[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 7726257, member: 6786252"] Well, I agree about the human part, but the fighter part? Not so much. Aaragorn is totally a paladin. Or a ranger, depending on your view. Gimli, Sam and Merry might be fighters, but Frodo and Sam are not. Bilbo is a rogue. Conan the Barbarian. Its right in the name. Robin Hood is totally a Ranger. Wu Xia stories default to the monk class. You've got Eragon with the mix of magic and swordmanship, but the magic comes from the oath to the dragon, so paladin to me once again over Eldritch Knight. King Arthur is pretty much an iconic paladin as well. D&D novels tend to have wizards and rangers and rogues and clerics as main characters. Kelemvor is about the only actual fighter that I'm aware of, and there were a ton of characters in that story arc. Heracles is totally a barbarian. I know of a few stories with tactician / warlord types, and that's supposed to be part of the fighter chasis in 5e... but that's not the intent I think you're going with here. So, who are these legendary Fighter types? Most of the ones I can think of actually fit other classes better than Fighters. The only real exception I can think of is the main character stories of some MMOs seems to default to a fighter/warlord mix type. [/QUOTE]
