They get stacked with slow spells, and are rendered useless again.

I tinink melee characters should have a stun attack, not a freezing one, so the thawing potions prove ineffective.

Another fix is, instead of giving melee characters range-8 all the time in PvP, and completely stripping them of their true class meaning, instead, we could give the stun/freeze attack a range-8 and once the skill wears off you're back to range-1.

I love you for this reference.
I think I'll have to cave-in, and accept this as the only possible solution.

Swordsmen --> Throwing lance animation in PvP
Dwarves --> Throwing axe animation in PvP
Ogre --> Throwing rock/boulder (maybe a sling instead?) animation in PvP

Then, as someone mentioned previously, 1-range in PvM.

I still say a "charge" or "lunge" skill which immediately places you (and keeps you via "auto-follow") next to your target when used would be a huge step while still maintaining uniqueness of class. I will admit though, your reference to Baldurs Gate is pretty powerful
