[QUOTE="Blue, post: 6523565, member: 20564"] Ranger can cast the spell Hunter's Mark for additional damage. One of their choices can also give an extra attack vs. an adjacent foe - not as powerful as focus fire and it may often not come up, but it's tons quicker than the fighter 3rd attack. Dex paladin can give you a big bonus to hitting (either +Chr to weapon or auto advantage vs. a single opponent for 2 of the 3 oaths) once per short rest, and can also concentrate on the Bless spell which offsets a lot of the penalty for -5/+10. And they have enough defense to keep concentration going. Though they would need a dip to grab Archery fighting style. Fighters have more attacks than anyone, will max stats quicker and then get more feats. If your DM allows dual hand crossbows then crossbow expert and sharpshooter go great together and Fighter has the feats to make it happen. Also not taking variant human has less opportunity cost because of more feats overall. battlemaster has many abilities that work nicely with ranged weapons, and the sheer number of attacks make champion's extended crit range nice.
