Thor's a Tempest Cleric/Divine Soul Sorcerer, though. I'd say Captain America and Hawkeye are both more Fighter than him within the MCU.

This is sounding a lot like what the Warlord is likely going to wind up being, if it resembles the 4th edition class it's named after.

I think that's kinda my problem with the Class as it presently exists. Its lack of a strong theme means that it's hard to come up with out-of-combat stuff that's both at sufficiently awesome levels to feel like the character has any agency in the story, that still leaves the Class without a...

Problem with giving the Fighter super tracking is that now they're treading on the Ranger's toes, design-wise. Especially the Magicless Ranger that seems to be a goal for this game. This is what I was talking about with all the other classes nibbling away at the Fighter. There's basically...

This is a valid observation, they're nowhere near as impressive as magic. But at least they have things they do out of combat. They either fight and do this other thing (Paladins, Rangers in theory), or do the other thing and are handy in a fight (Rogues). Barbarians and Fighters may as well be...

But in 1974, the "Fighting Man" WAS the martial class. Period. Wiley woodland warriors (the future Ranger), raging barbarians (duh), knights in shining armor (later becoming Paladins), they all fell under its auspices as "guy/gal who fights." In the intervening 46 years, the Fighter has had its...

Thus why my suggestion was some sort of hybrid of what is now Barbarian and Fighter. Some archetypes would move you away from armor, and into the true Barbarian thematic realm. Others would move towards armor and what we presently consider the Fighter. But by having them as variations on a...

So this might be an awful idea, I ain't exactly a game designer or anything, but I'd say the Fighter class is stuck as a sacred cow. In modern editions, everyone is fairly decent in combat, and so it's stuck having to only be good in combat, or step on the design toes of other classes. And even...
