Why exactly are you on this thread? In my experience 1e had incredible constraints on martial characters they had so little intrinsic, almost nothing that made them even as interesting as 5e ones. And poppycock about magic items making the martial characters feel mythic it made them feel like peasants dependent on DM largess compared to casters, ie the exact opposite of your assertion happened all the time see that was my experience is that wonderful how anecdotes work?I know, it's probably the way we played it in each edition
My 9th level fighter might as well had side-kick floating over his head, he had a sword with higher numbers and hitpoints... oh my how epic. /sarcasm
