[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3219512, member: 13966"] No, I did not assume the fighter is already balanced with other warrior classes. It is simply that the number of extra feats, and the greater hit die, are more than enough compensation for any deficiencies of the fighter compared with those other warrior classes. Thus, a bit unfair to them, but I never said it was [I]far[/I] too unfair (I wouldn't necessarily demand a small boost to those other classes, but I would consider it at least). In 3.5 it's a bit more debatable (than in 3.0) whether or not the fighter is balanced with the barbarian and such (since Complete Warrior and PHB 2 added so many more fighter-appropriate feats). Though I would still consider the fighter a bit disadvantaged to other PC-class warriors (and I consider all of the mundane and slightly-magical classes to be at a minor disadvantage toward magic-focused classes at upper levels). Look through the other pages of threads in the House Rules forum for "What Do You Do For Fighters?" thread, it has various folks' little changes and variants on the core-rules Fighter class, including my Aurelian version of the Fighter (though I'm not the one who started the thread; I'm terrible with names, so I can't remember for sure off the top of my head, but I think it was a thread started by Nyaricus). This one should be 2-5 pages back (not sure exactly) and I don't recall if it came after the March forum crash or not. EDIT: Here's Nyaricus' thread. About two pages of posts to it, of various peoples' Fighter tweaks, houserules, and variants.
