[QUOTE="poilbrun, post: 1144135, member: 532"] Having the Dragon in which the variant 3.5 fighters in it, I'd like to point that it's clearly stated that you cannot multiclass fighter with one of them, nor two of them. As for the problem at hand, I belive the fighter is overall better in a fight than any other class. Sure, other class have nice features that mean they can outshine the fighter in other areas, sure there are some fights where they'll do better than the fighter, but over the course of a campaign ranging from 1st to 20th level, the fighter will be more effective than any other class. I wouldn't give the fighter any extra skill point, unless I gave extra skill points to everyone (which I sometimes do when I DM smaller groups), and I wouldn't give them more class skills, even though I'd agree to other class skills, as in the variants from Dragon #310, balanced with the fact that the fighter feat list is reduced (to give an example, the fencer has Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Ride, and Tumble as class skills, but they can only use light armors and bucklers.
