Hah, so I take it you don't enjoy Mike Mearls' work as a game designer?
Haha! No I think he is pretty brilliant...but I think most players are at least "smart enough." I can come up with lots of champions...
And I can come up with battlemasters. And eldritch knights...
And I am not brilliant...ok maybe a little bit.
I bet you can come up with reasons the battlemaster is so skilled. Watch game of thrones. What was that swordsman' name? Or even the last samurai! Or perhaps a million other characters! How about Conan? Was he necessarily a barbarian in the movie? Or bormir?! He fits somewhere...thorin? So many others? Just not strider...he was an archetype in another way. Elric?! Was he an eldritch knight or a hexblade? Come on! Players can do this!
