[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 9017255, member: 7015698"] I think the ‘simple guy who swings a sword’ should be entirely hoisted upon the Barbarian. It’s perfect for mindless play with lots of big numbers. Big HP, big attack and big damage dice. And don’t you tell me a Rage is hard to track. The Fighter could then be eaten by the Warlord who’d steal his name. The Warlord fits the original Fighter better as he was always destined to become a Lord and lead an army of mundane soldiers. Let that Fighter be good at small squad combat! Yup! The Fighter could finally have an identity beyond 'has a weapon and armor'. Why not have a leadership specialist? ‘Leadership’ is just another ‘aspect’ to put into subclasses the same way Arcane Magic or Martial Might or Sneaky Stuff. Should the Paladin and Cleric be removed because you can have a Divine Soul Sorcerer? Or a Celestial Warlock?
