They're the only class without ANY distinct class features - by definition, that isn't too great. At least half-caster classes like Hexblades and other warriors like Barbarians have special abilities at their disposal. Fighter is usually only a class taken for a quick feat or two, or to qualify for a good PrC. A pure 20th level Dwarven Fighter isn't much to look at compared to other characters, but a 10th level Dwarven Fighter and 10th level Dwarven Defender has its place on the battlefield. Maybe you could encourage use of Fighter as an auxillary class (its only real purpose, I believe) by eliminating multiclassing penalties for being a Fighter, or something like that.If you really need to show some love, just toss in a class feature or two, like ability boosts (Str and Con would make sense), a few extra feats, and maybe more skill points or something along those lines.Come to think of it, a smartly played Fighter with an excellent selection of feats, combined with a good player with a LOT of sourcebooks can be pretty powerful. The Spiked Chain Trip/Disarm/AoO/Reach build Fighter, while cheesy, is a force to be reckoned with. Combine that with Monkey Grip for an oversized Spiked Chain, and that's some serious power we're talking about.</blockquote>
