[QUOTE="Gez, post: 1244405, member: 1328"] As I think I've said, to suppress the Cha-as-a-dump-stat syndrom, I have keyed the Parry ability to Charisma. In game, I explains it more as feints than as dodges (the actual flavor of the ability). The unfettered is already dodging enough as-is. Interestingly, this made me decide it can't be used against mindless opponents, or opponents who don't speak your language. It's the wordy swashbuckler, distracting the opponent with his words to better keep his eyes away from his sword. In order to make the fighter less bland, what about this: At level 4, the fighters get to select Weapon Specialization, a feat that's (nearly) exclusive to his class. At every 4 levels thereafter (8, 12, 16 and 20), the fighter gets to select another exclusive feat. I would destroy utterly the CW Exotic Weapon Master class, which is ridiculous to begin with, and turn all the stunts into Fighter-only feats that require Weapon Specialization in same weapon. The fighter would still, of course, be free to select any other feat. Just like he isn't forced to take Weap Spec at level 4. [/QUOTE]
