Fixing the Fighter

[Crothian]

I think instead of fighters starting with all simple and martial weapons and all types of armor, there should be other options.

I agree. Like, what if they couldn't wear armor, but could cast spells?! That'd ROCK!

So, they would have the option of giving up all armor and shield to cast spells. I suggest spontanious spell casting. I'd base thier table off of the Ranger/Paladin table. I'd also make their bonus feats at 1, 4, 7 ,10, 13, 16, 19.

Wow, a topic went from being aompletely off-topic with itself, to becoming on-topic...

And after having a few threads just completely ignored (or hijacked), I was desperate... and mad...

And yes, the eye's were made to echoe the cyber-punk look...

I would fix the title now, but I do like where this is going...

I personally would perfer to see a fighter-type class similar in design to the paladin, but with no special abilities, just feats, and the ability to cast a small number of arcane spells...

I know it can almost be done with multi-classing, but then again, the paladin can almost be done too...

No, to balance the addition of spellcasting you'd have to give this new fighter a worse BAB. Probably start them at +0, and then +1 every two levels. I can see giving them a feat every four levels, though -- that makes sense.

deception isnt very nice...although smart. it still isnt nice.

i say take the eyeball gimmick and have it replace the eyeball physically like the eye of vecna! Now that would be kool!

Okay, I'll try, in the guise of your friendly neighborhood Admin: posting threads with blatantly misleading titles isn't cool. Please change it, or I'll change it for you - and i'm pretty sure you don't want that.

Sorry you were frustrated, but you need to keep titles at least somewhat accurate in the Rules and House Rules forums. If I were you, I'd have named the thread "It's always funny until someone loses an eye."

I personally like the first patch as is, the second should entail a drawback involving the loss of an eye and possibly a -2 CHA because it looks kinda wierd.
I don't see what the big deal is about titling the thread WAY off topic, as long as it's not some sort of movie review (Triple X was good though)
The best way to get a fighter who wears no Armour and casts spells is to multi-class and don't wear the armour.
