[QUOTE="paulewaug, post: 1056801, member: 5899"] That is an interesting idea, although if are unhappy with the true/pure Fighter maybe working these "spells" a lot more closely into weapon based Fighter Bonus feats would work out a bit better? Personally I see Fighters as the biggest market for strong Magic Items. I know some people are unhappy that they seem to "need magic" items to be effective but that is how they are. Arthur and Excalibur, Thor and Mjolnir (sic?), Samurai Jack and his magic Katana ;), etc. Personally I don't feel that Fighters are any less useful than a Sorcerer carrying a "combat load" of spells. Or a Monk I guess either- They can still do things. They should be high profile and as they get higher in levels they should be the "Glory Boys" of the group. Arcane Casters can be creepy, Divine Casters can be..overbearing, Rogues are shifty (thief mode) or full of Wind (as a "Rogue") Bards are flashy and talk of Other peoples greatness (nor do they have what it takes to claim to be a mightier Spell caster or Warrior compared to one of equal level), Rangers are loners, But the Fighter is the Professional Sportsman of the "common folk." It is them that most people would normally gravitate towards. I think that maybe using the "bolt feats" as an "Add-on" to a Missile Weapon attack would be kind of cool. Like a Heroic Enhancement ability. As an aside and of no real use to this topic but along the heading of "Fighter Spells" I am playing a Ranger-Fighter in a current campaign involving 4 pcs. We have a Wizard and a Cleric and at the start of every "day" the dms ask for "spells lists" I always right up my "spell list" and give it to him. He seems to think is amusing, or at least tolerates it fairly well. My list is "Power Attack" and "Cleave" he he...I often forget to use powerattack and say "Aw I should have used a spell!" ;) Just a little story, thanks for your time! [/QUOTE]
