The designers sought to replicate the older editions where fighters were Christmas trees.I mean. Do you think it is a coincidence that Fighter's stop getting new class features the same exact time the Treasure tables ramp up their gifts of magic weapons, armors, and shields?I'm not claim they are the same.I'm claiming the the designers assumed the fighter would have many magic item and designed the game to be very easy to run a campaign when they are not.It is extremely likely based on the way the PHB, MM, & DMG look that every premade fighter in internal playtest had multiple magic items.The game assumes more than that. 5e assumes magic. The monsters were designed assuming the party has magic.5e is just easy to strip out magic.</blockquote>
