[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 976632, member: 5834"] [b]re[/b] I am going to use the new Ranger as a test for what I would like the common fighting person to become. I'll probably give them medium armor proficient and replace combat paths with bonus feats. In the future, I would like a fighting class that relies on skills as much as arms. I personally want fighting classes to better fit literary archetypes. I think a larger selection of skills and higher skill points would do well to make the fighter more alike to the fighting persons that exist in literature. I don't know how many times I have read the story of the fighter with the hawklike eyesight and ears as a keen as an animals, yet the fighter does not get Listen or Spot. Many fighters in literature also know how to live off the land and track. In the old medieval days, those were not exclusive skills, they were survival skills. Any soldier or knight worth anything knew the basics for living off the land. They didn't have a great system of roads or travel, and I still don't understand why common skills such as Ride, Listen, Spot, Survival and similar skills aren't available as general skills to all classes.
