D&D 5E And Lo, the Fighter Did Get a Shtick of his Own... COMBAT SUPERIORITY!

[Argyle King]

So, the fighter gets a certain amount of dice/number of sides depending on level, and can spend them to do stuff like boost damage, boost accuracy, do a special attack, and the like. Maybe I missed something, but it sounds like it's basically a point system that pretends that it isn't a point system.

If I had to guess, there may be a few shades of Iron Heroes in there. If so, I think that is fantastic. I felt that 4th Edition design should have been more informed by Iron Heroes than by SWSA.
