I missed the 15

Just noticed that the Fighter lost 1 of their extra Feats which could be used to patch holes, another minus on the diversity of build and utility scoreboard.

Action Surge tells you exactly what actions it can be used for and the change notes state this as well.

After 40 odd years of the same mistakes with the Fighter I would only strike one of the 3 negative options out and that would mainly be due to the Dunning Kruger Effect.

Also another thing which the designers utterly failed at for the Fighter is regarding GWM & SS feats had the +10 damage element removed, stating that they wanted the damage to be in the base class not feats. Where is it? There is no extra damage built into the class. That would make the...

If they just folded maneuvers into the fighter including the ones added later on that boost certain skills that would of solved most if not all the fighter issues. Maneuvers + mastery would scratched the tactical choice itch and fix the out of combat need. I would of kept indomitable as it was...

Regardless of the thoughts on the various class updates the Fighter has obviously had the least amount of effort and thought put into it. The designers must of used all their time on the Mage classes and passed the Fighter on to Danny the Intern at the last minute.

How about: Conviction: The character can spend 1 HD to add +1d4 to an ability check. This can be done a number of times equal to proficiency bonus and refreshes after a Long Rest.

I think a change as simple Indomitable extending to ability checks would be a good start.

Technically right is the best kind of right even in a grim situation like this.

It is very obvious that more attention and love was put into the Mage Classes.

Fighter now has less out of combat utility as you can only use Action Surge to Attack, Disengage, Dash or Dodge. It cannot be used for actions outside of those ie the things you would use it for out of combat. Majority of players used it for Attack but the option was there.

SSS realy don't like useful Warlord do they. lol

Higher level characters need to do higher levels of healing regardless of class or source so as to remain effective and worthwhile. Saying a martial class should do less is a big part of the problem burdened upon them by card carrying members of the SSS.

The arguments against the Warlord seem to be: Its Magic - No it clearly states it is not. This is totally an integrity issue not a flavor issue it is wrapped up as. Martial Effects should be weaker - No they do not need to be. It forces actions/leadersship - No it does not each player chooses...

The point is that it can be ignored whilst a spell that affects you technically cannot. Clerics have more chance to take your agency away than the Warlord ever did.

Just from a purely mechanical balance standpoint high level play requires larger heals due to the larger instances of damage. Low level healing at higher levels would make a martial healer meaningless, but hasn't that always been that crowds goal.

There is not a debate about what hp are. There are those that can read and those that pretend the passages in question say what they need to keep martials down.

There are 4 ways that a Warlord provides Buffs: 1. Disrupting the enemy, which other players are not forced to take advantage of. 2. Providing Tactical advice which does not force anyone to follow. 3. Inspiration, bonuses granted can be chosen not to use 4. Pre existing plans, which require buy...

I have only ever heard of the Warlord being in charge due to class in the form of "what if" sort of argument wheeled out to discredit the Warlords right to exist. The sort of player that would do that would find a way to be disruptive regardless of what they are playing, the Warlord or whatever...
