But it's not so much being a Striker AND Defender at the same time, which would be OP, but it is a role in between the two of them. They can deal damage and soak damage, but not as much, respectively, as a "Striker"* or Tank. * Terms vary: Assassin, Melee/Ranged DPS, Mage, etc. That said, every power source in D&D 4e kind of had a secondary sort of specialty. So there was often some healing/support involved for all in the Divine power source, including the Strikers, Defenders, etc. Likewise, the Martial power source's secondary thing was typically damage. So while the Fighter was not pumping out the damage of the Rogue and Ranger, they were typically better off damage-wise than other non-Martial Defenders.</blockquote>
