Inspired by some of the comments on other threads, I've devised a new fighting style for the Intelligent fighter:
Tactical
You can choose to add your Intelligence modifier to your attack roll with weapons and unarmed strikes instead of your Strength or Dexterity modifier.
(and for our house-ruling boost: You can use your bonus action to add your Intelligence modifier to damage on your attacks instead of your Strength modifier.)
I'm sure this is "late-to-the-game", but it will allow someone to play a Fighter who can focus on using their wits in combat more than anything else.
Thoughts?
EDIT: updated to reflect that on further thought, a feat might be better than a Fighting Style.
Tactician (feat)
Once during your turn, when you take the Attack action, you can add your Intelligence modifier to your attack roll and damage when you attack with a weapon or make an unarmed strike.
Better as a feat? Further thoughts?
