Further flavour can be added with subclasses. There are enough fans to the Archetype since 1e and before, that it deserves to be a class of its own. WotC know it is a popular concept which is why they have continued to make subclasses that play to that theme. But I and obviously many others (based on the number of forum threads and numerous Homebrew attempts on DMGuild and elsewhere on the net) have found all of them to be unsatisfactory so far, for one reason or another. Personally it is my preferred play style to have a magically enhanced warrior. So I would love a good class to put it off well. Unfortunately I don't think WotC will make one because they are reluctant to add base classes this edition. So homebrew is probably the best we will get. Also I love stabnerd as a replacement for Gish. Obviously not as a class name but as an expression of the concept.</blockquote>
