[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 8492158, member: 63508"] I didn't say they weren't fantastic. I said they aren't as fantastic. The D&D Master Swordmen isn't as fantastic as an Archmage. D&D doesn't even have a Master Swordsman entry in the official books. It's more that people don't like the fantastical element that D&D focuses on for martial characters. It's really just toughness, evasion, an magic items. The paragon or epic tier martial characterr is a tank with 5-10 magic items Other media show other forms of martial fantasticalness and D&D doesn't replicate many other them. level 12. Quite frankly most martial class feature postlevel 12 or so are just level 2-8 class features use to fill [U]dead levels[/U]. Like a ranger gets the abilty to fight blind att level 18. They can also get practically the same ability at level 2 as a fighting style or 4th level from a feat. The fighter just get extra uses of it's low level stuff. Not even stronger version. Just extra uses. [/QUOTE]
