[QUOTE="MostlyHarmless42, post: 9053972, member: 6845520"] While I disagree with the narrow definition of what a "fighter" is in this thread. (I'm on board for ruling out Eldritch Knight but frankly every other subclass I would argue should be present. Though to answer the question we've had a number of straight class fighters, many of whom has made it past 8th level. To my memory we've had a champion, two battlemasters, two samurai, a cavalier, a banneret/purple dragon knight, two echo knights, an arcane archer, and a rune knight. While the poll does not care, I've also had no less than 3 eldritch knights. Frankly I don't think I've ever had or been in a party that doesn't have at least one fighter, with several of them having two within the same party. All of except for the eldritch knights were made by veteran players whom had played at least two or more characters before they created the fighter, albeit not all of them were what I'd label as an optimizer or min/maxer. I feel like there are a number of people on these forums that seem to forget that there is a sizable amount of players out there who simply do not care for [I]either[/I] optimizing [I]or [/I]character complexity on a mechanical sense. The majority of the players for the 4 different groups I am in vastly prefer characters focused on roleplaying rather than combat. And honestly for myself? If I were ever forced to only play one class for the rest of my time with 5e it would be the fighter hands down, despite them getting largely no mechanical abilities for out of combat and preferring roleplaying myself. I [I]like[/I] that I can just focus on my[I] character[/I] and not just keeping track of things like spell slots or figuring out which situational ability to use where. [/QUOTE]
