[QUOTE="Khaalis, post: 6613785, member: 2167"] I don't want to get into a huge argument. Personally I couldn't care less if anyone uses or doesn't use the variant. I'm sure just as many people feel as you do as there are people who use it and like it for filling a need in their style of game. It simply fills a need for certain genres. /shrug I will just say that Light Fighter's DEX+INT AC is no different than the Barbarian's DEX+CON, Monk's DEX+WIS or the Alternate Cleric DEX+WIS or even Connorsrpg Unfettered (DEX+INT) - all gained at Level 1 and just as open to "abuse" if you allow min-maxing at your table. If you do, you can get better "broken" combos out of the core rules. Anyway, so should those abilities be removed as well? Not to mention as for the Wizard comment, I don't see Uncanny Defense as being really any better than Wizard dipping one level of Fighter for being a Plate wearing wizard with the addition of the Defense Fighting Style, especially since nearly nobody bothers to enforce encumbrance rules and in 5E there is nothing that prevents a wizard from casting in armor they are proficient in. Additionally I have to say the Light Fighter doesn't obsolete the Fighter. They are two paths to the same end. As I always say, taste and opinion are subjective. [/QUOTE]
