A well built fighter can move from tanking to damage when compared to an average striker (damage dealer). However, an equally well built striker will always out pace a fighter.In deference to the 4e fans, this was not entirely a bad thing. 4e sacrificed flexibility in favour of structure, which made for a much, much more balanced and consistent play experience. Fighters were really good at what they did and have a solid role in the party.D&D5 is much more like earlier editions in terms of class design. Download the Basic rules when you get a chance and see for yourself. You might be pleasantly surprised.No.The basic fighter has some special abilities but these are very much not spells. And the fighter can opt into maneuvers, which are special attacks but that work very differently than spells.</blockquote>
