[QUOTE="ZombieRoboNinja, post: 6361434, member: 54843"] I'm betting bards stealing smite wasn't fully intended. Ah well. I do like how I can skim the op's chart and say to myself, "Hmm, fighter has better health and damage almost throughout. Looks legit," while the op's description makes it sound like the fighter is crying in the corner. You know what you might consider doing to level the playing field a bit in the utility section? Have the fighter spend his two extra feats on Ritual Caster and Skilled. Bam, more skills than the bard (though no expertise, thanks Obama), and plenty of utility spells. Additionally, you could consider the Battlemaster instead of the Champion, and keep up those short rests every 2-3 fights. If you're assuming 16 rounds of combat and 3 short rests a day (which I believe you said), that's a short rest every... 4 rounds? Jeez, at that rate the Battlemaster gets an extra d8 of damage every single round starting at level 3, plus additional pushing or tripping or whatever for a bit more combat utility. [/QUOTE]
