[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 7531726, member: 779"] Too many people want fighters to be simple, and only have the valid options of Attack Attack Attack, so the options for more depth and breadth in fighting aren't always going to be received well. There's a few things to do with str or dex checks, but that depends on how flexible the DM is in allowing special or unconventional things to happen. Now 4e's problem with powers was too much of the sameness, and being really fiddly about effects and how much more damage over a standard attack. But I think 5e is slowly introducing ways to manage spells or mathematical equivalents to spells, while making them different from the classic wizard paradigm. I certainly wouldn't mind a character that could cause an area effect attack with Thunder Damage by slamming a hammer into the ground (which would definitely be a magical attack), but it's likely not going to happen in the near future.
