[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7892816, member: 996"] I have to admit to that line of thought, at times, too. A class based around manuevers, just more, more varied, more customizable, more versatile - and level-gated. From that you could build a fighter that takes up a combination of tanking, single or multi- target DPR, support, or even control, depending on build, tactics and weapon mix. Done well, with 5e's fairly seamless STR/DEX decision, you might even fold rogue into it. It's tempting, like the thought of consolidating arcane casters into a Mage class, or divine classes into a Priest. At-will abilities are pretty limited. Guidance is an example of at-will support. It's oddly controversial. At-will healing is hard to imagine. Its a template of at-will to short to long rest recharges, weighted towards the last, which is where critical support functions fit. Cleric or Bard, really. The trick is to use a different, martial resource, like manuevers, but moreso... [/QUOTE]
