[QUOTE="abirdcall, post: 9528947, member: 6748898"] There is far too much design space there to make it Fighter only. They kept it out of all of the full casters which was the right move. Even the mastery feat only provides Str or Dex so is tough for the full casters to take if they want to go that way. Fighters got a lot in 2024 including better mastery than other classes at level 9. Tactical Master doesn't sound great when read but in game doing mastery combos as well having more options available is quite good. They can do all of this with whatever their strongest magic weapon is. Feats are stronger so their extra feat at 6th is very good. They can get to 20 with 3 feats by 8th. Tactical Mind is very good. Only applies when failing and doesn't use it up if you still fail. They even get 1 more Second Wind. Tactical Shift is also very nice. Indomitable is much better. The Champion is quite good now too. Heroic Inspiration every round at 10th level is incredibly strong. Fighters did very well in 2024. [/QUOTE]
