Every fight with even a little bit of forewarning should see you enspelled with Haste (always the primary melee buff), Enlarge Person (for large threat radius and tripping hostiles) and Protection from Evil (so you don't get charmed) at the least.But there are tons of buff spells out there that would help your survivability. Your group's casters ought to make sure you are buffed up the wazoo everytime they have the chance to make it so: Barkskin, Shield of Faith, Magic Vestment, Displacement, Resist Energy, Bull's Strength, even Stoneskin if the going gets tough. If you fall, their squishy little butts are in the fire. Also, you're probably your group's primary damage machine. Make this clear to caster players.Also, why is the opposition not blinded, stuck in a web/solid fog/briar web, held, fleeing in panic, or otherwise out of the fight after the casters have had a couple turns? Now that would really help you survive! Somebody ought to cast less Magic Missile/Fireball and more actually useful stuff!2. Why do you complain? Being hit is the Fighter's job, besides hitting the other guys that is. You probably have a decent HP total - I make it an average of 83.5, that should allow you to soak some hits. So come on, who is going to eat a Hill Giant's full attack and not die, you or the scrawny Sorcerer who's hiding behind your back? Bear your injuries like a badge of honor and don't come crying to me when some monster knocked you around a little. It's not as if you can't take it.Sure, people better not make snide comments about the Fighter who heroically plants his face in the mud in round two every fight - you're saving their precious skins by doing that, after all. But don't expect to come out without a scratch, either. You're not Mr. "I'm invisible and flying and have mirror images and am totally effete and uselessly arrogant about it". You're Mr. "Show me what you've got. Bring it. No, seriously. Hit me. I dare you." And you should be proud of that!</blockquote>
