[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 3944688, member: 54846"] I disagree with this. We know that fighters can go three routes: offense, defense, or hinder/control. I think a fencer could be a control-oriented defender. By focusing on AoOs, by tripping/disarming. Sure, you can try and get by that quick fencer guy, but he's going to put two jabs in your kidneys if you try it. Remember, the defender's job is "Hey, you, fight me, not this guy". Think of a bullfighter. The fencer who's circling the monster, causing it undo amounts of annoying pain is going to distract it. Still, I agree that the rogue could do this job very well. But I don't think it's unreasonable to say that you could make it fit the fighter. Yeah. I've always seen rangers as "the survivalist". He lives off the land, he is best suited for his environment of choice (besides the Druid). Being from the South, we have lots of weekend hunters - the ranger can do that. He doesn't have to love the land to be able to put an arrow in an orc at 300 yards. Also, rangers make me think of special forces. Navy seals, Green Berets, the kind of "Slip in, wipe the floor with them, and disappear into the wilderness" kind of guys. [/QUOTE]
