[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6708142, member: 22779"] How am I in the same league when I do half as much damage? I have to hit FOUR TIMES just to equal the defensive paladin. And I can only do that once per short rest. The paladin can smite pretty much at will by now - he's got that many spell slots. He can certainly do so every round. My point wasn't that fighters were weak (although, I'm not sure that they might not be) but rather that this idea that fighters are combat kings is ridiculous. Even a damage focused fighter gets overshadowed by every other damage focused character. My defensive fighter, with heavy armour and all the goodies, has the same AC than the light armour Dex monkey. So he gets to do double the damage that I do, with the same defences. My point through all of this is that the fighter as "damage king" is a myth. Fighters aren't the damage kings - which is a shame since that's supposed to be a fighter's schtick. I should not have to laser beam focus a charop board fighter just to do the same damage as a paladin. It should be the other way around, if fighters are supposed to be the combat kings. [/QUOTE]
