetype and invest the first feat into learning shadow blade he instantly gets dexterity as bonus damage. so he could easiely do more damage then the sawbones.

the sawbones got a higher MAD if he goes melee and still wants decent dc's, while the scoundrel can be decent with only maxing out dexterity.

i think as long as the sawbones just gets one archtype power that improves melee it is balanced as it is and it gives cool character options. lowering it would simply make it to an ability usable at the first two levels useless thereafter.

the engineer got other problems to keep an eye on. but we should keep in mind that there are not really many ability improving feats as for other characters which is making him not really scale up in the epic area.
