It is build dependent, but on average fighters do get easier access to passive AC increases (though this is a trivially easy feature to poach via multiclassing, in some instances without giving up much spellcasting progression)As it relates to strength check capabilities, there's kind of a whole cottage industry of spells to replicate or replace the "strongman" built fighter (which is not every fighter). Enhance Ability, Skill Empowerment, Bigbys Hand, and Telekinesis all do so more or less directly. A wide variety of mobility related spells do so indirectly. These are active vs passive and have a cost attached, but they are also frequently waaay better tools than raw strength stat + proficiency. Basically (some) fighters have a basic claw hammer which they can swing all day. Wizards have a trailer that can hold some jackhammers, impact drivers, nail guns, etc. They just need to make space in the trailer and remember the battery packs.The fighter doesn't have that trailer though..they just have a hammer.</blockquote>
