[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 5814289, member: 63508"] The fighter should be the "human" of D&D classes. They can switch between fighting styles, weapons, and tactics OR focus on a few. Each fighting style and weapon should have their own strengths, weaknesses, and preferences. Every other class is stuck with whatever style and weapons their class prefers. Moving out that style requires a lot of resources. The fighter and ranger can snipe the orc shaman from afar with a longbow. The fighter and warlord can keep away the pet wolves with longspears. The fighter and rogue can stab the ogre's hand with it grapples them with a pair of daggers. The fighter and cleric bash the shaman's skeletons to bits with a mace and heavy shield. The fighter and barbarian can cleave through multiple orc warriors with greataxes. The paladin and paladin can duel the orc chieftain's elite bodyguards with swords and light shields. But only the fighter can employ all these strategies against the orc chieftain when the time comes. [/QUOTE]
